iiii- HAYDOCK -3.10 - FOILLAN 11/2 - Dr Newland can handle handicappers and this one won nicely last time and he ans the second drew well clear. Up 10lb and hoping he still ahead of handicapper. LOST not ahead of handicapper obviously
i- LINGFIELD 4.00 - SOLDIERS MINUTE - 12/1- Hate grayhound racing but cant seem to get away from this so included . Fast closing third last time against Good Effort after bump leaving stalls and then finishing third after very tricky run last time. Now better terms than with two who beat him that day and with more luck in running could be a nice price winner. 4th ran well but got caught near the end.
After last weeks 14-1 winner and no waffle back to normal this week.
iiii - NEWBURY 3.37 - DORKING BOY 3-1 - Won well at Taunton and then ran improver close next time. C & D Winner and should go in again. 2ND when he took it up looked like winner but worn down by winner
iii- NEWBURY 4.12- FUJI FLIGHT 3-1 - Very Impressive last time and should be able to cope with 7lb rise. WINNER Bonnie little horse who battled on well at end
ii- DONCASTER 2.55 - THE BIG BITE - 5/2 - Loves the track and second to FUNAMBULE SIVOLA last time which is better form than all of these. LOST wasnt helped by loose horse at last
i- KELSO 2.40- WINDSOR AVENUE 11/2 - Won the SKY BET well last time out and if he takes to this course he should win again. PULLED UP and to really rub it in my old Fav NUTS WELL won at 18-1 ARGGHHHHH

iiii- AYR 3.20 - PAMMI -10/1 - Had a prep race the other week over too short a distance and is extremely well handicapped for shrewdie Jim Goldie with a very eye catching jockey booking in Brian Hughes. LOST not in it.
iii - SANDOWN 2.25- KIHAVAH 16-1 Ok on Cheltenham form with HYSTERY BERE he shouldnt beat that but he was absolutely swinging coming to the last and looked to have landed heavily at the last. Won impressively next time out and with a good round I like the look of him. LOST not good enough DANGER - ONEMOREFORTHEROAD 7-1 4th 12-1 battled on well but no chance with Irish horse
II- WOLVERHAMPTON 1.31 - FULL AUTHORITY 12-1 A real punt but already backed from 20-1 and trainer can really improve horses, see her INTERNATIONAL ANGEL later on card. Horse been gelded after changing stables and a snip on old form if Jane C-H has worked magic. LOST never going to win DANGER -MIGHTY GURKHA 8-1 LOST
i- SANDOWN 3.00 - EEL PIE ISLAND 25-1 - Four year olds have a brilliant record in this race and only two of them in this, Hendersons looks like tight odds . Paul Webber has trained Indefatigable to be a good horse and he could do well with this mare as well who might be very underated. IM GOOD!!!! FINISHED LAST and HENDERSON horse won by miles at least I got 4 year old winner DANGER - NIFTY GETAWAY 20-1 FINISHED SECOND LAST

With the flat season starting it is a bit like sticking pins in with some horses making their appearances and some who have been imitating Greyhounds over the winter.
