I won’t spend too long on tonight’s preview as the weather looks likely to disrupt the jumps racing.
At Exeter the 4.15 looks to be between Copper Bleu and Shoreacres. I will give Copper Bleu the edge on the basis that the ground is more likely to suit him.
Diamond Brook was a beaten favourite last time out at Exeter. He returns to the same course tomorrow in the 4.50 where he is likely to appreciate the longer trip. He ran badly on soft ground last time though and that is a concern. Another to consider is the Emma Lavelle trained Court in Motion who is related to the useful Bensalem.
If Leicester goes ahead Sandynow should give us a run for our money in the opener at 1.45.
At Newcastle Hollins, a winner at Kelso on his last start is my selection in the while Turbo Island will be hard to beat in the 3.15.
They race at Down Royal in Northern Ireland where Hugo de Vindecy has a sound chance in the 2.10.
