18th March

515 Exeter-Crookstown was a winner for us last time and I see no reason not to support it again.It clearly wants a distance around this trip(2m3 to 2m5 3 wins from 4 starts) and wants to go this way round(Right handed 3 wins from 4 starts).

Its clear on ratings and speed figures and Kielan Woods is 3 from 8 for this yard.It should be closer to the even money mark in my view.

Generous Ransom and Silent Knight both make their handicap debuts,so it will be interesting what way they go in the market while Revani makes its debut for Johnny Farrelly,whos had a couple of well supported winners recently.

They all need to improve however to match Crookstown.

Back Crookstown 20pts at 3.0 at various bookies-2nd(-20pts)Poor hurdling in the straight cost this horse the race.Particularly 2 out when its was on the bridle but nearly knocked the hurdle out of the ground.

455 Wetherby-There are doubts about Everaard,its 0-w-0p-4r in March and hasnt got its regular rider on but im very surprised by its price.

Its latest victory puts it top of my ratings and its probably a better horse on this faster ground.This is also a drop on class and although im no big fan of James Reveley as a jockey,providing it can back up its latest run then it really should go close.Its the clear value in the race.

Its possible Saints and Sinners could improve for the step up to 3 miles,if it does then its probably the main danger.

Fiddlers Reel has chances but is 0w-2p-6r going left handed while Harris Hawk may be a better horse at shorter.

Back Everaard 7pts at 7.5 at bet365(Accept5.5)-2nd(-7pts)Really well backed all morning but never travelling at any stage but kept going and looked like it had good chances 2 out but Reveley is unlikely to outride Ryan Mania in a finish.Very frustrating day!(DT-27pts)
