1st March

205 Newbury-Brackloon High looks ready to win again after posting some consistent efforts,since being switched to hurdles.
This is a drop in grade after running really well last time.Its fine on the ground and stays this trip well.
A record of 5w-1p-13r in fields of 9 and less plus Richard Johnson is booked to ride(6 wins from 28 rides for the yard).It must run well.
Who Owns Me has a good profile...4w-0p-9r in fields of 9 or less....3w-0p-8r when returning to the track within 28 days and 3w-0p-9r on heavy ground.
It should go well but needs to find a few pounds on its latest win to match Brackloon High.
Georgian King although not proven on the ground ran well last time to be given a squeak while the booking of McCoy for Lawney Hill(4 wins from 9 for the yard) catches the eye.
On what its done so far,its got a fair to find but does run better aorund this time of year.
Back Brackloon High 14pts at 3.75 at Betvictor/Paddy-3rd(-14pts)Looked certain to win between the last 2 hurdles(Touched 1.15 in running) but curled up on the run in.
(accept 3.5)

350 Newbury-This isnt the strongest Grade 3 theres ever been and could be a good opportunity for Shangani to get back to winning ways.
This horse is clear top rated on its latest run,loves heavy ground(3w-1p-8r),is 2 w-2p-9r in fields of 9 or less and has a record 3w-1p-9r when returning to the track within 28 days.
This is its time of year as a record of 3w-2p-7r in February and March shows.It should be a strong favourite.
Dashing George won last time but that was at Fakenham.A track where form is rarely reliable elsewhere.It does like this ground(Heavy 5w-2p-16r) but has never won past the month of February in a normal jumps season.
The combination of Fehily and Nicholls is pretty formidable as a record of 21 wins from 61 starts shows.However,Ulck Du Lin is going to have to step up a lot on what its been showing to take this.
Elenika runs plenty of good races but just cant seem to win and is 0w-1p-7r going left handed.
Rebel Rebellion gets some different headgear and is 2 from 2 in March but needs to find more.
Back Shangani 12pts at 5.5 at bet365-Won(+54pts)Nicely backed and under a vintage Tom Scudamore ride,stayed on strongly to win near the finish.(DT+40pts)
Running Total+6155.52pts
