230 Lingfield-There has to a slight query about the rating for Richo,after just the 1 run in a novice chase but if it can be trusted(The topspeed figure is solid) then it has an outstanding chance in this weak race.Little Jimmy is probably the main danger  but anything remotely close to its last run would make Richo extremely difficult to beat.

Back Richo 25pts at 4.0 at Paddys-2nd(-25pts)Pulled very hard early and whether that was to blame for it weakening when looking the winner(Traded 1.6 in running) then who knows? Very disappointed!

450 Southwell-Honest Strike ran a stinker last time but even on its better previous run ,ive still got it 5Ibs behind the principals.Goldmadchen is very solid,top rated with a 1st and a 2nd from just 2 runs here while Days of Destiny and The Ducking Stool should also run well.

Lay Honest Strike 30pts at 6.0-Non Runner
