Hi all,
Frustrating one yesterday as The King Writ looked the most likely winner coming to two out in the Somerset National. All the more galling that it was the old boy Dawson City who did him. The place part of the bet was landed but it could have been so much better.
Call me shocked but it looks like we might race at Haydock tomorrow, albeit the course has to pass a 8am precautionary inspection.
Not much to go at today
Chelmsford
6:15 – Just the six go to post for this 5f Class 2 handicap. However, you can make some sort of case for all of them.
Tone The Barone 3-3 over C&D ended last season looking progressive sprinter when winning over the minimum trip at Ascot, back in September. Capable of more improvement this year and although 5-year-old returns from a 139-day absence, he’s 3-3 when racing after a 100+day break. A shade vulnerable in a slowly run race but he’s the right favourite.
Leodis Dream hails from the inform David Loughnane yard (4-17 24% in the past 14-days). The 5-year-old has yet to win since joining his present yard last year but has run some respectable races and has dropped down to a good mark. Last win came when making all over C&D in September 2019 off 12lb higher. Despite stall six he could get the run of the race here.
1pt win – Leodis Dream – 5/1 @ Coral & Ladbrokes
My aim is to get Saturday’s preview to you by 9pm this evening.
Cheers
John
