Bel Ombre
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+500
Win
250
Bel Ombre looks like the type to improve now in handicaps. He already ran better when stepped up in trip, and a starting mark of 98 seems very winnable.

Gidleigh Park
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+800

-50
Gidleigh Park ran better than the result when second on seasonal reappearance. He was forced to make the running with pacy horses behind him, which ended up being perfect for Jango Baie, who had the run of the race. He's a big horse and the ground has turned a little more in his favour, but ideally he'd probably want it a little softer. I think he'll be helped by this tactical race, with Skelton's Thistle Ask probably just going to go flat out, making it a staying contest. He jumps better than all of these, and he's very brave.

30
Moveit Like Minnie had excuses at Ascot when heavily hampered by a faller, but I thought she finished off well, and the step-up in trip was well worth exploring. I'm not sure what went wrong at Hereford, but you can't blame the distance as she was already under pressure with a circuit to go. Her form suggests she likes good ground, and it was kind of soft, but it was a little too bad to be true. Even on easy conditions here, I'm willing to side with her at a nice each-way price.

Vincenzo
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+162
Win
81
Vincenzo has run two good runs in defeat this season. Panic Attack has gone on to win two more big prizes, while Glengouly was given a perfect ride by Sean Bowen on the day. He's gone up another pound, but this horse sets a high standard which shouldn't be able to be topped by any of these.
14:00 2:00 Haydock
Myretown
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+259
Lose
-50
I've seen a lot of people make cases for different horses in this race. Johnny Who stayed on nicely in a tough handicap at Ascot. Konfusion won impressively, and Sue Smith's runners have been doing amazingly over fences this season. Imperial Saint has been slashed in the market to a price which almost makes you think he's already won the race. I don't really understand why everyone is opposing Myretown, who probably won't get the run of the race here but has shown some incredible form. His win at Cheltenham was beautiful, and I was very surprised when he fell on his seasonal reappearance. I still think this horse has better to come, and I don't understand why everyone is ignoring this runner, so I'll have a shot at him.

In dOr
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+450
Lose
-50
In d'Or ran nicely on his seasonal reappearance in his first start for his new yard. I'd imagine they have targeted this, having won it last season. He had to make up quite some ground from the back in a race that favoured horses near the front. Obvious claims.

Poet Laureate benefited from a change in tactics on ground that suited him better at Wincanton. He won nicely, and similar conditions will suit here. Chris Gordon has had a nice season so far, and this horse seems to be another one that improves with every run.

Take No Chances
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+450

-50
An interesting field of five, with Nemean Lion being a horse you have to oppose here. Even though he won this race last season, I don't think he's been at his best at this track. I thought the fighting five turned out to be quite weak form, with Golden Ace being a very overrated horse. Potters Charm has been rather disappointing this season, but I can see him winning now in calmer waters. I'll be siding with Take No Chances, a mare who showed her best form at this time of the season last year, although that was on better ground. She beat Kargese in good fashion at Ascot, and this season she's been running consistently. She should have a similar winning chance as the likes of Potters Charm, but the price is twice as high, so I'll take a chance with her.

No Questions Asked
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@+350
Win
175
I thought No Questions Asked was going to win in good style back on his reappearance run, but he probably tired out a little in the end, finishing a respectable second to a good horse. He was supported to win on his following start, but I saw Ben Jones mention the run might have come a little too quick for him. That is why I'll give him another chance here. The drop in distance is interesting, as this horse travels well and could benefit from a tactical battle.

Just A Rose won impressively at Taunton before not having her best day at Cheltenham after that. Her seasonal reappearance was good enough, with Cobden not giving her too much to do when she was clearly in need of a run. She carries 10-3 here and could be suited by a step up in distance.

Jubilee Alpha

-50
Jubilee Alpha has been rather disappointing this season after failing to build on an alright reappearance. Nicholls usually wins at Wincanton, but this horse lost after making some costly jumping mistakes. Her run at Cheltenham was rather underwhelming, but she did have to carry a lot of weight, and Harry didn’t do too much on her. The weights tell us she’ll win today, as conditions seem perfect for this runner to bounce back here.

Sonigino made his return after an absence of over 600 days, and I thought it was a better run than the result suggests. He looked competitive with 3 jumps left but got that one completely wrong. He dropped away quickly, but he still showed promise, and I’m sure he’s improved a lot fitness wise with the run. I also like it when horses have their second run after a wind operation, so that’s another positive. Freddie Keighley takes off a handy 7lb, with the nice ground probably being another positive.

Insurrection is making his reappearance here, and he usually goes well fresh. This horse was quite frustrating last season, as he wasn’t capable of building on his promising reappearance, but everything came together at Musselburgh in a similar event like this one last season. I think he’s still on a good mark and should be competitive here, as the trainer has him ready.

I was very hopeful on Twinjets and his chances at Newbury, and couldn’t have been happier with the result. I thought he was very bold and really wanted to win. He’s starting to become the finished article, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this runner is capable of getting competitive at the highest level, especially on good ground, which brings out the best in him.

Inch House

Inch House hasn’t shown much of late, but I thought his seasonal reappearance was promising enough to let him have his excuses for his last run. He got the first wrong in that super-competitive race at Newbury and apparently lost a shoe, which meant he never really traveled. He’s a horse that likes to dictate from the front, which just wasn’t possible with the pace they were going there. There’s one other frontrunner in this race, so I imagine they’ll make a steady pace that will suit this runner. He’s down to a mark of 129, which is 8 lb lower than when he finished a good second in this race two seasons ago on unfavourable ground.
