110 Leicester-This looks a good opportunity for Stow.,who has spent most of its career operating at a higher level than this.Its 1w-1p-2r when dropping down to this grade and with being a horse at its best on soft ground,it should go very close.

Belle De Fontenay is probably the main danger and its very much at home in this grade(Class5 5w-1p-10r)

Woody Waller,Going Wrong and Sublime Talent all come here over hurdles after losing their way over fences.

Back Stow 18pts at 3.25(Accept 3.0)-Won(+40.5pts)By a distance!!!

140 Leicester-The Chaser is no good thing and does have negatives in its profile but it really shouldnt be the price it is here.It came back to life last time for its in form trainer and if backing that up,could outrun its price.

Theres nothing really solid in this and Good Order looks far too short considering it has no great record fresh(80 days+ 0w-1p-3r).Oh Crick is 0w-0p-5r over this trip while Glens Boy returns to the track after 600 days off.

Tafika has a chance on last seasons best but is 0w-1p-7r when returning to the track within 28 days.

Back The Chaser 6pts at 8.5 at Various Bookies-3rd(-6pts)Nicely backed and moved into contention 3 out but just couldnt go with them.(DT+34.5pts)

340 Kempton-I cannot let Tidal Way go unbacked here.All 3 starts this season its put up solid ratings and handled the ground last time.The very inform 3Ib claimer could make the difference for a trainer that had a treble yesterday.

Snake Eyes represents top connections and if it stays strong in the market will probably run well but on what its done so far,it has to improve.

Vibrato Valtat should run well but does tend to place more than win.

Back Tidal Way 3pts at 19.0 at Betvictor-3rd(-3pts)Had every chance 3 out but was one paced.(DT+31.5pts)

Accept 15.0

215 Wetherby-Great little race but the unbeaten Novice Chaser King Of The Wolds should go really well.I really respect this trainer and he never overfaces his horses,so the fact that he drops it back to 2miles,in a race like this may even see it improve.The trainer has had 3 runners in this race in the last 10 years and won with 2 of them.

Majala normally runs well fresh but ran a little below its best first time out but if bringing its best here,should be the main danger.

Wilde Pastures needs to really step up on its seasonal reappearance while im not sure about Pepite Rose after an absence(80days+0w-1p-4r)or on the ground.

Back King of the Wolds 16pts at 3.25-2nd(-16pts)Probably got involved in a battle for the lead and paid for it in the straight.(DT+15.5pts)
