10th June

640 Southwell-For sheer consistency,Mad Professor deserves to win again but it does have a poor strike rate and that has to be a concern although one of those wins was over course and distance.Its very difficult to see it out of the frame in a poor race.

Apache Dawn has won its last 2 and should run well again.Turf Trivia hasnt completed on 3 of its last 4 starts and obviosuly has jumping issues.

Truckers Benefit doesnt have a great record after a break and the trainer is struggling for winners so Crack at Dawn despite being  a 12yo will probably be the other one in the frame.

Back Mad Professor 7pts at 5.0 to win at various bookies and 20pts to place at 1.8(1st 3 at Betfair/Betdaq)-3rd(+9pts)

810 Southwell-By far the most solid option here is Tinseltown,who after some good runs on the flat won well last time.McCoy takes the ride and is 1/1 on the horse,its 2w-1p-8r in fields of 9 or less and is 2w-1p-3r in the month of June.

Baccalaureate won last time but needs to find 8Ibs on my ratings with the selection while Gud Day although having a chance on last seasons form,is 0w-3p-10r in this class of race.

Red Jade looks like it may have completely gone but it is 2w-0p-3r after a break of 80 days or more and gets the cheekpieces for the first time for its in form trainer.If the money comes,it may be worth a saver.

Back Tinseltown 20pts at 3.0(Accept 2.75)-2nd(-20pts)Looked like Tinseltown got outpaced halfway round then stayed on again.Disappointed that Baccalaueate won as that was clearly rated well below the selection.(DT-11pts)
