Watching a good bit of racing today. The ride of Aiden Murphy on Duke Of Rockingham was very average in the 1: 45 Lingfield. He stayed on strongly from the final flight to be second, given a lot to do by Coleman.

A very similar ride by Connar Brace in the 2.47 race, he must of thought his mount was going to sprout wings in the straight, as he gave Speech Bubble an impossible task, I have absolutely no idea what was going through his mind after jumping the fourth hurdle, only Connar does, as he kept taking a ”pull” on the mare, when the leaders were clearly poaching a lead, of which he should of been aware, the mare ran on well from the last flight, and I believe would of won if ridden forward mid way through the race, and a bit more thought from her rider. I do think both horses are worth following, as both are winners without a penalty.

I do like the look of Saleymm 4:35 Wolverhampton, he should win again under James Doyle.

More soon.
