23rd February

 320 Wetherby-Everything points to a big run from Eceparti here.

Its gradually edging down the weights,it won on its only start over course and distance(posting a carrer best rating),soft ground is fine and the trainer has a 33% strike rate here.

Cybalko races under a penalty and off a career high mark,its had a fine season and isnt discounted but this trip is also a little further than it prefers and it looks vulnerable.

Manetti looks up against it on my ratings while Caboy ran well last time but is inconsistent.

Back Eceparti 14pts at 3.5 at Various Bookies-4th(_14pts)Really underwhelming performance.

215 Wetherby-Snougar is handicapped to win now and returns to a track where it won on its only other chase start here.

Its 2w-0p-4r in Feb and March and if it can run close to its previous visit here then its a big runner.

Im not sure I trust Relkadam and certainly not as favourite,its 0w-1p-6r in this class and finished 15 lengths behind the selection on its only run here.

Rollerruler is 0 from 12 in its career and moves up in grade,the horse that beat it last time has done nothing for the form.

I did keep looking at Las Tunas as its 2/2 here and this is its trip but its record after a break is poor(61 days + 0w-0p-6r),if the money comes then I would be wary of it.

Back Snougar 7pts at 6.5 at Skybet/Bet365-2nd(-7pts)Ran well but Relkadam hosed up.

440 Newcastle-Theres no doubt Caribeno is a tough opponent here but it is up in the weights and moves up 2 grades plus its got more distance to cover.It may well suit but on a track its never raced on and where its stallion has just a 3% strike rate,we may be able to get the odds on shot beat.

Manjaam is greatly respected as its 3/3 here but at the prices I just prefer Busy Street.

This horse is nicely handicapped on the flat and has been in fine form in jumpers bumpers,over this course and distance,since it joined this in form trainer.

Its the only horse to have won in this grade and has the ratings to take this.

Back Busy Street 6pts at 7.0 at Various Bookies-3rd(-6pts)They strolled round but it came to win the race(Touched 1.6 in running) but flattened out.(DT-27pts)
