I was pleased to see the 9 year old Unshakable take the 10 furlong handicap at Newmarket on Saturday. He is one of those horses that always seem to win at a decent price, his last 5 wins coming at 8/1, 7/1, 7/1, 10/1 & now 20/1. This might have something to do with the fact that he comes from an unfashionable stable.
Although there are plenty of meetings tomorrow there isn’t much that catches my eye. Dan Chillingworth was runner up the last time he ran on the all weather over 6 furlongs and has an each way chance back at that trip in the Kempton 3.20.
The 3.55 looks a competitive handicap and the 3 on my shortlist would be Oldjoesaid, Mastership and Chrystany. Oldjoesaid has plenty of ability but has not won at 6 furlongs before. Mastership is proven on the all weather and with a first time visor might well come good. Chrystany has been shaping well this season. She has recently moved from Henry Cecil to Ed Dunlop. Like Mastership she is well drawn and at 14/1 looks a little overpriced. Mastership would be my first choice.
Mountain Pride has done well for my list to follow as he has already won at 20/1. He runs in the Ripon Rowels Handicap at 4.10 tomorrow. He has won twice over a mile and is probably each way value at 12/1.
