The big race in France yesterday ended with a photo finish, going the way of Circus Maximus.  My selection Romanised was a nose away in second.  But the biggest question was should Romanised of got the race, he was clearly impeded by the winner inside the last furlong, and with the winning margin being so close, I thought he was certain to get it.  Today has revealed that the connections of Romanised will lodge an appeal, so we shall see what happens.

Rain has fallen over many areas in the UK, watching Sky Sports racing just now, it looks as though Newton Abbot has missed it, and Brighton has missed it as well, although it is overcast and possible showers are forecast.  Perth is good to firm , Listowel is soft, and we have all weather racing at Wolverhampton tonight.  Finding something to back looks pretty tricky, I did think Sandy Steve 3.20 Brighton could defy short odds to win.  The 2.15 looks a good opportunity for Dontaskmeagain to win on debut, it doesn’t look a tough race.  Tony Carroll is the trainer to follow at the Sussex track, he has 8 runners, and could well saddle a winner or two.
