Tuesday 27th August

A nice win from the ell backed Valkyrian at Chepstow yesterday for the in form Advisor, in hindsight Sean would probably have stuck with just his very confident assessment that I Am Rocco was far away the best bet at Ballinrobe to optimise an excellent 25/1 SP runner up effort. No joy at Ripon though where the market got the pace horses right on this occasion.
 
There are smallish fields on the Flta Turf today at Musselburgh and Ripon, an AW Card at Lingfield and NH at Stratford with Flat Racing too at Bellewstown. It's not often that Stratford has 16 runner Handicaps, so we'll attack the Handicap Hurdle race there at 4.22, and we'll also attack the closing long distance Flat race on the Bellewstown Card at 7.45.
