19th February

240 Wetherby-This looks a good opportunity for the unexposed Forty Crown as it steps into handicap company for the first time.Its steadily progressing and should be too good for these.Agglestone Rock is the danger for me but isnt proven over the trip.Delightfully got a decent rating last time but is 0wins-3places-22runs in this class of race.

Back Forty Crown 15pts at 3.35-Won(35.25pts)

315 Wetherby-Difficult to see past No Secrets or Good Order here,the latter in particular should go well while Douglas Julian,if on a going day,has got the ratings to take a hand.It has a strong profile(0-9 runners) 6w-0p-9r (February) 1w-0p-2r (Soft Ground) 2w-0p-4r.See U Bob has got a few pounds to find on my ratings and is also a pretty inconsistent horse,add in the record of 0w-5p-13r in fields of less than 9 runners and it looks very vulnerable.

Lay See U Bob 30pts at 5.5-2nd(+30pts)

425 Wetherby-Jack the Gent and Wilde Pastures look set to fight out the finish of this but I have them as joint favs and have to support the latter with such a discrepancy in the prices.Jack the Gents win record of 1/17 isnt great either and with Wilde Pastures only having had 3 runs over fences,it looks a strong opponent.Noble Legend was progressing well until a shocker last time but is back down in trip and has to improve for it to trouble the main two.

Back Wilde Pastures 14pts at 4.0 at Paddy Power(Accept 3.85)-Won(+42pts)(DT+107.25pts)
