27th April

350 Sandown-Bigger field than I usually play in but I really like the chances of Away we go.Its recent 3rd in the Irish Grand National puts it clear top rated.The majority of its form is on soft ground but that may just be because of the Irish weather as its 3 runs on good ground have resulted in 2 wins and 1 unseated rider,it may even improve on its rating on this better ground and Willie Mullins has been winning everything at Punchestown this week.

2nd in the ratings is the very progressive Well Refreshed,however its dodgy jumping will be seriously tested around here and on this quicker ground.

Back Away We Go 6pts at 9.0 at Bet365(Accept 7.0)-3rd(-6pts)Ran really well but lots of little mistakes took their toll before a shuddering one 2 out.

305 Market Rasen-Keeverfield has the best recent form and is 2/3 at this track but looks a vulnerable favourite to me.Its handles good but its best ratings are on soft and its 0w-1p-11r in this class of race.

Autumn Spirit has to prove its stamina and its trainer is in poor form while ItsonlyAlfie has to find a few pounds on my ratings and has a absence to overcome.My Mate Vic has only completed once in 5 chase starts.

This leaves Ardgen,who does have the ratings to win this but im not sure its in any real form to do so despite travelling over from Ireland and Dont Tell Sailor who was in poor form when last seen but the trainers horses are in much better form now and its 3w-0p-7r in fields of 9 or less.

Back Dont Tell Sailor 8pts at 9.5 at BetVictor(Accept 7.6)-Won(+68pts)Got it right again in the market,as it was backed down to 3.0.Despite a bad mistake at the last,it just hung on.(DT+62pts)

445 Market Rasen-So many doubts about its opponents that even though its not quite top rated,I feel that Diamond Frontier will go very close.1w-1p-3r in April,its an excellent 4w-5p-10r in this grade and 2w-2p-6r going Right handed.Its probably better over slightly shorter but on this quick track,it shouldnt be a problem.

Bennys Quest after 29days or more off the track is 0w-2p-14r and just 1w-8p-30r in this grade.

Sergeant Pink although 2/3 here is defintely better over shorter while Or D`oudaires is 0w-1p-13r going Right Handed and 0w-2p-14r in fields of 9 or less.

Back Diamond Frontier 12pts at 4.3-Won(+39.6pts)Traded at 300`s in running! And obviously looked well beat but rallied in great style to end a great day.(DT+101.60pts)
