,Hopefully followers backed Alsvinder 7.30 Newcastle last night, he drifted to 5/4, but made no mistake in making all the running and staying on well.

Todays racing is as competitive as ever, for a Saturday.  It will be good if Noel Fehily can go out with a winner on his last day riding.  He is retiring after a great career.

At Kelso it is really good prize money.  The first race at 1.50 has on,y four runners.  I did think My Old Gold would be the one to beat, she has ran well at the track before. Worthy Farm 3.35 is very honest, he has a good chance of winning again under claimer Lorcan Williams.  At Newbury the races are open, The Knot Is Tied At 8/1 has decent each way claims in a very open handicap at 2.40.  Tigeralley was a good winner last time, she has a good chance of following up in the 2.15 Bangor-On-Dee.

More later.
