Highlight of the day for me this afternoon was Monolith’s win in the beginner’s chase at Carlisle where he came from a seemingly hopeless position to collar the leaders close home. He has been a grand servant to the Elite Racing Club and has now won on the flat, over hurdles and fences. He was given a peach of a ride today by Wilson Renwick.
Our old friend The Bajan Bandit represents Monolith’s trainer Len Lungo in the 5.20 at Ayr tomorrow. This horse has won an amazing 8 times from 9 starts at Ayr. On the subject of course specialists, First Love, owned by The Queen, has won 4 times at Sandown and runs there in the 4.25, a race he won last season.
In the 5.00 Woolcombe Folly can get off the mark over hurdles. He was just pipped by a short head last time out at Taunton.
