Todays racing is from Wincanton and Market Rasen over jumps and Southwell, Kempton and Leopardstown on the level.  Trying the Fibresand surface for the first time is lightly raced Just Wait 4.25, she is obviously delicate, but has ability, she probably has Royal Cosmic to beat, to win.  At Wincanton, rain is forecast, currently the ground is good.  It could be a day for the favourites, as long as it does not get too soft. At Kempton this evening, Pentland Lad has been threatening to win a race, he may have found his best chance to do so in the 5.10.  The 6.45 looks an interesting race, Canvassed won well on his debut last year, clearly he has had issues, but the rest of the field look as though they have not been easy to get to the race track.  It’s probably a race to watch closely, as Just Brilliant has a similar profile, he has the best form, he ran in a group 3 on his second start, so is clearly well regarded.

Looking ahead to the weekend, the Aintree meeting starts tomorrow.  This meeting is known for a lot of horses who have won at the Cheltenham festival dipping in form.  Tiger Roll is very short odds to repeat last years stellar performance when winning the Grand National, he is the class horse in the field, but I think I will back something at bigger odds each way. Not too sure yet what!
