I’ll start tonight with a look back at the racing over the past week.
Saturday May 18
Cape Peron justified favouritism at Goodwood in the 1 mile handicap. The winner was most impressive and looks one to follow for trainer Henry Candy.
Sunday May 19
The one that caught my eye at Ripon was Tinghir in the 9 furlong maiden. He kept on well to score at the third attempt. He should stay further and will be interesting in handicaps.
Monday May 20
At the evening meeting at Leicester Plutocracy was a winning favourite for David Lanigan. The winner defied a 5 lbs penalty and looks to have further improvement in him.
At Redcar Alcaeus won on his handicap debut and looks a typical improver from his yard.
Tuesday May 21
Kikonga overturned an odds favourite at Nottingham. The winner is lightly raced and should be suited by 12 furlongs.
Thursday May 23
Mark Johnston scored at Goodwood with King of the Danes, a likable sort that could well win again.
At Haydock the Henry Cecil trained Continuum won the 12 furlong maiden despite giving plenty of weight to the rest of the field. Staying at Haydock Homage won the 7 furlong handicap for Jeremy Noseda and is another that could progress, possibly over a bit further.
At Sandown Wind Fire won the 2 year old maiden and looks one for the note book. Later on the same card Sea Shanty completed a hat trick and is probably following until he loses. Another Sandown winner worth following is Mutashaded for Roger Varian.
Saturday May 25
Arch Villain clearly likes the track at Goodwood and looks one to follow, particularly at the Sussex course. Another Godwood winner to follow was You Da One.
At Haydock Swiss Spirit the runner up in the Temple Stakes caught the eye.
So Beloved won the 7 furlong 3 year old handicap despite not finding the firm ground to his liking.
Pintura won the opener at York and there may be another race in him, especially on soft ground.
Monday May 27
Equity Risk won a competitive race at Leicester and there may be more to come from him.
