Saturday proved to be a very frustrating day with 3 selections finishing 2nd ,and we had 2 finish 4th all at decent odds so it was a case of close but not close enough which can and does prove expensive!!
Onto Sunday and in all honesty some moderate racing however as we have seen previously moderate can mean profit so here’s hoping .
We will keep with the theme and look at the 2 mile selling hurdle 230 at Towcester ,a limited appeal race with a field of generally unreliable sorts and I’m going to the foot of the handicap where we have recent winner PEQENO DIABLO the fact he is a recent winner is as good a recommendation as any in this , he made all at Fontwell on Boxing day over 2 mile 4 furlongs on heavy going and I would envisage a similar plan here ,arguably that race although only a 5 runner field was better than this ,was raised 5 pounds for that and was rather found out last time although that was definitely a stronger race , Gerald Quinn takes 7 pounds off and he is weighted to run free in this. The other one for me is at the bottom of the handicap and admittedly his form figures of 56096 do not inspire too much confidence however closer inspection sees former point winner DROMBEG WEST has been running not too bad to a point in these previous races ,he was well supported in both his previous races both handicaps and both better grade than this, the booking of Andrew Tinkler of bottom weight and 4 pounds out the handicap suggest 1 more try for this fella in this bottom grade of race.
Over to Fontwell and the 450 race and one of the only real betting propositions on the card for me . PROUD TIMES has been in fantastic form this term winning 4 of his last 5 races but he now finds himself 15 pounds higher than when winning at Uttoxeter in November. CLONLUSKER beat GOOCHYPOOCHYPRADER by 11 lengths at Plumpton in January and has been hiked a 14 pounds for that while the latter remains on same mark so they should finish closer and GOOCHYPOOCHYPRADER has won here previously back in April last year he is though very inconsistent and I would prefer CLONLUSKER to improve again and still hold sway with these two.The Moore horse THE GAME IS A FOOT was in good form at the tail end of 2013 and finished a decent 4th on return from a short break at Warwick and must be considered a player in this and the stable have won this twice in the last 6 years . Top weight form the Tizzard yard is QUITE BY CHANCE and he had run a couple of decent 3rd in Bumpers before a 2nd and 3rd in Novice hurdles ,he then went and contested a decent race at Cheltenham where he was in touch until 3 from home ,he then disappointed at Wincanton after a short lay off however i do not think that was his true running and he has now dropped 6 pounds to a more realistic mark and it would be no shock to see him on the premises here.
