The one that caught my eye big time was Battonier Cheltenham 3.10 (impressed me more than most according to the write ups I have read) – still green but watch the race he could be called the winner a way long way out swinging off the bridle and was always going to catch Broadbackbob – anything like this improvement will hold it well for the Festival – Wichita Lineman and Bobs Worth won this race before going onto the festival – they were no more impressive than this one on Saturday – and the fact that the in crowd were on Broadback and were not watching out in the country means they will allow him to go off at a big price.
Today's cards are poor fare and am interested in a few that can make it on the predicted ground
1.20 Ayr - really like the chances of All for a Buzz in the 1.20 novice hurdle - bred from Alflora will relish the conditions for its first sticks race and - its not normal for me to have any sort of bet on a first timer - but this one looks built for it and anything it does today will make it a notebook animal.
The other punt for me is in the 3.15 at Plumpton Sapphire Rouge back to 3miles the ground is the only worry for this one on a stiffish mark but that's discounted by a very very stylish young claimer in this conditional jockeys handicap. I am not that concerned about the ground on its performance behind Round the Horn on heavy ground at Towcester off a mark of 100 -is off 110 today but that 8lbs claim gets it into the reckoning big time.
Let me know what caught your eye over the weekend

3.15
At these prices I fancy Red Lair, with the long layoff, who what I feel is thrown into a achievable mark. His LTO 4th was I feel a strong form, when you look at the finish against some decent types, who are more Class 3 level. It has a good sire races the ground and races today with ultra low weight, there is some market support and if it looks fit in the parade ahs all the chances i think at 9.0 BSP.
The fav looks strong here aswell, but now steamed from 4.8 into 2.68 so no point of backing it.
plenty you can fancy really and good luck with the red Laird - he is a bit like Deep Pockets who is a dodgepot but is so well in and will both be watched by me for a bet in running
what a great run from the Red laird well called Rade
Good trade and thought Inrunning, that Deep Pockets looked strong staying at 16s until 3/4 mark. Your selection looked all the time out, he the horse didnt want to race and thats always a shame.
Bob, I watched the Battonier race and it looked really like a strongly improved run, you know what race its entered in, as I think It was good form against horses, that didnt slow down too much. Great note!
