Saturday 8th September 2012

A nice return from our each-way double yesterday, a pity Pea Shooter didn't hang on to win.

Two for today.

2.15 Haydock Lexi's Hero 1pt each-way AND 2pts win @ 14/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)

Another from Kevin Ryan's stable. Lexi's Hero now looks well handicapped off OR90 following a disappointing season. Many of his poor runs can be excused for various reasons, and for one I expect the return of his regular cheekpieces to have a positive effect today. His run in the Stewards Cup in cheekpieces was promising, and with a decent draw, and an in form handler and jockey, I think he looks too big at the prices today.

3.25 Haydock Majestic Myles 1pt each-way AND 1pt win @ 40/1 (Paddy Power, 4 places guaranteed, or take 50/1 generally guaranteed)

Richard Fahey probably intended on Mayson being his number one here, but as things have transpired it is Majestic Myles who lines up. I think he is twice the price he should be, and although that still makes him a 20/1 shot, there are reasons to believe he can make the grade as a top sprinter. Some of his form opver seven furlongs looks very strong, his July win at Chester was extremely impressive. He was two lengths behind Strong Suit last time, but that was a messy race and he was also bumped at the start. I have long thought the selection was worth his chance over a strongly run six furlongs, he gets that chance today and at the prices he should be supported.
