It is always nice to be able to report a winner and Aleatricis ended a bit of a losing run for my selections, albeit by the stubbiest of noses. Although he only just scrambled home off a mark of 45 he might be interesting next time he runs if tried over further. Baybshambles has been a real stalwart for this column and claimed his 3rd win of the season in the last race at Thirsk tonight. Luxuria was a winner at Lingfield and we had a couple of 2nds as well so all in all not a bad day.
The 3.00 at Catterick tomorrow is likely to see Shyrl start at long odds on as she ran 2nd in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot on her last outing. Impressible is another interesting runner. She is related to a number of winners including the top class sprinter Reverence. Also at Catterick Tawzeea, who runs in the 4.30, has only been out of the first 3 once in 7 starts and has an each way chance.
At Chepstow in the 6.40 Mick Channon gives a debut to Conakry who comers from a winning family. He is a half brother to Ajigolo.
The Fifth Member has a race in him somewhere this season. He was 3rd at Leicester last month and doesn’t look badly handicapped in the Kempton 7.50. At around 10/1 he has each way possibilities.
Dvinski has won 3 times at Kempton and his form figures for his last 3 visits to the track read 12322. He has to come into the reckoning for the 9.20.
