16/7


Solo Act 4th at 85/40 - a nice lay - Hand painted was appauling in another small field maiden won by a 25/1 shot! Copperbottomed unplaced and Billion dollar kid won.Kritzia duly placed

Irish combos - one qualifer came in a race where the odds were 2/1, followed by 9/4, 9/4 -not really an ideal race eh? MAjestic concorde won at 7/4

"but it is a friendly" - those famous last words as Villa were stuffed 3-1 by Lincoln!

230 CATT
BETTING FORECAST: 7/4 Solo Attempt, 15/8 Inheritor, 5/1 Veronicas Boy, 10/1 Little Tokyo, 14/1 Digger Derek, 16/1 Sardan Dansar, 33/1 Dark Oasis, Smoke Me A Kipper .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Veronicas Boy is relatively exposed and could struggle under his penalty against INHERITOR and Solo Attempt. The latter's form looks less solid and slight preference is for Inheritor who is the one with the proven stamina

Digger Derek currently into 8/1 - significant? May be worth each way support

330
BETTING FORECAST: 5/2 Discanti, 3/1 Know No Fear, 4/1 Kinout, Sudden Impact, 7/1 Style Award, 25/1 Firenza Bond, 33/1 Baytown Blaze .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: It is possible to make a case for most of the runners. Discanti is the obvious improver but it is debatable whether he has made enough progress to confirm Haydock superiority over KNOW NO FEAR at the revised weights

Lay the fav then if " it is possible to make a case for most of the runners"! Of course we need to try to get the shortest price

500
BETTING FORECAST: 11/10 Next Of Kin, 3/1 Highland Laddie, 11/2 Silk Drum, 12/1 Rivington Pike, 16/1 Caffari, 20/1 Jackday, Miss Serena, 25/1 Spooky, 33/1 Pequeno Dinero, Templetuohy Max .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: The step up to this trip saw an improved effort from NEXT OF KIN (nap) when pipped at Hamilton and his 6lb higher mark was made much more palatable when the winner followed up in fine style at Ayr on Monday. Highland Laddie is feared mos

I always like to see form franked and this could be the case with Next of Kin - the beginning of a winning sequence?

620 KEMPTON
BETTING FORECAST: 3/1 Constant Cheers, Show Winner, 5/1 Alexander Guru, Aypeeyes, 7/1 Ross Moor, 8/1 Safari Sundowner, 20/1 Towerofcharlemagne, Yab Adee .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Quite a tight heat but a big run can be expected from SHOW WINNER, who has slipped right back into the groove since returning from a year out and this step back up in trip can only benefit Andrew Balding's charge

Quite a tight heat - lay the shortest priced horse then? Again preference for a nice short price

220 LING
BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Plavius, Talayeb, 5/1 Sacred Flame, 10/1 Who´s This, 20/1 Magpie, 33/1 Al Mogeer, Cape Roberto, 66/1 Sarah´s Boy, 100/1 Ma Ridge, Steady Gaze .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Not a race to get heavily involved in and no surprise to see one of the outsiders pop up. Talayeb did better under a more aggressive ride on faster ground last time, but he's blown out badly a few times and it's rather offputting to see headgear back on. PLAVIUS was a costly failure himself in one run as a 2yo but he'll never be found an easier opportunity

Lay the fav then!

420
BETTING FORECAST: Evs Master Of Arts, 4/1 Furnace, 5/1 Vortex, 6/1 Hazzard County, 10/1 Dubai Meydan .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: It's anybody's guess who'll make the running and a tactical affair is quite possible. MASTER OF ARTS (nap) eventually won with a bit in hand here last time and is taken to complete the five-timer for his in-form yard (9-21 this month going into Sandown last night)

Winning sequence to end? On a 5 timer - the live odds will indicate a lay

410 UTTOXETER
BETTING FORECAST: 4/6 William Butler, 5/1 Karo De Vindecy, 6/1 Lace Your Boots, 12/1 Reasonably Sure, 14/1 Mistified, 16/1 Rash Moment, 25/1 Najca De Thaix, 33/1 Loriko D´Airy .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: WILLIAM BUTLER will surely start to feel the effects of his busy spell soon but he has been winning so impressively that he cannot be opposed in this company. Karo De Vindecy can chase him home

handicap chase - won 3 already - the sequence will end soon and hopefully the horse will be short enough to allow an odds on lay

905 WORCESTER
BETTING FORECAST: 15/8 Nortonthorpe Lad, 4/1 Flying Grey, 11/2 The Snail, 6/1 Jam Packed, 9/1 Bathwick Breeze, 14/1 Tayman, 16/1 Highland Games, Waldo´s Dream, 25/1 Dansilver, 33/1 Earnest, Sultan Fontenaille, 66/1 Grave Doubts .

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: There are several here good enough to win a race of this type but they may all have to play second fiddle to NORTONTHORPE LAD (nap), if he can show the same sizzling form that saw him romp to victory two days ago

Lay the fav?





Combos up at Leopardstown tonight
