Interesting one here is PLEASANT MAN. This will be his second run for this stable. Entitled to have needed the run last month after a 7-month layoff. Interesting steps back up in trip (stays further on flat; he's a winner over 2 miles plus over hurdles). Usual headgear is dispensed with. He's a couple of points bigger than I envisaged for a yard that had 1 winner and 4 placed finishes from their last 9 runners (before Forever Noah's run this evening). Versatile won coming off the pace he's even led. Pound above last winning mark was once rated in the low 100s in a wide open affair could well figure

Joey Ramsden is new to these shores as a trainer. If he's got an ounce of ability as Jack and Linda, he's a yard to follow. Had success in South Africa. I've a final interest as I got this one doubled with a 22/1 winner today from the yard. As a 3-year-old, he had some useful placed form for Roger Varian since leaving that yard on the back of a poor Wolverhampton run last time, less 3k guineas. Sports a first-time tongue tie and had been given a chance by the handicapper. He's made the running before and also come from off the pace.

Been given this as a tip one to follow at the beginning of the season. Digging into her form. It's interesting to see money come for her once markets opened. Remarkably consistent mare with twenty starts to her name, winning 5 and being placed in 5. She was, as expected, outclassed when running in the Welsh Champion Hurdle. Prior, she was outclassed in the Ryanair Mares' Hurdle at the festival. Her run last time obviously needed after a lengthy layoff, reflected in her price. She's down in class today, and it was around this time last season she gained 3 wins and a third from 4 runs. The handicapper kindly dropped her two pounds following the Chepstow run. Barring two runs, the remaining 18, Isobel has ridden her. She improved enormously last term it might be handicapper caught up with her. But at 16/1 4 places up for grabs looks decent each bet. ( I'm on at 20/1 ) slightly bigger one shops around.

There's not much to this filly; she's tiny. One can forgive her last run when upped to 7 furlongs. She was never travelling, according to Harry Davies. The trip was all wrong for her. Prior, 5-1-2-3 were her form figures. In her race at Doncaster, she appeared to be drawn on the wrong side and was going nowhere until Luke Morris got serious with her. She stayed on strongly for one so inexperienced. It caught my eye the way she was prepared to go between horses, considering where she came from, and she did extremely well. This is her first try on AW, which I find interesting as there were a number of turf entries she could have taken up. A repeat of that run or the close second at Ripon (seemed to wander watching the race back) would give her strong claims in this. This is her trip, I feel, and connections reach for first-time blinkers. There's nothing of her, but she's a battler and gives her all from what I've seen. AW is an unknown variable, but on breeding, it shouldn't be an issue. She's 4 points bigger than I envisaged.
