I missed one of my horses to follow today – and it won, luckily it wasn’t 100/1. Amstecos, trained in Northern Ireland, just held on from the rallying Ossmoses, another of our “listers,” in the novice hurdle at Ayr. Ossmoses is entered in the Grand National and this was en excellent prep race for him.
Turning to Friday’s action, the jumps racing comes from Newbury. Mark the Book goes for a quick fire hat trick in the opener at 2.10. This big chasing type has scored twice in heavy ground and will be hard to beat if handling the better ground.
Mister Quasimodo has failed to complete on his last two starts over fences and is back over hurdles in the 5.00. He has a bit to do off joint top weight.
I will be back tomorrow for a preview of the weekend’s racing.
