Another normal Saturday of open handicap races.  Haydock ground will ride very soft.  I did have a bit each way on Mekong 1.50,  at 13/2. He is around 2/1 now, so the value in price has shrunk ! He should handle the conditions, hopefully he can win.

In the main race at 4.15  Harry Angel is hot favourite, if he has no mishaps in the stalls, he should be ok on the heavy ground,  5/4 may look large after 50 yards of the race, if all goes smooth.

I try and give followers a value bet in one of the handicap races.  I have had a small each way on Belle Meade 2.45 Ascot at 33/1. It is any horses race, as I see it.  She has gone up in the weights for a 7 L win last time.  She has a low weight, and has a chance of running well, he stables horses are on a massive high.
