Good morning at this early hour !

Hoping to go one better than yesterdays 1.30 today.

A cracking 5f sprint to start the day and although not the most original of selections Duchess Dora has to be the first choice. She is clearly well handicapped and was an eyecatcher at Beverley on her reappearance from a tricky draw. She has ran well off a break before with figures of 321 prior to her Beverley run. Her second start figures read 114. She's ran three times at York and has figures of 3/3 over the C/D.She normally races close to the pace which is no bad thing here and looks drawn near the likely pacesetters in the race in 3.The three previous winners of this race have been drawn 1,3 and 4.

The other one I like who may well get the run of the race from out front is Judge N Jury from stall 11.
He should be better for the run at Goodwood where the saddle slipped and Joe Fanning is booked who rode him last year here when a good 2nd to Hamish McGonagall off 95. He has won five of his eight races in fields of 15 or more runners and placed twice as well.
His other try at the C/D was in this race when a fair 5th off 99 when trying to give Johannes 4lb.
He races off 91 today and could be hard to catch.

DUCHESS DORA 2 POINTS WIN AT 8/1 (BOG) (A rare win bet from me !)

JUDGE N JURY 1 POINT E/W AT 20/1 (BOG)
