A frustrating day at Sedgefield with a non runner in the first tip race, won by the 3rd rated (Jaramillo) and where the long priced Moonlight Glory ran very well for a long way and just beaten by faster finisher on the final climb, he'll be one to keep an eye on. In the other tip race we had 2 non runners, and I'm yet to fathom whether a glut of non runners was due to the ground being too firm, or too soft. Over in Ireland a decent enough run from Plains iNdian to finish third.

 

There are decent Cards at Listowel and Newcastle and at Warwick where we looked at the opening race before deciding the top pair in the market look by far the most likely winners. We'll focus instead on a couple of Divisions of a Handicap Hurdle at Fontwell and very much an end of season type Flat Handicap at Beverley.
