I will start with Great Leighs tomorrow where Rivington Pike could get a place at a big price in the 2.40. He has dropped don the weights and tackles 14 furlongs for the first time.
Another from the same yard that may be over priced is Fantasy Fighter in the 3.40.
If the previous pair were on the dark side I am going for a more obvious selection in the 4.10. Almajd won a Newmarket maiden last season before finishing 5th in the Horris Hill Stakes where Stimulation was runner up. That form should be good enough here.
I went to Scanno last week, a nice sleepy little town in Italy. The horse of the same name runs in the 4.40. He showed a bit of promise on his only run as a two year old, at Beverely, but he has not done a lot this season.
Baybshambles has done our list to follow proud this season with wins at 10/1 and 11/2. I wouldn’t rule him out of the 6.45 at Leicester where the veteran Smokin’ Beau could also go well.
Wood Chorus represents our list to follow in the Newcastle 4.30. A winner at Ripon on soft ground earlier in the month she looks to have too much to do at the weights.
There are two runners from our list to follow in the 5.00, Shanafarahan and La Fortelesa. They both have a bit of an each way chance at around 12/1.
In the 2.50 at Warwick our old friend Caribbean Coral tries to make light of a penalty for his recent win in a claimer at Ripon. This looks a tougher assignment.
Wing Play, a winner at Wolverhampton in November should be fitter for a recent outing and has an each way chance in the Warwick 4.20.
Did you know that Banjo Patterson, who runs in the last race at Warwick is named after the guy that wrote the words to Waltzing Matilda!
I think I had better end on that note. See you tomorrow.
