3.10 Lingfield Grey Blue 4pts win @ 5/1 (Boylesports, Betfred, guaranteed, 9/2 generally guaranteed)
Represents Mark Johnston who is in flying form. Grey Blue made his debut at Epsom and showed up really well for a long way, but he has a pronounced action and I don't think the downhill run suited him. On breeding he ought to act well on polytrack and this weak maiden looks a good piece of placement by his trainer. Was well supported this morning but still appeals as value against a badly priced favourite.
3.30 Kempton Walter White 3pts win @ 10/1 (Boylesports, guaranteed, 9/1 generally guaranteed)
By Dark Angel whose progeny excel on this surface, and the turf to polytrack angle is one which could see this horse improve. His trainer does well here and his horses have run well here since the new surface was laid, which bodes well. Stamina has to be taken on trust but this looks a weak race and any improvement should see him thereabouts.
7.10 Wolverhampton Red Eclipse 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 16/1 (VC Bet, William Hill, guaranteed, 14/1 generally guaranteed)
The layers make this a two horse race but Alan Bailey is a trainer I admire and he has a good record with two year olds here. He won this contest last year with a filly who was sent off 100/1, and he has Red Eclipse entered this evening. She will also avail of a 5lb fillies allowance. I find it interesting she retains a Group 2 entry in the Lowther stakes and that would suggest to me she has been showing up well at home. She made her debut in a top class Newmarket maiden which has worked out very well, and she wasn't disgraced having travelled keenly in rear and making late headway on ground she probably didn't enjoy. She is well drawn tonight and has the excellent Franny Norton on board. I think this is a misprice, I made her around 8/1 in my book and although the Meehan horse looked good on debut, he has only eleven days to come on for that and I'm not a fan of his sire. Red Eclipse is related to some speedy juveniles and six furlongs on polytrack is ideal for her at this stage in her career.
