22nd February

430 Sandown-Decent race and a few with chances.Plein Pouvoir will do for many with McCoy riding for an in form yard but my ratings say its better at 2m5 rather than todays 3m.Barlow is progressing and will run well while Imperial Circus(R/H 2w-1p-5r) will fare better this way round but I like the progressive Ringa Bay,top rated and a record over 3miles of 2w-1p-3r.

Back Ringa Bay 7pts at 8.0(Accept 7.6)-UP(-7pts)Poor below par run

220 Sandown-Nozic won well last time but my ratings suggest it has a much tougher task this time and will need to improve again but this horse is 12yo,there cannot be much left surely.I also feel its better on softer ground,on todays good to soft going or faster its has a record of 0w-0p-8r.There are plenty in with a chance,Keki Buku has run well after a big break before and is 3w-2p-7r going right handed,Lord Singer put up a good rating last time while Olympian Boy did the same.The one that interests me the most is Sunny Ledgend,its only had 2 runs over fences but over much further although its top rated on those,if it can handle the drop in trip,it will go close.

Lay Nozic 30pts at 4.0(Lay up to 4.5)-UP(+30pts)

450 Warwick-Upham Atom starts winning in February,every year its the same,so to have it put up a top rated performance on its last run in January,should mean its ready to strike again,I have a slight query about it going left handed but the price is generous enough to allow for that.Flying Award is a pretty consistent horse and looks the main danger.

Back Upham Atom 13pts at 6.0(Accept 4.5)-4th(-13pts)(DT+12pts)
Days total minus commission+11.4pts
