With racing at Newton Abbot abandoned due to the rain.  Aintree is the jump meeting today.  With also flat meetings at York, Goodwood, Chepstow and Fairyhouse  and Cork in Ireland.  The Friday cards are becoming very much like a smaller version of the ultra competitive Saturday cards.  At Aintree, where it is reported to be soft, good to soft in places(showers).  A few horses engaged who I follow, but they have better form on summer jumping ground, so due to the ‘freakish’ wet conditions, I’m giving them the swerve. At Sandown, Visible Charm 2.35 was fancied on debut when second.  He should come forward for that run, and if he handles the soft ground, he is the one to beat.  At very short odds on ground that he probably has never encountered before- I would rather watch than take the risk ! The same applies to Herculean 3.45, he will likely handle the ground, but 6/4 with top weight in a competitive handicap, is not appealing.

I will try and find something today, a few days where I have not got really involved, due to the heavy rain fall.

More later.
