Most of the racing today is going to be on soft ground, it will be very soft at Haydock where the majority of races have small fields.

Todays Free tips are as follows:

Horse: Jonniesofa

Time: 12:25 Haydock

Current Odds: Evens

Only three runners for this chase.  My selection won at Carlisle, which was his first run back from a lay off, he jumped well that day and should be ok on the ground and step up in trip. He should be able to defy his penalty, Of rivals Lastbutnotleast has a mares weight allowance and is dangerous on her best form, her biggest problem is she burst a blood vessel last time, so with that issue to overcome I’m not keen on her.  Probably my selection can make all the running and keep going to win.

Horse: Kilbricken Storm

Time: 3:00 Newbury

Current Odds: 3/1

A shade of value in price I think sways me to fancy this horse.  He has won over further than today’s trip, so in what will be a stamina test, I think he can win again. He looks progressive and beat a horse I backed last time, when looking only second best at the last.Of rivals, Poetic Rhythm has been running well, he was a good third to useful rivals last time and has a good chance, Way Back Then has done little wrong as well, he won ok last time, possibly had the luck as the second at Kempton would of been more competitive if not making a mistake two from home. Dame Rose has done little wrong as well, she is genuine and gets a mares allowance. My selection has eased in price , possibly because the stable has not had a winner for about 14 days or more, so the stable is not exactly flying at present.

Air Navigator  3:20 Haydock is a good thing for any short odds backers. Also is one to put in doubles as well as trebles with my selections.  He looks a good horse, and should win well.
