With Salisbury abandoned and both Tax Free and Edaara withdrawn because of the ground at Goodwood it was left to Trafalgar Square to fly the flag for the list to follow. Despite being weak in the market he was an easy winner at 9/2.
Turning to Friday’s cards, Cool Customer has been one of the more successful members of the list to follow and he sets the standard in the 2.10 at Goodwood.
Danski caught my eye when flying at the finish to take 3rd at Kempton. If he can get going a bit earlier in the 3.50 he should go close.
River Bravo goes in the 4.45 at Haydock. There are only three runners so a tactical race is possible. Rio Bravo, unlike his two rivals, lacks a recent run but he is a horse of some promise and should be followed this season.
Lady Lily and Our Ruby are possibles in the 2.20 at Newmarket. Our Ruby has had a run already and was 6th showing a bit of promise and should come on for that. She was a cheap purchase but looks promising all the same. Lady Lily is bred to win a race or two and trainer Henry Cecil has a fair record with his debut 2 year olds.
2.55 Arminius wears a first time visa. Won a Newmarket maiden over 7 furlongs last season and was 3rd of 4 on his reappearance this season. I see that none of the tipsters go for him.
3.30 Signatory is probably my best shot at tipping a winner today. This lightly raced son of tough miler Kris has the scope for considerable improvement and the trip here should suit him.
6.35 Pontefract – Confide looks well handicapped and should pay his way over a mile this season. He will probably be best suited by fast ground though.
See you tomorrow
