There are only two runners from my lit to follow entered tomorrow, both at Newbury. Putra One goes in the 9.10, and before that Ithbaat in the 7.35. Ithbaat won a mile maiden at Yarmouth but has since been beaten twice in handicap company and has only been dropped 1 lb as a result. He runs over 12 furlongs here a trip that he is not sure to get on pedigree.
Putra One is more likely to benefit from a step up in trip and looks a likely winner although the odds will reflect that no doubt.
Plum Pudding is an interesting runner in the 8.10. Richard Hannon’s 6 year old has won 6 times from 12 appearances at Newmarket but has only won once from 27 runs anywhere else.
Given the name of my web site Mick Channon’s 3 year old Mykingdomforahorse has to be a bit of a favourite of mine. He runs in the 5.00 at Yarmouth tomorrow where he is in with a realistic chance.
Mudawin does not have a great strike rate – 5 from 33 starts. Following him blindly throughout his career would have seen you well in profit though as he has won twice at 20s and famously once at 100/1 in the 2006 Ebor. He is with James Moffatt these days who trains up near Cartmel I think. It is nearly 3 years since Mudawin has actually got his head in front and I see that none of the newspaper tipsters want to know him in the Haydock 4.40. Trip the Light was a horse that did well for me last season winning 3 times and he has added two more victories to his tally this season. He goes well on fast ground but all his wins have come when equipped with a visor and I see that it will be left off tomorrow. He also runs in the 4.40 at the Lancashire track.
Finally, I see that my article on unraced 2 year olds has started to produce winners with Virginia Hall and Exgray obliging this week. My list to follow has also supplied a few winners.
