It will be a slog at both jump meetings today.  Going described as heavy at both Wetherby and Leicester, if they both race !

I am not always keen on betting on ground that is very soft, horses that win usually cope with it better than the others, I am not totally convinced horses like it when it is very soft, and becomes a real slog.

Looking at the card at Wetherby, Solo Saxophone 1.10 could well win again, but even money on the ground is narrow, he scrambled home last time, and this son of the great Frankel will need to jump better today to win, as he takes on previous winners. So I am not advising a bet today, Southwell looks trappy, more tomorrow.
