Afternoon all, not likely to be much in the way of racing selections over the next week or so as we build up to Cheltenham, preparation for the festival is now well under way and I will post selections everyday.
Fingers crossed for another profitable one.
I will begin sharing thoughts in coming days.
Southwell
14:15 – Hollie Doyle is rightly all the rage after her 5 timer last night at Kempton, what a rider, pop quiz, the last person to ride a 5 timer in Britain, yep, Hollie Doyle at Windsor last year.
Hollie mounts Rock Sound currently 5/4 best price, sure to be fancied up in class but having put up solid speed figures when carrying more weight last time out. However we will go with both Stone Soldier, drawn next to the favourite coming from a high draw, he should be able to set fractions from the off that trouble the favourite, his two performances just before Christmas at the Course when he won both, would be more than enough against this crowd today.
He is a solid each-way play at 5/1
We are also going to have a small play on Tawny Port, backed last time out and given a ride that took him round the car park before the finish, let us hope a better ride from Callum Rodriguez today can see him competitive with him not sitting quite as much off the pace.
TAWNY PORT 20/1 1PT EW
STONE SOLDIER 5/1 2PT EW
Ludlow – nothing of interest today.
I will update P&L tomorrow
