Racing was completely blown away today which was a shame as I was looking forward to old Dancing Bay making his chase debut at Ludlow.
The only jumps meeting tomorrow is at Musselburgh. There are no runners from our list to follow on Friday but I will have a brief look at the races and see if I can spot anything of interest.
12.40 Knockara Luck won bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown and has run well enough in two efforts over hurdles to warrant favouritism here I would imagine. Nothing else really appeals.
1.10 Pevensey was a smart horse on the flat and has already got off the mark for John Quinn over hurdles. His win over Christmas at Catterick was quite impressive and he looks the one to beat here. He is not over big though and has to carry top weight.
Diktatorial won a Group 3 on the flat as a juvenile and has been snapped up by Howard Johnson. Modicum was 2nd here last time. He had some fair bumper form and could well run into a place at least.
Neutron was pulled up last time out but is probably better than that. Painted Sky was beaten a long way on his UK debut at Wetherby but has some form on the flat in France. Pevensey sets the standard.
3.55 Mr Guppy’s 5th behind Sir Boreus Hawk here makes him the obvious choice. Theatrical Moment comes from a stable that do well in this type of event.
Let’s hope the weather improves.
