Difficult cards today. Insomnia 12.35 Lingfield would be my pick in the handicap over 1 mile. He ran on well last time over 7f, a decent 3rd, on his first run off a break. He will stay the extra furlong, and his stables horses are running well at the moment, so he has a solid chance.

At Kempton this evening, Tranquil Night 6.00 has been well backed, he ran quite an encouraging race on his debut when 4th, with that experience he can be sharper than his two likely main threats, Naranco and Montressco, and should win. Famille Rose 6.30 was unlucky last time when 3rd at the track, and can make amends here over the 7f.

More soon.

Looking at today’s card at Doncaster, City Cheif 1:05 will be hard to beat. He was strong at the finish last time, he hit a flat spot that day, if ridden more aggressively today he should be too good for his rivals.

It could be a could day to follow the Henderson horses at Doncaster, as he has two other horses with solid chances. Russian Ruler 2:15 and later Hurricane Le Dun in the bumper at 3:50 is supposed to be useful.

More soon.
