Bank = £5,025

Extremely bust betting day for me, lets hope this lot can boost the bank.

14:30 Lingfield Cristaliyev £250 win 14/1

I’m going to oppose the odds on favourite Dorothy’s dancing as plenty went in her favour when she won lto, race was run in a poor time and for me she doesn’t look like a natural sprinter. The selection has run in better company then he meets today, was unsuited to the trip lto. And didn’t look too appreciate the fibresand after fly jumping the start over 6f at Southwell the time before that. Ran some decent races last year and looked to have to scope to improve.
1st time out at Lingfield today but I think he’ll be well suited by the sharp nature of the track.
Not seen since last Nov but trainer can ready one and should go close in this company.
Race comment:held up in touch, ridden over 1f out, kept on same pace final furlong**4TH

15:15 Newbury Kasban £250 win 11/2

Useful on the flat and warming to his task over Hurdles, Showed a good attitude to win of the back of a break lto when responded well to win by 5 lengths over this trip. Will appreciate the good ground, and should handle the run in. Jockey takes of a useful 7lbs.

Race comment: prominent, led 3rd, headed after 5th, driven and every chance before 3 out, weakened approaching last**5TH

15:50 Newbury Bui Zhu £400 win 9/2

Made a good start 1st time over fences at Fontwell making all to finish 1st over 2m4 despite looking a little green at times. Well thought of by connections he was dropped straight into a competitive handicap over 2m6 here last November finishing 7 ¾ lengths back in 5th to some useful types. Probably given a bit too much to do that day sure to come on for that run and should appreciate the return to a smaller field here today. Dropped 2 lbs, Jumps well and is looks to be improving into a decent staying type. Should go well in this company.

Race comment:led, jumped well throughout, strongly challenged from 4 out, hard ridden 2 out, stayed on gamely under pressure, just held on**WON


16:00 Sedge Sitting Tenant £300 win 5/2

Useful over hurdles then off track after an injury. Took a fall on reappearance lto looked a little out of sorts(forgiven after 446 days off the track) Well bred sort and connections think he’s got big potential, step back today gives him an excellent chance. Trainer has an excellent record here in these events and I’ll take him to put in a bold bid against the like’s of Catch Bob who is a poor jumper and finished well back lto to today’s Odds on favourite Lightning rod(who I believe will struggle to see out this trip)

**Non runner


16:25 Newbury Alcade £400 win 11/2

Scopey sort who should relish the step up in trip today. Showed good speed travelling well to finish 1 length back round here last time out (lost a shoe that day). Was impressed by his attitude in what was a tough handicap debut and think he’ll come on for that run. Shrewd yard reports that he’s been schooling well, also Jockey is currently riding well which can be a big plus in these races.

Race comment:settled in mid-division, headway approaching when not fluent 3 out, stumbled and unseated rider after next


20:15 Wolv £350 win Liberty Lady 6/1

Backed this one lto, ran a good race and today’s step back will suit, this is tougher but looks to be improving and I was pleased enough with her last run so will go in again.

Race comment:in rear, ridden 2f out, stayed on final furlong, nearest finish**4TH

Returns:£2,600

Bank = £6,375
