Tuesday 15th January

A very disappointing showing from the tips yesterday, BANG ON ran an awful race at Fontwell and at Ffos Llas they seemed to go off at a suicidal pace, which got both Great Tempo and Steel Native out of their "comfort zones" very early and the never figured. The Ground was definitely of the pudding variety, yet the winner, who was stepping up markedly in trip, with no pedigree or P2P indications it would be suited by it, romped home, the only clue possibly, that the Trainer sponsored the race!. SANDFORD CASTLE the Tracker horse in the race, ran noticably well for a long way, faded, yet battled on for 3rd at 10/1, and certainly looks the type to keep a close eye on.
 
There is NH at Lingfield and Newcastle today and AW at Kempton with an Irish meeting too. We have a tip race at Lingfield, a nice ex Point 2 Pointer in the Tracker and a few other bits and pieces on a quiet day.
