Hopefully some of my followers backed Sea The Sea at Bangor yesterday.  She was a clear winner by 9 lengths, as I mentioned yesterday, the tight track suits horses ridden forward, good jockeys can steal a length or two from the front, and the Mcain trained mare really wants to win.

Looking at today’s cards, at Yarmouth the maiden for 2 year old fillies at 5.25 looks like a decent  standard.  The front two in the betting market,  Amber Island and Festive Star ran really good debuts, that was at Newmarket in the same race.  Having finished so close together that day, looking at how they figure in the betting today, I think I would rather play the odds against on Festive Star than her rival, although she has to reverse previous form.

The ground at the Norfolk track should be almost perfect again  today.  It seems to have missed a lot of the rain, which has hit many parts of the UK over the last few days.

Good racing over the rest of the week, with the York meeting starting tomorrow.  The Ebor Handicap on Saturday is very competitive, with fantastic prize money on offer, it will take a horse with Listed/group class form to win.  Raheen House from the William Haggas yard has been running well this year, he is a horse with a bit of class, and has run well at the track previously.  He could have a decent each way chance.  He will need a bit of luck in running, as he tends to like to come from off the pace.
