It seems some of you have not received today's mail, so this is a full rewrite because the original has vanished into the ether!
Firstly, we were unlucky yesterday, Scamperdale was sent off over 30/1 on betfair, trading 1.25 or 1/4 inside the final furlong before being collared close home.
Two for today.
4.15 Newbury Arcano 5pts win @ 11/4 (Generally, get guaranteed)
I can't have a horse who shows as much speed as Canford Cliffs over seven furlongs alongside a horse who has already beaten him over six furlongs, who is bound to improve for the step up in trip. The hype machine is out in force again and the word is Canford is working the house down and Arcano will need the run, but I'm not listening to it. Both horses are being prepared for their big day at the 2,000 guineas, both will come on for the run in my view. Arcano looks top class to me and is the more natural 7f/8f horse. Excellent value.
6.50 Doncaster Embsay Crag 2pts each-way @ 12/1 (Totesport, guaranteed) E/W 2nd
Embsay Crag ran 8lb above his mark over course and distance last time out, and has only been put up 1lb by the handicapper for today. The excellent Ian Brennan takes over from Paul Mulrennan and claims an additional 5lb. I'm hoping Thunderstruck puts a good pace to the race, allowing the selection to get into it from the back of the field late on. Excellent each-way value.
