1.50 5 Lady In Question @ 7/1 + 4 Storm Ahead @ 7/1 (both 1/2 point e/w) + 14 Zodiakos @ 33/1 (1/4 point each way) - + possible Tricast Perm.


There are already 5 non runners here so best to check what enhanced Odds Sky end up offering. The rest of the Card and fewer non-runners does not indicate a Going concern, more I think horses entered up here as a "back-stop" pulled out for other reasons.

7 Furlongs and a couple of specialists from big Yorkshire Yards in LADY IN QUESTION and STORM AHEAD both ridden by capable Apprentices catch the eye and are favoured over Ladies First, who I think may need better Going. LADY IN QUESTION looks the one to beat and STORM AHEAD gets optimum trip and Going and looked to have been freshened up by Blinkers last time out. If working again should go VERY close. I can't totally ignore ZODIAKOS at the bottom of the market, I feel 33/1 is over generous, steps back in trip and will need a fast pace and likely to get it, conditions ideal and it won off 78 and 82 over a mile last year and back on a mark of 73; less a good 3lbs Claimer up. The other one to note if any of these are non runners was Mango Chutney, but might be in a bit deep in Class 4.

2.20 18 Rhosneigr @ 12/1 (bits of 14) - 1/2 point each way

A lot of unexposed types here and although I have FRAMLEY GARTH (too high in handicap now and KINGS PAVILION (ground may not be soft enough)  in the Tracker, I can't fancy them here. Of the ones at better prices with potential I most like RHOSNEIGR (a lovely wild and windy outcrop on Anglesey); it won well last time, only gets a few pounds penalty, had trouble in running and reportedly hated the undulations. On a flatter track where it can run more freely, could be under-estimated and worth a punt with all Bookies going odds to 4th and Sky to 5th.

I did look at the 4.00 but I think AIRTON (in the Tracker) may need  better summer ground, and if I am ever going to tipANGEL GABRIEL - I probably need to chat to a Doctor first - but I will have a quid on each way; just to scratch the itch!
