Well the last two days have both been profitable ones with a couple of winners from the Sir Mark Prescott stable coming in at surprisingly generous odds.
Some racehorses are more appropriately named than others and one of the current crop I particularly like is Sandy Shaw, who is by Footstepsinthesand out of Susi Wong. You may need to have been around in the 60s to make the necessary connections! Anyway Sandy Shaw is yet to win a race after 7 attempts but her last effort, when runner up at Chester was encouraging and she may be able to break her duck at Bath in the 4.40.
Wooden King has put in a couple of decent runs recently and his trainer does well at Bath. He might be worth an each way interest in the 5.10.
Cape Royal is 10 now and not the force of old but he has a good record at Epsom and could well make the frame in the 6.40.
Dandarrell is no world beater but has shown signs of ability and may be open to some improvement. He looks each way value at around 10/1 in the 8.30 at Doncaster. My other selection at the Yorkshire venue is Molon Labe in the 9.00.
Allannah Abu goes for the hat trick in the 8.10 at Folkestone where she will be ridden by the capable claimer Rosie Jessop who rode the stable’s Aleatricis to victory in 2008 in the same race. She is hard to oppose.
The frustrating Mata Keranjang is perhaps worth one last chance in the 4.30 at Sandown while Harlestone Times can run well at a big price in the 3.55.
