Some decent cards today.  6 meetings including Ireland races at Naas.  At Wolverhampton Mokammal 4.35 can keep up the good form of the Sir Michael Stoute, his horses are in really rude health.  At Southwell in the 3.10 race, it looks a hot Novice stakes over 1 mile. The way Revamp ran on debut, he could be each way value at 7/1, obviously its his first try on the fibresand, so not totally sure he will handle the surface.  Native Silver is a winner at the track, he has drifted to around 6/1, he won quite well on debut, both have good chances each way.

I was taken by Waldgeist winning the Prix Ganay at Longchamp yesterday.  Although I do think Ghaiyyath (who I strongly fancied) ran a bit flat, he won ‘pulling a cart’ on his first run this year, he only beat Soliel Marin (4th ) by the same margin yesterday, when all out, plus he should of improved for his first run of the year, Soleil Marin was having his third run the last time they met ! I am putting a line through his run, he is still a horse to watch closely in Group 1 races, he may step up to 12f, which may suit him better.

Looking forward, some good racing midweek.  And the first Group 1 races for three year olds on Saturday and Sunday, its a good time of year, as the 2000 Guineas is always a guide to the Epsom Derby in June.
