I am aware for a second weekend in a row as to problems with WordPress uploading this. Chasing for answers.
12:40
No Cruise Yet, in what looks like a potential match with Poppa Poutine, is the opening selection, we are backing the older but much lighter horse who warmed up for this a few weeks back with a spin around Carlisle.
Proven over distance and at a good weight to strike today (a stone less than when last out).

13:15 – Findthetime for Nicky Richards and Bryan Hughes, is the selection at Haydock, given a good warm-up at Wetherby and up in class today over the optimum trip. Successful over course last season and over distance at Catterick, the softer ground will be to his liking, Benson is the threat but is not as proven over distance.
7/2 2.5PT ew
1330 – Glimpse of Gala – a good single, but no bet.
1425: Botox Has stands out at a big price, the horse is on an upwards trend for Gary Moore and seems on first read over priced, despite the step up in class.
Successful on return at Ayr over distance and penalised with further weight, the horse carried the same, at Kelso last season in a Class 2, performing with credit when backed into second favourite. Carolin Quinn takes off 7 to neutralise the penalty.

15:35 – Truckers Lodge with Mr Frederick Gingell taking off 10lb is the bet, Paul Nicholls brings him back, the yard in fine form of course, down in class today and with a good chance at a decent price.

1830 – Onto the All-weather to end the day, Diamond Ranger for George Boughey, is overpriced, proven overpriced surface in the summer at the course, when carrying 5lb higher and setting fractions that should trouble the field. The speed shown on turf at Newbury carrying yet further weight, if translates to the track today should be enough to be in the mix. The horse is likely to be ridden prominently and is from stall 1, hence will need to break well and get out.
