Ascot
3.55 – Lightening Cloud 2pt win
10/1
Lightening Cloud put up a cracking effort last time in The
Wokingham at Royal Ascot, just lacking the finishing speed of the specialist
sprinters over the 6 furlong trip. Now
back up to 7 furlongs and with the ground coming in his favour, everything
looks in place for a massive run tomorrow.
You always need a bit of luck in these big field handicaps,
but I’m sure that Lightening Cloud is the best handicapped horse in the race,
and is still open to plenty of improvement having just had 12 career
starts. I expect this horse to be very
well backed tomorrow, hence me putting the bet up this evening.
Market Rasen
2.50 – Red Inca 1pt win 20/1
Travelled like a horse ahead of his mark when tiring late on
in a decent juvenile handicap at Sandown in April. Been in decent form on the flat since, and
interesting that connections, who have done really well with their handicap
hurdlers in recent years, have targeted this race.
The less emphasis on stamina will suit, and off a fly
weight, with a decent apprentice booked, he holds a better chance than his 20/1
would imply.
3.25 – I have dreamed 1pt win
10/1
Looks well handicapped on his Hunter Chase form, now
reverting to a handicap for the first time since October 2010. He finished 3rd off a mark of 137
that day, but has seemed an improved horse since hunting, which seems to have
taught him to relax, and has resulted in him getting further in the process.
On top of that he is now with the Lawney Hill, who has
improved plenty of horses from other yards over the past few seasons, and if
she has worked her magic on this one, then he could go really well in a very
competitive handicap.
