Diary: August 22 & 23 2009

 

The last couple of days have seen an improvement on the tipping front including Dig Deep at 16/1 yesterday. Most of the horses featured in last night’s preview ran well enough.

As usual I will go through the runners from my list to follow that are entered tomorrow starting at Chester with Invincible Lad in the 2.25. He is on a high enough mark at the moment I feel and does not have an ideal draw. He has a bit of an each way chance but there do seem to be others with stronger claims notably Tom Dascombe’s Bertoliver a course and distance winner with a nice low draw who has a very able pilot in Philip Robinson.

Although not one of my “listers” I think that Dhaular Dhar is in with a chance in the 3.30. He likes a sharp track and does well in big field handicaps.

Saga De Tercey is entered in the 5.10 but ran today so may well be withdrawn. If he does line up he would warrant serious consideration.

It would be a lovely result if Simple Rhythm could win the Ripon 2.50 as the race is in memory of the jockey’s mother. The once raced Ruthie Babe from the William Haggas yard could be the answer in the 4.00.

Trumpstoo and Know by Now represent my list to follow in the 5.05. Trumpstoo looks to have the better chance of the pair. He is also entered on Sunday in the 5.20 up at Musselburgh.

In the Sandown 2.10 Say No Now looks a decent price at around 6/1 while in the 3.15 course and distance winner Antinori looks good value at 12s

Sir Mark Prescott sends his consistent 2 year old Virginia Hall over to Deauville where she tackles Group 3 company for the first time in the 2.05.

They is a good card at Deauville on Sunday where a couple of English colts, Canford Cliffs and Arcano contest the Group 1 Prix Morny. Both come into the race with unbeaten records and it promises to be a fascinating clash.

Bye for now
