Diary: March 2 2007

Double Default’s future lies over fences but he can probably pick up a win over hurdles en route.  The form of his two second place runs reads quite well and eh should again be on the premises in the 2.55 at Ayr.

  

Down at Newbury Launde runs in the 3.05.  This lightly raced son of Norwich has already won over fences 3 times.  He jumps well and has Tony McCoy on board tomorrow.  He should go well.

  

The 3.40 looks an open race.  I am hoping that Sha Bihan can put a poor run last time out behind him.  He may have had excuses that day7 and if we draw a line through that performance he is in with a shout.

  

The hunter chase at 4.50 includes a couple of old friends in Temple Dog and Spring Grove.  Temple Dog was 3rd to Back Nine at Sandown last week – he was decent in his younger days.  12 year old Spring Grove has won 8 times under rules. His owner Suzie Old runs a satellite yard for Robert Alner, who used to train Back Nine. Anyway, to cut a meandering story short my tip here is Spring Grove.
