A fair few jockeys and trainers out today that have a pretty good record at specific courses:
Gosden 35% at Newcastle (34-98) and interesting he’s sending one there today in the 3pm with Havlin on board (39% for him here) which is a bit scary as he’s had some shockers recently. Happy to ignore that as there are others in that race mentioned below that would scare me. He’s also sending two to Nottingham and Oisin booked on Runman (2.20) who looks best chance. Has a stone more to carry though than the favourite Adamlyi, which is Haggas’ only horse out today. Not sure there’s a need to get involved there, especially with Elmalka’s brother Moreedd who could improve massively since debut
Bethell 31% at Nottingham (12-39) and he’s sending on there today (3.20) and Stepanov come be such a plotjob down to a C6 on handicap debut. I think it might be you know and may get involved in a small each way multi at 4/1. Yard also sending one to Newcastle (4.35) that maybe interests me even more. Fitness on side with recent run and off the same mark and 5/1 is worth a go
Balding 28% at Newcastle (53-190) and he’s sending two there today over 3000miles, where Littlecote (3.00) looks his best chance but I’m not sure odds on for a horse that has been beaten 4 times is worth it. Danseuse could be a better shout. Jack Mitchell is 29% at Newcastle for the Crisfords and they’re sending her nearly 250m today for debut and is Jacks only ride. Could be keen to have a go. Balding does have a debutant in the next (3.30) and Lehbab Prince was the most expensive of these but I’m not sure I want to get involved I won’t lie
Charlton 25% at Lingfield (7-28) and he’s sending on there today (4.10) where Thanos is knocking on the door but has been beaten in to second three times in handicaps and I feel he may do again today. Based is Fallon’s only ride of the day and looked good towards the end on handicap debut and reappearance 3 weeks ago… and could come on a lot from that. Switch to turf today and could make a mockery of this mark at 11/4
Cunha 24% at Nottingham (8-34) but the one he’s sending to Lingfield (2.10) that is more interesting. Hengest won on handicap debut and step up in trip looks to suit and odds on for a reason
Ed Walker 23% at Nottingham (11-48) and he’s sending 2 there today (3.50 and 4.20) where Shoemark is booked for both. I think both have a great chance you know. Capichera looks the winner to me with those form lines, coming 2nd to So Regal on reappearance. Could come on loads from that and take this C4 comfortably. Ziata in the next looks the play to me too at 5/1 on handicap debut with 4 places on offer.
PLJ is 38% at Nottingham when riding for Eustace and they are teaming up for two today where Bay Royale (2.50) looks their best chance. C&D winner and looks good for a muggy multi IMO
