I usually enjoy a fair return from following Sir Mark Prescott’s 3 year olds but this season the strategy has not worked as well. Aleatricis has won 5 times but apart from him most of the others that I have followed have disappointed, the latest being General Ting yesterday. Iron Cross looked a typical potential improver from his stable having run 3 times as a juvenile over inadequate trips. He has shown nothing in his 2 runs over a mile and a half this season and there seems no reason to support him tomorrow in the Southwell 3.45.
I had a “hot tip” for Tyrannosaurus Rex at Wolverhampton last November but luckily I didn’t have a monster bet on him as he could only finish 6th. He remains a maiden but did show some signs of ability last time out when he was runner up over 6 furlongs at Ripon. He runs in the 4.15 at Southwell. Another interesting runner in this race is Dan Chillingworth who is named after a footballer who plies his trade with Cambridge United. He has run 4 times finishing 5th on each occasion but may be a bit better than the bare form figures suggest.
At Yarmouth Stuart Williams saddles Itshim in the 3.00 and Itsher in the 3.30. The former is owned by Itsthem and the latter by Itsus. What is that all about I wonder?
