120 Uttoxeter-Ratify does have some negatives in its profile.Its always been a bit in and out and has done most of its racing going right handed but its rating it produced last time is superior to anything its rivals have produced and therefore has to be supported.
That was on just its 2nd start since joing Dai Burchells stable and if it can back up that run then it will go very close.
Stormhoek has only managed 14 runs in its career despite being an 8yo.It returns here after 491 days absence.I doubt it will want for fitness as its such a fragile animal obviously but it does have a career high mark to contend with.
Russe Blanc has been quite progressive of late but needs to take a step forward again while Hollins,despite being consistent,has only won 1 of its 27 jumps races.
Back Ratify 12pts at 4.5 at William Hill/Paddys-2nd(-12pts)Very weak in the market but ran a fine race.Hollins decided to put its best foot forward today unfortunately.

255 Uttoxeter-Quite a lot of dead wood here and it looks a good opportunity for the unexposed What a Good Night.This is a consistent horse that is clear top rated on its last run when falling late on in a better race than this.The winner of that race has gone on to win twice since,so the form looks strong.
It has never raced on very soft ground but encouragingly its sire has a 23% strrike rate on heavy ground,so hopefully there should be no concerns on that score and its trainer has had 3 winners from his last 11 runners.
Dark Glacier is very inconsistent but if on a going day,is probably the main danger.
Rocky Bender hasnt had that many runs for Venetia Williams but needs to find lots of improvement while Black is Beautiful may improve for its chasing debut.
Back What A Good Night 15pts at 4.3 at Paddys-PU(-15pts)Dont know why but ran no race at all.Another Poor Day!(DT-27pts)
