28/1

Inchdaly Rock 1st and Jokers legacy 2nd!

1250 NEWC
BETTING FORECAST: 7/4 Nelliedonethat, 6/1 Mistral De La Cour, 8/1 Neidpath Castle, Sound Of Cheers, 9/1 Dawn Ride, 14/1 Ballynure, 16/1 Mr Twins, Perly Spencer, 20/1 Star Of Raven, Stormont Dawn, Woodview, 25/1 Farne Isle, Ring Of Beara, Wee George, Whispering Moor.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Not many are sure to run their races and NELLIEDONETHAT should have plenty to offer unpenalised for his Musselburgh win, despite the very different conditions. Star Of Raven, lightly raced for her age and with Denis O'Regan booked, might be worth another chance despite a low-key return to action at Carlisle last month.

Price gap more pronounced in the live market 1.48 to place is suspiciously big for sch a price gapper

100 LING
BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Auld Arty, 11/4 Flamsteed, 9/2 Marina Walk, 6/1 Hatman Jack, 12/1 Spiritual Healing, 16/1 The Winged Assasin, 25/1 Only Hope, 33/1 Uncle Brit, 66/1 Little Miss Ginger,

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: AULD ARTY is worth another chance given his progressive profile ahead of his latest run, and might just have too much speed for Flamsteed despite the trip promising to be as short as he wants. Marina Walk is an interesting newcomer.[GN]

Auld Arty 3 2nds already 1.25 to place

155 NEWC
BETTING FORECAST: 15/8 Whisky Magic, 9/2 Steady Tiger, 8/1 Waldo Winchester, 10/1 Best Lover, Dancing Dik, 12/1 Bee Sting, Mamba, 14/1 Baltic Pathfinder, Crackerjack Lad, 16/1 Solis, 20/1 Quatro Pierji, 33/1 Executive Xpress, Wednesdays Boy, 40/1 Work Boy, 50/1 Amulree, 100/1 Bromley Bay.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Bee Sting is a pretty useful recruit off the Flat and Steady Tiger had quite a reputation before suffering a setback, but WHISKY MAGIC (nap) got his hurdling career off to a flying start at Market Rasen and has decent prospects of following up in a race in which his stable is going for a hat-tric

Steady tiger quite a mover

225 LIMERICK

BETTING FORECAST: 1/2 Quiscover Fontaine, 9/2 Monty Blue, 7/1 Alice Bradys Call, 8/1 Porto Calero, 14/1 Thedancingdemon, 16/1 Doctor Scott, 20/1 Scenic Rush, 25/1 Atmywitsend, 33/1 Alderfield, Olympian Boy.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: QUISCOVER FONTAINE looks a cut above this opposition. Last season's Goffs Land Rover Bumper winner may ultimately need a bit further, but has coped admirably in his two outings over this trip since finishing third to On The Way Out on his hurdling debut in a 2m2f Fairyhouse event. The form of his Gowran maiden win was franked when runner-up Kandari landed the odds on his next start, and last month's course and distance win was shown in a good light when the consistent runner-up Alpine Eagle was seventh in the Pierse Hurdle.\n
Monty Blue looks second-best. The Overbury gelding has some fair form over 2m, i

Fav now 2/5 and hardened BUT heavy ground at Limerick

240 LING
BETTING FORECAST: 9/2 Hucking Hero, 11/2 L´Hirondelle, 6/1 Ocean Legend, 7/1 Paradise Dancer, Pegasus Again, 8/1 Torch Of Freedom, 10/1 Leonaldo, 12/1 Burnbrake, 14/1 Dinner Date, Dudley Docker, Napoletano.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Paradise Dancer might get things her own way here depending on how Pegasus Again is ridden, but whether she is in the form to take advantage must be debatable and it could be worth opposing her with the lightly raced L'HIRONDELLE. From a yard in great form, the sharper test promises to suit him and he could have too many guns for recent conqueror Ocean Legend round here.

Torch of freedom now 9/4 - quite a move

305 NEWC
BETTING FORECAST: 4/9 Door Boy, 11/2 What A Buzz, 14/1 Arctic Rock, 16/1 Witty Banter, 20/1 Presque Perdre, Quiqui De L´Isle, Tantobie, 25/1 Carrick Star, Mick Flavin, Mister Marker, 33/1 Classic Cut, 50/1 Silver Salvo, 66/1 Country Servant, 100/1 Castleroche, Ethel Briggs, 150/1 Paradigm Investor.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: What A Buzz hails from a stable in blinding form and may have further improvement to make but he meets DOOR BOY on 19lb worse terms than he would in a handicap and Howard Johnson's runner has to be the choice back at a more suitable trip after coming up short in a 2m Grade 2 last time

Big field for one so short

ONE A DAY
Chance on Auld Arty again to continue the placings and perhaps get his head in front
