Diary: April 22 2010

Our good run continues with a couple more winners from last night’s preview.

At Fontwell tomorrow Latin America looks to have a lot going for him in the 2.20 and should record his first win of the season after a couple of seconds.

It seems that most of the heroes from the Cheltenham Festival have failed to reproduce their best form since. The latest Festival winner to reappear in Quevaga in the 5.30 at Punchestown. She should win although she will not have the benefit of Ruby Walsh in the saddle this time. Bensalem would be an interesting each way alternative back over hurdles after falling in the William Hill Trophy. Riverside Theatre ran a strange race in the Arkle, absolutely flying home after getting seriously left behind. He may not have been suited by the track at Cheltenham and warrants another chance in the Punchestown 6.40.

Rounding the bend

Wulfreda ran twice last season showing promise on her second outing at Yarmouth. She runs in the 3.00 at Beverley tomorrow where she looks to have a good chance. She is actually bred to appreciate further so if she fails this time I wouldn’t necessarily give up on her.
