A good winner for my subscribers yesterday at Yarmouth 7.30. I advised backing Man Of Promise, who drifted to 6/4 from very early odds of 4/6 yesterday morning, the drift was due to the rain, but it did not stop him getting the better of a close finish with Cold Front, who clearly likes ground with a bit of ease in it, the winner is not over big, but he has one thing, plenty of courage.

Lots of rain around, so a bit of caution in betting today, unless you know your horse likes ground with some ease in it. Plenty of racing to go at, with a fairly early start at 12.00 on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton, Hot Scoop will try to get punters off to a good start under Silvestre De Sousa. He ran well on debut last week, although no match for an easy winner that day, it was a run with promise, he is well drawn today, and should be good enough, although a few unraced newcomers could be useful, so watching the betting for clues is priority.

At Newbury this evening in the final race at 9.00, I thought Tuscan Gaze was a bit over priced at 9/2, as he won well last year on debut, and his breeding and size of him leads you to think that all he can do is improve for having just the one run last season, so he is interesting.

Big day in Ireland at the Curragh, with the Irish 2,000 Guineas at 6.40. Finding the one to back is tough, I am watching this race, as I believe it is wide open.
