There are 6 meetings tomorrow on turf, over the sticks and on the all weather. It’s the penultimate day of the jumps season so I’ll start with the jumping at Bangor tomorrow evening. In the 7.15 Quizzene (pictured below) should go close. He won at Newbury last time out and comes from the in form Alan King yard. He was a decent handicapper on the flat for Mark Johnston winning 3 times and chasing home his stable companion Peppertree Lane in a valuable 14 furlong handicap at Haydock.
I must give Temple Place a mention in the 8.15. He has won 4 times in his career at odds of 20s, 12s, 8s and 50/1. Not a bad horse to follow!
Talking of horses to follow I see that Bertie May represents our list in the Chepstow 5.20. He won at Exeter in January but then ran disappointingly at Warwick. He has been off the track for 76 days so may have had a problem. Richard Johnson has been booked to ride him and if you ignore that last run he would have a chance at a decent price.
Johnson rides Wild Tonto in the 6.55 for Helen Lewis. Wild Tonto won at Taunton 3 weeks ago and carries an extra 7 lbs as a result. The stiff left handed track should suit him and the jockey booking is again interesting. Lenny the Blade also runs in this race and was also a winner last time out, leaving his previous form well behind to win at Newton Abbot. Lenny the Blade used to be with Richard Phillips but is now with Sarah Robinson. He is by Derby runner up Master Willie out of a mare called Limelight that won a couple of times over hurdles for Pat Murphy.
At Newton Abbot you would expect Paul Nicholls Oslot to win the 7.05 although I doubt if he will be much of a price.
Up at Perth the 2.40 is a trappy little race where 4 of the 5 runners have realistic chances. Cedrus Libani won 3 times earlier in the season but was out of his depth when upped in grade last time at Aintree. Modicum has been really consistent all season but only won once. He ran a tremendous race when 3rd to Tidal Bay at Aintree and a repeat of that form would probably be good enough. He seems to need good ground though so it will be important to monitor the going. If there was an “S” in the going description I would switch my allegiance to Marodima.
Despite Cabinet’s win yesterday most of the Sir Michael Stoute runners I have put forward this season so far have run poorly. I am a bit reluctant to wax lyrical about Ask in the 1.50 at Sandown as a result. I like him though and I am sure he will win races this season. In view of the current stable form I just think that the 7/4 on offer is a bit short. Ask has apparently been working with Cabinet at home though if you want to read something into that.
There is no doubt that Henry Candy has his string in good form and with Sir Michael Stoute’s jockey, Ryan Moore on board I fancy Candy’s Corrybrough in the 2.25.
Dar Re Mi made a big impression when 2nd on her only start at Newmarket last season and looks the one they all have to beat in the Sandown 3.35. Danae was 5th in the same race and she has already come out and won this season. Of the others Sovereign’s Honour looks the type to do well at 3 and there is also a good word for the unraced Albarouche
Conduit and Colony look interesting runners in the 4.10 with Conduit probably the pick on jockey bookings.
My best bet at Wolverhampton would be Skadrak in the 2.15.
Good luck
