Sunday started well with a nice winner in DROMBEG WEST at an advised 9/1 ,that cleared the day with a small profit ,we were awaiting any of the other 2 for our nice double QUITE BY CHANCE 8/1(advised e/w) finished 2nd and THE GAME IS A FOOT finished 3rd advised at 11/2 ,so close to a nice payday but just not close enough.Still a 10 points profit on the day .
Monday sees Musselburgh stage its last National Hunt meeting of their season before their flat season begins in April.
The 14.20 sees Donald McCains recent Wetherby winner ROCKY STONE looking to follow-up ,he had won an Irish Point earlier in his career and seemed to relish the extra distance last time out and a 5 pound rise seems about right for that battling victory.SILVER DRAGON was ticking along nicely having won a race at Uttoxeter in October then ran a good race when 3rd in a hot little race at Wetherby,was a major disappointment on Boxing day at Market Rasen where obviously something went amiss,he then had a couple of months off but returned with a 4th in one of those NH flat events at Southwell last week which should signal all is ok after his boxing day run, I imagine they have brought him here for the decent ground as he prefers good ground.The Corbett team bring Ex – Irish horse BALLYREESODE on the trip here in search of decent ground this fella won 2 handicaps in Ireland in April 2013 for his yard and when he came here he was rated 105 he has not shown much since arriving on these shores however he obviously has ability and has now dropped to a mark that it would be foolish to overlook him despite his recent form figures . ANOTHER DIMENSION for Rose Dobbin is another whose past form in 2011 gives him a squeak,I remember seeing him win a novice hurdle at Kelso in May 2011 and he looked a decent prospect ,he has obviously had problems and not run much since then with a 630 day absence at one point before his recent 3 runs ,has shown in his last couple of runs that he may just retain some of that ability and his mark has dropped quite dramatically.
The 16.20 sees a horse I missed last time out here at Musselburgh when he bolted in by a wide margin BLUE KASCADE was one I had noted but convinced myself it would be chasing before he made his mark , I was wrong !! he fairly bolted up by 10 lengths and I fancy even the 10 pound rise will not stop him following up here for the In form Thomson yard. Having said that in Willie Coltherds SHAN VALLEY he has a dangerous opponent he looked likely to win last time out at Wetherby until she made a last flight error , only 8 years old and a previous winner for Mick Easterby she looks sure to run a big race of her present mark. Dianne Sayers NEWDANE DANCER done us a turn in a seller at Catterick just after Christmas and was raised 8 pounds for that she ran a decent race in a handicap after that and got a further 3 pound rise so she’s now 11 pounds higher than when she won the seller and this is a harder race with the previous two i mentioned however she is in good heart and I would not discount.One other who attracted a fair bit of money on his stable debut here was PAIRC NA LEASA for Martin Todhunter he was never really going too well and ended up midfield ,his Irish form however would suggest he is better than that and with Challoner taking 5 pounds off I expect a better showing this time around.
