There were a couple of winners for our list to follow yesterday, notably Blue Splash for in form trainer Peter Bowen. Blue Splash is a full brother to Ungaro and this was his 4th career win. He looks a horse to follow and I am looking forward to seeing him back over fences.
I understand that Robert Alner continues to make progress after his serious car accident. His stable had a good winner today in Silver Inngot at 10/1. He was having his first run since April 2005 after suffering a series of injuries.
Turning to tomorrow’s racing Pebrock makes his hurdles debut in the 1.00 at Uttoxeter for Welsh trainer Evan Williams. Pebrock won his only start in a Southwell bumper last season when trainer by Nigelo Twiston-Davies.
Mister Potter is bred for the job as he is related to the likes of Denman and Silverburn. He showed form, over hurdles last season and looks the type to make a chaser.
Numero un de Solzen was a consistent chaser last season. He won at Newcastle beating the useful Cloudy Lane. He looks to have a fair chance in the 2.25 at Carlisle.
Ricardo’s Chance has won 3 times over hurdles but they all came on good to firm ground.
There are a couple of other interesting runners in action today. Colisay runs in the 1.00 at Uttoxeter. He finished 4th in the 2003 Lincoln. He won 4 times on the flat and was ridden by a certain K Fallon on each occasion.
Barzak who runs in the 2.05 at Uttoxeter is best known as an all weather performer on the flat. I remember him making a very good start to his flat career a few years back when he won at 11/1 on his debut at Leicester.
