At Musselburgh tomorrow the Howard Johnson trained pair Laborec and Prince Car catch the eye in the opener at 1.30. Slight preference is for Laborec who is the mount of Richard Johnson.
In the 2.30 at the Scottish track Tamimi’s History, twice a winner on the flat in Ireland is an interesting runner for Nicky Richards. The other one I like at Musselburgh is The Duke’s Speech in the 3.00.
The Tother One was a winner for Paul Nicholls today and his half brother Thisthatandtother can add to the champion Trainers tally in the 3.40 at Fontwell.
Ruby Walsh has usually partnered Thisthatandtother over the years but he is riding in Ireland tomorrow. I like the look of his chances in the 1.35 at Punchestown on Sophocles, who was runner up in the Cheltenham Festival bumper and won over hurdles at Punchestown in December.
Bye for now
