Another fantastic day yesterday with Leading Edge winning at 12/1, our only bet. I thought it was an inspired ride from Chris Catlin and it leaves us well in profit for the week again.
Three interests today on a magnificent day's racing, and I might add that I think Denman will win the Hennessy but the price is about right.
The Balding stable did us a big favour with Pittodrie Star last Saturday and they send Jokers Wild to contest the 6f maiden at Lingfield this afternoon (12.35). The selection doesn't look the best bred horse I've seen on the dams side, but he is by Compton Place, is a January foal, and is basically bred to make a 2yo sprinter on his sires side at least. He pulled the arms off Liam Keniry in a 7f maiden at Kempton on his debut, and he looks a really strongly built type of horse. I find it interesting he is stepped back to sprinting today, and it is well known that Andrew Balding's 2yos generally come on for their first run. He eventually finished last on his debut but he showed real promise to my eyes, and at 33/1 in an average maiden I think he is a monster price.
Duc Du Regniere tends to do well this time of year and I just fancy he could upset Big Bucks today. Nicky Henderson has his team in fine form and it doesn't take a genius to see that his horses first time out are a danger to all.
Toby Jug was impressive at Cheltenham last time out to my mind, he jumped like a stag on ground that did not suit and I think it is interesting Tony McCoy takes the ride today - the horses was given a fairly easy time of it at Cheltenham and I don't think his good jumping was made use of.
We will have no bets at Wolves tonight, but in the 9.20 I thought Miss Taken and Taeping were interesting. No harm to dutch the pair for those inclined to have an evening bet, but I have settled on the above three as our bets for the day.
No bets tomorrow, for those of you who have just joined up, we generally take Sundays off.
Best Recommendation:
12.35 Lingfield Jokers Wild, 2pts each-way @ 40/1 (Paddy Power, guaranteed, 33/1 guaranteed generally - bigger available on betfair)
1.35 Newbury Duc Du Regniere, 4pts win @ 7/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
3.25 Newbury Toby Jug 3pts win @ 8/1
Denman won
