Newcastle 1.50 - So Darn Hot 7/2. Hate backing faves in big handicaps, but solid course winner, proven in this class, won easy enough lto and claimer takes a chunk of the rise off. Draw fine. Trainer in form. Jockey won enough races here. I had backed Solider Start 16/1 (Antepost, but didn't make the cut, sob sob)
Newcastle 2.25 - Cloud Cover looks such an obvious pick here. Why did it have wind surgery I don't know. Romped lto and 3lb wouldn't stop him following up, but the surgery is bugging me. Cloud Cover is a hold up horse so has the risk traffic. At the flip of a coin odds, going to punt Callianassa 40/1ew. Last time out beaten by maybe a 97 horse by 11 lengths. Doing the maths gives it a rating of 77. Once wasn't going to win was 100% eased off. Previous race over C&D given a shite ride, too far back. The race before this was beaten quite easily in a c2 over C&D by Cloud Cover, but was 13lb out the handicap! Ellison banged in a winner today which is great news. Same jockey as went beaten by Cloud Cover. Let's pop off a decent ew.
Newcastle 3.00 - Valiant Force 7/1ew (Backed this 10/1 Antepost) (our 150/1 Norfolk winner) is a Group horse in a handicap. No idea if will take to the surface but clearly in thriving form. Willing to find out. Storm Star and Roi De France are both massive dangers, but let's hope they get merked by traffic and VF makes all to win to make it 2/3 at the track.
Newcastle 3.35 - Fivethousandtoone 13/2 (Backed this 8/1 Antepost) can win back to backs of this. Was with Balding last year, but Oisin is called back up. Probably should have won last two races and hopefully is bouncing around the same sort of form. Went into overdrive last year when got going. From the draw is always the risk of traffic being a hold up, but most of the pace looks high so something to aim at.
Newcastle 4.07 - Old Harrovian 7/2 (Backed 9/2 Antepost). Absolutely romped home lto and better at the weights than Glen Buck. Balding in rude form.
Newcastle 4.42 - Roaring Legend 3/1 - Likely still pounds in hand and Palmer think would have been competitive in the Dubai World Cup. Won easily over C&D, Probert on again
Lingfield 2.40 - Sterling Knight 12/1ew - Down in class with a decent run over C&D last time. Not sure why such a big price
Lingfield 3.15 - Silkie Wilkie 13/2ew. Was so disappointed with runs in Meydan. Owes me by getting to the front and making all. None from stall 1 - 3 should go forward, so now excuse Went close over C&D in c2 since.
Lingfield 4.50 - Vocal Legend 11/2ew. Well handicapped on formlines and what has shown so far. Hills going well enough.
