Tuesday April 27th

A poor start to the week with Parc Des Princes unplaced at Windsor. He absolutely hated the firm ground, which contradicts elements of his form last year, but horses grow and change and I can't wait to see him back on polytrack - he remains worth close interest, and he may very well merit a decent bet at some stage soon.

One small interest on a very average day.

3.00 Lingfield Big Sur, 4pts win @ 7/2 (generally, make sure to get guaranteed)

Ran a really eye catching race last time out as a three year old at a huge price behind some fair horses. The winner franked that form next time out, but it was the way Big Sur looked physically and moved on the polytrack that impressed. He is very well bred and he stood out a mile on looks and physicality. I can't believe the handicapper has allotted a mark of 60 for that run because I reckon he is a bit better than that. He may well drift in the market so I'm taking 7/2 guaranteed instead of the non-guaranteed 4/1 available, and I think he will run a mighty race if he is ready to go, against some poor opposition.
