The prospects form racing tomorrow do not look too promising with Ascot and Newcastle already off and Haydock and Navan hinging on morning inspections.
There is an interesting card at Haydock so hopefully the weather will relent a little. In the opener at Haydock, a novice chase at 12.40 My Moment is likely to start a warm favourite. It could be worth taking the favourite on with the giant Quwetwo who won a bumper and two hurdles races last season but is the type to do even better jumping fences.
In the 1.50 Open de L’Isle is worth considering as he will appreciate the testing conditions. He does seem better going right handed however and I prefer Suntini the recent Lingfield winner who also likes soft ground.
The Tommy Whittle at 2.30 looks an open contest. Top Weight Jaunty Flight won first time out last season and likes heavy ground. Jass is a solid stayer but his trainer has not had any winners for the last couple of weeks. The Sawyer acts on the ground and comes into the reckoning as does The Vicar who should strip fitter for his run at the track last month Recent Newbury winner Exmoor Ranger, Nirvana Swing and I’moncloudnine are all worth considering but for my selection I will choose The Vicar.
In the 3.25 Mcmurrough and Wymott look the two to concentrate on. Wymott looks an improving sort and can land the prize.
My selections at Navan are Good Fella (1.55) and Jessies Dream (3.00).
