With the recent cold snap taking its toll on a few scheduled race meetings today, I have looked at Cagnes Sur Mer in France. in the 10.50 race Swing For Me has solid claims, he was given a fair bit to do last time, and with only 5 runners here, he will be closer to the pace, he is a tad keen, so i would think Demuro will try to get a bit of cover if possible, and close late. His likely main threat is Hoxton, who has solid form, she ran a decent second on the all weather surface last time at Lyon La Soie, although its a big drop in trip today, so preference is for Swing For Me.
More soon.

Very testing going at the moment, with lots of rain around. Plumpton has an inspection at 8.30 am to see if they can go ahead with the racing.
At Wolverhampton, where racing should have no problems because of rain, I do like Cicely in the 1.40, she has put in two good runs since being acquired at the October sales by her trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy and her improved run last time was possibly because of the cheek pieces first time, so with a 5lb rise she will be hard to beat again. She is around 11/8.
City Escape is a lot better off at the weights with Cicely today, so could be worth a few quid each way as well at around 11/2 generally.
More later.
