Tuesday 24th July
Southwell- National Hunt
3.10 – The Sliotar 2pt win 6/1 generally
Shaped as though still needing the run, on his 2nd run back from a lengthy absence last time, but travelled through the race as though he is in fair form, and ahead of his mark.
The fact that his top yard are still persevering with him at the age of 11, would imply that he retains his enthusiasm and they feel he is still capable of winning races.  I doubt he retains all of his ability, but he should still be good enough off a mark of 118, to take this.

2nd

4.10 – Amazing King 2pt win 11/2 generally
Has been in top form on the flat recently, and returns to hurdles off a very low mark.  I think the key to this horse is a tight track on decent going, today he has that, and if he can’t win today, then I doubt that he will win over hurdles again.
Won on his only previous visit to the course in a Novice Chase, and Adam Nichol looks decent value for his 7lb claim.
