Quite a good amount of rain has fallen here in Guernsey.  The rain is forecast to hit a good bit of the UK today.  With the rain in mind, caution is best if having a bet at one of the tracks, or wait to the last minute !

Yarmouth has an interesting Novice Stakes race at 2:20 over 6f.  A couple of recent winners go to post in Marahaba Milliar and Fanaar, both good winners last time, although the former got his win in the stewards room.  He was given a heafty ‘bump’ when beaten into second in a photo finish, on the straight track at Ascot, he clearly deserved to get the race that day.  There are three well bred colts from big yards also in this race, Barys ( Archie Watson) has been heavily backed from 11/1-7/2, so he must of been working well at home.  It will be a good race to watch, hopefully the rain stays away- although Yarmouth could of done with rain yesterday, as there was a fire on the far side of the track during racing.  Thankfully the fire services got it under control, racing was delayed by about 15 minutes before the 6:20 race.
