Friday 19th January

The weather has been playing havoc with the jumps racing & as such ITV have been forced to put on coverage from Wolverhampton as a last resort. Its a card of very low quality especially the last two the 2.50 & 3.25 so I am not going to waste our time looking at those two races.

1.40 Palace Boy comes into this on the back of a win over C&D but has been whacked up 10lbs , he won easily that day however & may be still has something to offer off this much higher mark. Educator has the habit of starting slowly and that never sits well with me in flat races of any kind , he does however drop back in class. Artisan Dancer is the solid performer , while Legacy Power is the unexposed angle. The prices seem about right to me on everything mentioned , so a no bet race

2.15 Al Farabi currently heads the market , he has only had the 4 starts ; but does look a keen runner and a bit of a tricky customer. Follow Your Heart and was probably a little unlucky when last seen at the track. Johnny James isn’t fully exposed and ran well over C&D last month; looks the type who should make further progress and likely to run well. Advised Bet Johnny James 1/2 pt ew @ 5’1 William Hill offering 4 places
