A good winner yesterday for my subscribers, after 5 days of no advised selections (including a non runner) I did like the  chances of Lord Lamington at Wolverhampton 8.00, he never looked in any real danger, and was a cosy winner at 2/1, so the patience paid off !

Good racing at Lingfield today on the all weather surface.  The lightning fast Kachy runs at 3.05 over 6f.  His only concern looks to be stall 8, it looks pretty straightforward if he gets a good break, he should win.  Encrypted could be the one to maybe try and get competitive, he is around 8/1, so each way with small stakes could be tempting.  The card starts at 1.30, with an open apprentice race, it often pays to back the best or rider who is doing well, a lot of these young jockeys have experience, and have ridden winners.  Gallipoli has been running well, he has course form and has a useful apprentice on top.  At 7/1 he is a bit of value each way.

Bath has its first meeting of the year, with the ground good to firm.  Global Prospector was an easy winner over 6f on debut, he runs in the opener at 1.50.  It looks to be a two horse race on form, the second in the betting The Cruising Lord has really good form from last year, his last run he was 4th in a pattern race over 5f, his current handicap is 98, so although that may be a bit inflated, in receipt of weight today from Global Prospector he has strong claims to give the odds on shot a real race.

Newcastle has all weather racing on the flat, with some competitive races.  I have a few horses I follow running, slight issue is that they are in the same races !

More later.
