Lots of meetings today.  I am going racing, Guernsey has one meeting a year, so going to the races here.  I learned last night that at one time 3 meetings a year took place, but over the last 5 years or more it has been reduced to only 1.  The fields are small, but it’s dry here and the sun is out, so should be a bit of fun !

Todays card’s in the UK are competitive. The first race at Beverley at 1.55 is a two year old maiden.   Short odds backers could be tempted by Dylan De Vega, he was second on his first run, it was a good effort, but I don’t think this horse is totally straightforward, so I would rather back Azteca each way at 5/1.  She was in front a stride past the line at this track last time, after missing the break, she is well drawn, and has experience.

At Kempton the ground will be on the quick side.  The 2.55 is between the first two in the betting.  Both will like the quick underfoot conditions, I have a slight preference for No Hidden Charges over Fontley House,  a safe option is a reverse forecast.  Tommy Silver 3.30 will like the ground, a course winner and is genuine, he should win again.
