Good to get a winner for my subscribers yesterday, Imperium was advised in the morning, he drifted slightly to 3/1 before winning by a head in the 3.50 Lingfield. I think this horse has a lot more to come, especially when he gets on some grass and over further than yesterday’s 12f.

Today’s meeting at Newmarket 3.35 sees the first 3 year old colt “classic” of the year. All eyes will be on last years champion 2 year old Pinatubo. He was exceptional last year, and if he is within a few pounds of his last win at Newmarket in the Dewhurst Stakes, when he had Arizona in second, he will be hard to beat.

I advised my followers to back Arizona each way a few weeks ago, when he was around 12/1 then, so I am hoping he will be bang in the mix. He has a decent draw, and I have heard he has wintered well, and is the choice of stable jockey Ryan Moore. Talking of the draw, I think the majority of jockeys will want to race on the stands side, so stall 13 of 15 is ideal. Wichita who also represents the Ballydoyle team is another I think will run well.

I have been watching plenty of French racing of late, Grand Glory 6.05 Lyon could well be hard to beat, she is around 11/8, and won well last time, and should cope well enough with the soft ground.
