Hi all,
The winning run had to come to an end sometime and it did so yesterday. It’s shocking morning weather wise.
Thirsk
2:50 – Grimsdyke – 4/1 – Gen – Seemed to put in a much improvement when winning at Redcar 9-days ago, beating a well fancied stablemate in the process. Has a 6lb penalty to carry for that win but remains capable of better and is bred to be a better than a 51 rated horse. Soft ground would be an unknown but three of his half siblings were effective with ease in the ground.
3:20 – Myklachi – 7/2 – Gen – The selection will be suited by forecast rain, having won a selling handicap at Ripon on soft ground back in June. Seemed to put in a career best when 2nd of 10 at Lingfield 13-days ago and he should be suited by today’s slightly longer trip. Vulnerable to any improvers but should give his running.
Chelmsford
7:30 – Only Spoofing – 10/3 @ William Hill – Comes into these 5f handicap in tremendous form,having won his last three races on turf. The last of those wins came at Ascot 14-days when he out battled the eventual runner-up to win by 1/2 length. This is just his second run at Chelmsford, previous run was in this race 12 months ago. He was beaten length into 4th that day, off 9lb lower, but comes into this year’s race in much better from. Up 7lb demands even more from the 5-year-old but he looks capable of another big run.
Cheers
John
