Struggling this week as got to dash down to Suffolk as Mum taken fall, so not my usual hard look
iiii - KELSO 3.00 - LA REVE 9/2 - Good horse in his day who has resumed winning form and won by 14 lengths last time. Should win again LOST
iii - KELSO 2.25 - ALBERTS BACK 7-1- Returned after long absence to come second to JOKE DANCER although that was emphatic victory hoping with cobwebs blown away , 5lb pul and Hughes aboard he will get revenge. NR
ii- KELSO 15.35 - BURROWS PARK 8-1 - Struggled at the festival . Hoping lowering of sights and return to longer trip will suit. WINNER
i- NEWBURY 15.15 - SHE MITE BITE 6-1 - Ran two good races around this trip for places and going well when brought down last time. Hoping she gets her just deserts this time. LOST

Thanks all , another broken shoulder im afraid, matching pair now. Still in hospital so in best place and not letting her out till they have all the care arrangements in place.
Lets try and keep rolling upwards even though some tough races and the first turf flat meeting.
iiii - 2.40 KEMPTON -DESERT DOCTOR 6-1 - Won last time and hoping change of AW course doesnt affect him, Like booking of Mosse. 3RD oh dear oh dear, well behind and then had to switch two or three times and bolted home for the place
iii- 2.25 DONCASTER - PETRUS 8-1- Already been nibbled at and likes strraight courses, Trainer has won this before and recently gelded. hoping it is a plan. WINNER certainly was a plan and won somewhat handily in end
ii- 7.30 SOUTHWELL - SHINE BABY SHINE 7-1 - Course and distance winner who has good form over close rivals today. 2ND struggled early on but came late but just couldnt get to winner
i- 3.35 DONCASTER - ZWAYYAN -14-1 - Won the trial nicely and De Sousa on today. LOST Dangers AUXERRE 4-1 Could be group horse WINNER group horse in handicap and HUMBERT 10-1. LOST

Grand National Saturday and lets hope I can get my once in a blue moon winner in the race.
iiii - 5.15 AINTREE - STEP BACK- 25-1 - Won the BET365 by miles last year and all the horses that followed him home in the places have franked the form this season. the problem is he hasnt run well in two races this year but had excuses both times and apparently he schooled superbly over national fences recently. Been aiming for this all year. LOST shows he likes right handed courses and will never win this, cant give away lengths at every fence. Surprised Nico didnt take him to inside though.
Dangers - RATHVINDEN 9-1 3rd and LAKE VIEW LAD 16-1 LOST
iii- 6.20 AINTREE - LORD YEATS- 11-2 - 2 wins and 2 seconds in last four races and makes handicap debut when ground should be ok for him. 4th
ii- 4.30 NEWCASTLE - TIQUER - 9/2 - Ran well last time and has had another wind op since then. Well treated on form. NR pity I cant replace with one of my winners below LOL
i- 2.00 LINGFIELD - CHICA DE LA NOCHE - 6-1 - dropped in grade and likes this C/D 14lb better off with the French horse now and should reverse form. 3rd beat fav but done by two others

After my other fancies came in last week and my ratings failed dismally I've gone for market movers this week Thought as I fancied them anyway and others do too that was an omen. so hear goes.
iiii - NEWBURY 2.10 - DANCING VEGA 5-2- Won impressively on only start and entered for 1000 and Oaks and already backed in. Stable won this three times in 9 years. LOST never happy and not good enough
iii- AYR 1.55- DRINKS INTERVAL - 15-2 - Two impressive early season wins on Good and back up in distance should suit. already backed down from 12-1. FELL Going for fun until mistake and would have rather had Johnson on as he knows horse and its style well.
ii- NEWBURY 2.40- HELLO YOUMZAIN 11-4 - Only beaten once last season giving 6lb to good horse. Backed from 7-2 already. LOST - Ran well for long way and bumped when his chance had gone didnt get mile
i- AYR 2.25 - PEARL OF THE WEST 10-1 - Unexposed Irish horse who won at cheltenham before having mid season break. Had a warm up for this on the flat recently and ground and support in from 14-1 look likes a plan. LOST Too quick too early not good enough

ii - MUSSELBURGH 3.00 - ORNATE 14-1 - One of my favourite trainers who had a poor year last year. Horses in form this year and this horse won last time. Was a lot better horse than this current rating so hoping he has his mojo back . NON RUNNER
