I nominated 3 selections for today’s Irish National, Wichita Lineman and Drumconvis both lost their lives in fatal falls which rather caste a shadow over the win at 33/1 by my other fancy, Niche Market.
There is plenty to look forward to later this week with top flat meetings at Newmarket and Newbury plus the Scottish National at Ayr. For now though I will concentrate on the more mundane fare on offer tomorrow.
Luca Cumani is one of my favourite flat trainers and he has just one runner at Yarmouth tomorrow. Bullet Man won on the all weather at Lingfield in December and is a lightly raced type with scope for improvement. He is my selection in the 4.50.
I thought about Vodka Brook in the 2.40 at Exeter but his price does look a little short seeing that the stable are not in great form. David Pipe’s Quarry Town has been pulled up on his last two starts but does have ability and with the stable in good form it would not surprise me if he won the 3.10.
At Market Rasen Wind Instrument looks the form pick in the 4.00.
