katy the string

Tomorrow’s jumps racing comes from Musselburgh.

In the first race at 12.20 Caravel is on something of a retrieval mission after being pulled up on his hurdles debut at Aintree. A multiple winner of the flat for Sir Mark Prescott he was an expensive addition to the team under Graham Wylie’s ownership and better will be expected tomorrow.

Geojimali is something of an unlikely runner in the1.20 as all his wins on the flat, including the Ayr Silver Cup, came at 5 or 6 furlongs. Still given decent ground and a sharp track he could pick up a small hurdles race. Watch your bets in this race as we have Bajan Parkes and Bajan Pride.

Pakineo des Pictons represents our list to follow in the 1.580. There may have been something amiss with him when he was a disappointing 4th at Kelso and he should be capable of better than he showed then.

In the bumper at 3.20 Saveiro might be worth considering. He unshipped his rider just after the start on his debut but Alan Swinbank does well in bumpers and this one is worth another chance. He is in the same ownership as Alfie Flits.
