The horses mentioned in my previews have mostly been there or thereabouts over the last few days. Long may that trend continue!
Just before the start of the flat season Captain Jacksparra and Mount Hermon both won races on the same day. Neither has been able to repeat the performance but both are in action over the next two days.
Captain Jacksparra runs in the Lingfield 3.40 tomorrow. He is Kevin Ryan’s only runner at the meeting and has an each way chance as long as all runners stand their ground.
Mount Hermon runs in the 5.40 at Lingfield on Tuesday. He was a disappointing favourite when 6th on his last start back in April (Captain Jacksparra was 2nd). He has been given a lengthy break since then which may indicate that there was a problem with him that day. His earlier form would put him in with a good chance.
Alan King’s Franchoek has won two of his last 3 starts and should again go well in the 3.10 at Goodwood.
In the 3.45 Dunelight, who usually runs well at Goodwood will probably try to win from the front and given his favoured fast ground could take some catching.
I will be back on Tuesday evening
