Fontwell Park
3.30 Mirific has claims running for the first time in a handicap.
Huntingdon
2.10 Turbo du Ranch was second at Plumpton last month and gave the impression that this longer trip could bring out further improvement.
3.10 Benny be Good has run well without winning on his last 3 starts. Oscargo is highly rated but unseated when hot favourite at Cheltenham on New Year’s Day. Rose of the Moon is one to consider at a bigger price. There is not a lot to choose between this trio and there is the temptation to go for the bigger price of Rose of the Moon who sports first time blinkers. I like Benny be Good though who has a taking attitude and he gets the selection.
3.40 It is hard to fancy Somewhatinevitable based purely on form but his trainer thinks a lot of him and he may well be better than his form figures suggest.
Turf Trivia
St Athan’s Lad won 14 races during his career in the 1990s. The first 13 of these came at Fontwell but just to vary things a bit he then won at Newton Abbot!
