Newmarket 1.45 I am not sure that hold up tactics are that easy to pull off at this track , so that would rule out old Summerghand. Rabaah comes into this in the could be anything category having only run 5 times , I think the old adage Group horse in a handicap could be relevant with this one. Advised Bet Rabaah 1pt ew @ 8’1 firms offering 5 places
Goodwood 2.05 A wide open Listed contest and not one I want to have a bet in as anything could win this
Newmarket 2.20 Plenty of exposed types in this , the exception looks to be Torito ( only had 5 runs ) . He comes back to action after a layoff , but I can’t help but think he has plenty of scope. Advised bet Torito 1pt ew @ 9’2 / 4’1 firms offering 5 places
Thirsk 2.40 A very competitive handicap , with plenty in with a chance . Northern Express won this last year and having had the benefit of a pipe opener 2 weeks ago ( ran well without being given a hard time ) I can see hime going close once again. Advised Bet Northern Express 1pt ew @ 13’2 William Hill 5 places
Newmarket 2.55 I thought the booking of Ryan Moore was eye catching for Twilight Calls , but he does not want soft ground and I would not be that confident it won’t be that. Of the rest Kerdos looks one to improve this season , but again the ground would be guess work. A no bet race
Newmarket 3.35 City Of Troy looked something exceptional last year and it’s hard to look beyond him winning the first of the classics this season. He is heavy odds a rightly so , just a race to watch and marvel at what could be a quality animal for this season
