Today has two meetings over jumps and two on the all weather surface on the level.  Fields are quite small at Fontwell and Wetherby, it is the time of year when a large number of National Hunt horses go for some spring grass, and the spring/ summer jumpers re-appear.  Flowery 3.55 Wetherby jumped well and won in good style at Sedgefield last time, his first try over the bigger obstacles, he has gone up in the weights, but if he acts at the change of track, he could well win again.  At Newcastle this evening, it has competitive racing, the 7.00 is a fillies Novice Stakes, Maid For Life ran a good second on  debut last year, its tough taking on older horses at this time of year, the elder Astonished is a winner,  and has a penalty for that, it will be hard to concede a lot of weight, she has 10.5 lbs to carry! Probably a race to watch, as Robotique Dancer is a well bred unraced filly, who could be smart.  The 2.00 Lingfield could give young Cieran Fallon a good chance of riding another winner on Golden Guest, bit of value each way at around 5/1.

More later.
