The last few days have yielded some degree of success with winning tips for both the Oaks and the Derby with Seeking the Buck and Roman Republic also coming up trumps in handicaps.
I will cover Monday and Tuesday tonight.
At Folkestone tomorrow it might be worth having a look at Barter in the 4.45. She is related to some smart types and may be better than she has shown so far. Thus will be her third run so she will qualify for handicaps from tomorrow and may be worth considering in that sphere.
Mr Crystal is a horse I have followed with some success in the past. He runs tomorrow in the Pontefract 7.20. He has plenty of weight but stays really well, is a course winner and relishes firm ground.
In the sprint at 9.20 both Charles Parnell and Dig Deep are well handicapped if things drop right for them.
At Chester on Tuesday Wigan Lane should be all the better for his debut run when 6th at Redcar. He runs in the 6.45.
Kammaan represents my list to follow in the Redcar 4.45. A beaten favourite on his last couple of starts he doesn’t look one to rely on. Sir Royal on the other hand is entitled to go close in the 5.45 on the strength of his 2nd last time out at Ayr although he has been raised a couple of pounds for that run.
My best chance of a winner may come at Salisbury. Imperial Warrior and Flashy Lover should both be better for their respective debut runs and should go well in the 1.40. Imperial Warrior is a half brother to the sprinter Wyatt Earp while Flashy Lover is related to Flashy Wings who was a smart 2 year old a few years ago.
Burma Rock showed enough promise in 3 runs as a juvenile to suggest that he could pick up a handicap or two this season. He runs in the 3.20 and is trained by Luca Cumani.
Lastly my two against the field in the 3.55 are Cascata and course and distance winner Aromatic.
It has been teeming with rain all day here in the Peak District so I have included a couple of pictures from the national hunt season as that seemed more in keeping with the weather! The pictures, by the artist Sarah Clegg, are of Binocular and Denman.
Take care
