There are 3 meetings tomorrow with a few of our list horses dotted about.
The Beverley 3.20 has a fair few old favourites such as Caribbean Coral, Wyatt Earp, Fullandby and Cape Royal, but Dig Deep is the representative from the current list to follow. He hasn’t run for 3 months so I think I will just watch him today.
John Dunlop’s Free Offer won a little race at Brighton on firm ground last season and may have scope for improvement. She runs in the 3.55.
Over the jumps French Saulaie and Earth Man contest the 3.30 at Cheltenham. Both trainers have won this race in recent years. French Saulaie has tended to race too keenly but if he can settle better he would have a good chance.
Madison Du Berlais has done well for me winning 3 times this season. He carries top weight for Martin Pipe in the 4.05. This is a race where Pipe senior has had considerable success in the past and Madison De Berlais, who seems to handle any ground, must be respected.
There are no fewer than 5 runners from our list to follow in a hot looking race at 2.00 at Newmarket. Broomilelaw is owned by Sir Alex Ferguson and impressed when runner up in a Newmarket maiden on his only 2 year old start. Urban Spirit was unfancied at 33/1 when runner up in a soft ground maiden at HQ. Rhaam is a half brother to the useful Alfie Flits while Arabian Gulf and The Carlton Cannes are both well thought of by connections. I will give Broomielaw a tentative selection but whatever happens it should be an informative race.
Sander Camillo, favourite for the 1,000 guineas will be expected to win the 3.45.
There are some nice types in the 4.20. Al Shemali quickened well in testing conditions to win at Newcastle on his 2nd start last term. Petara Bay is related to some decent winners and was himself a winner last season at Haydock in September. Hearthstead Maison, trained by Mark Johnston, won first time up at Chepstow last season and may not have appreciated the ground when subsequently beaten at Ascot. He could go well here and is my selection.
Cheap Street and Lady Lily were two year olds that I featured last season and who both did well for us. I am going for another successful juvenile from last season, Sakhee’s Secret in the 5.30 however.
