5.50 Wolverhampton Annaluna 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 12/1 (Stan James, Betpack.com, 11/1 Generally Guaranteed)
I made a note to take on Italian Riviera next time out, wasn't overly impressed with him at Southwell. Blue Zealot may have lost her form and I'm loathe to back her after a poor run last time out. Entitlement is also risky, she weakened very quickly last time and may not be ready for this stamina test. Dave Evan's Annaluna is an assured stayer, is not reliant on a pace as a prominent racer, and appears to be improving gradually with racing. This is her all weather debut but her sire's progeny have a 19% strike rate at this track and she is very much bred to improve on this surface. Stall one will suit her run style and Graham Gibbons is an excellent booking.

Two races of interest this afternoon, and a possible evening bet - details of that either way at 5.00pm.
1.55 Lingfield
Adorable Choice 3pts win @ 10/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Emman Bee 3pts win @ 12/1 (William Hill, guaranteed, 11/1 generally guaranteed)
Two years now since Adorable Choice won her maiden for us at 33/1, and she makes appeal this afternoon to add a fourth win to her tally. She is out of the handicap, but the excellent Natasha Eaton is booked and from stall four the only instruction can really be to make all. A mark of OR68 means there is room to manouevre, and with the stable in decent form she looks good value at double figure odds.
Three year olds do well in this contest and Emman Bee is interesting with Joe Fanning booked. Her all weather form reads well and I would suggest there is definitely room for improvement off her current mark. A prep race over six furlongs last week was encouraging, and the booking of Joe Fanning looks a real positive.
3.05 Haydock Weird Al 4pts win @ 5/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Has a fantastic record fresh, and will have been trained for this race since last season ended. His trainer does really well at this track and his horses are in good form. I think he will be backed on course and 5/1 makes plenty of appeal. No real need for a long write up on this one, everything that has been said in the press is taken into account, I just think that of all the horses here, Weird Al has been prepped for this as his big day - the market principals have other targets in the medium term. That might tell in the slog to the line.
Profit & loss: day:-15.00 / month: +44.70 / year: +24.80
