2.40 Newbury
Indignant 3pts win @ 13/2 (Bet Victor, guaranteed, 6/1 generally guaranteed)
Fort Knox 3pts win @ 8/1 (Bet Victor, guaranteed, 15/2 generally guaranteed)
Richard Hughes was on fire at this track yesterday and I can't resist backing Indignant on his seasonal debut for the Hannon stable. She will appreciate the drying ground and ran well in better races than this on numerous occasions last year. She looks a seven furlong specialist and her second behind Dutch Rose at York and Newmarket win look standout pieces of form. Fitness has to be taken on trust but she might not be badly handicapped off OR98 and, with conditions to suit, looks a good price at 6/1+.
Fort Knox is added, with Ryan Moore a notable booking. He has his first start for Charlie Appleby today and that stable seem to be hitting form now. The son of Dubawi should enjoy this ground in my view, despite the fact that both career wins have come on soft. First time out could be the time to catch him, and he was highly tried as a three year old which suggests he was held in some regard. He races off OR104 today, but I think he could be better than a handicapper and he looks big at 7/1+.
3.25 Thirsk
Go Go Green 1pt each-way AND 1pt win @ 25/1 (Generally guaranteed)
Imperial Legend 1pt each-way AND 1pt win @ 14/1 (Bet Victor, Coral, guaranteed, 12/1 generally guaranteed) - E/W 3rd
Go Go Green was noted staying on well at Doncaster last time out, on ground that might have been tacky enough for him. I think he has a nice draw today, with six Wives And Bronze Beau either side, which should give him a good tow into the contest. It looks set to be run at a good gallop and if they do come back late on, Go Go Green's stamina for six furlongs can stand him in good stead. I thought 25/1 was too big.
Imperial Legend should get a good tow into it on the rail, behind Tumblewind. He had a nice pipe opener on his reappearance and wasn't given a hard time of it at all in the closing stages. He was progressive last season and can continue an upward curve here. I think he has been well placed here in a winnable looking 71-85 contest.
4.00 Thirsk Mysterial 5pts win @ 7/1 (Generally guaranteed)
Mysterial represents a trainer who does really well here and has won this race twice in the past five years. She runs Al Muheer (winner two years ago) today but I prefer Mysterial of her two. He is unexposed and came right back to form last time at Musselburgh, where he was given far too much to do by his apprentice rider in a race that didn't look to be run at a manic pace. He stayed on very well in the closing stages, and I think this will be run to suit him. P.J. McDonald, who rides this track well, takes the mount and the selection appears to be well handicapped. He looks the bet of the day.
Profit & loss: day: -13.00 / month: +109.85 / year: +197.15
