3/4

Quick blog today cos at internet cafe and not at main pc00353868874024

210 BATH
BETTING FORECAST: 3/1 Chicita Banana, 9/2 Crown, 5/1 Country Princess, Vilnius, 10/1 Kate Skate, Vaduz, 12/1 Michaelmas Daisy, 14/1 Avon Valley, 20/1 Mrs Puff, 25/1 True Red, 33/1 Dolly Will Do.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: The betting should give an idea of expectations for the newcomers, but CHICITA BANANA ran well enough from an unhelpful draw against the colts in the Brocklesby to suggest she can make her presence felt in a race like this.[FC]

Quite a move for Crown into 13/8 fav but this is a maiden

235 AINTREE
BETTING FORECAST: 15/8 Herecomesthetruth, 9/4 Massini´s Maguire, 6/1 Shining Gale, 10/1 Killyglen, 12/1 Or Jaune, Siegemaster, 20/1 The Vicar, 40/1 Cheating Chance, Oscar Bay, 50/1 Coq Hardi, 500/1 Kinkeel.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: HERECOMESTHETRUTH looks the best option, having form comparable with the very best on offer here and with doubts on one count or another about old rival Massini's Maguire (may be better at a shade shorter), Shining Gale (will cheekpieces be as effective on this second try?) and Siegemaster (ground), who are the pick of the opposition. For all that, Massini's Maguire would probably have beaten the selection over 2m4f at Sandown in February but for a mistake five out and still rates a big danger, ahead of Shining Gale.[MCu]

Front 2 against the field? Herecomes has similar profile to Big Bucks - won under Ruby previously.

310 AINTREE
BETTING FORECAST: 6/4 Voy Por Ustedes, 100/30 Nacarat, 5/1 Tidal Bay, 10/1 Petit Robin, Schindlers Hunt, 20/1 Briareus, Scotsirish, 33/1 Newmill, 50/1 Takeroc, 66/1 Natal,

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: VOY POR USTEDES didn't do himself justice when second in the Ryanair but he kept battling away even though he had made life difficult for himself with some indifferent jumps and is taken to make amends here with his stable already in blinding form at the meeting. Tidal Bay and Petit Robin may pose most threat.[PJ]

As we saw with Denman, even the great can blunder, but Voy Por Estedes looks great place material

320 BATH
BETTING FORECAST: 5/4 Onemix, 11/4 Teeky, 8/1 Eightdaysaweek, 9/1 Carte D´Oro, 12/1 Am I Blue, Fondant Fancy, 16/1 Quella, 20/1 Lucy´s Perfect, 25/1 Atacama Sunrise.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Not that much to go on and market reference is strongly advised as a big move for something would be significant, given that this has the look of an ordinary maiden. Teeky showed enough in the second of last season's two starts to command plenty of respect but the AW form of ONEMIX is superior and she sets a clear standard. [MCu]

Very tricky fillies maiden here, but Onemix has come 2nd 3 times - clear of remainder last time out. Taking a risk with the race type but the string of 2nds augurs well for another place

420 AINTREE
BETTING FORECAST: 9/4 Karabak, 5/1 Pride Of Dulcote, Weapon´s Amnesty, 8/1 According To Dick, 10/1 On Raglan Road, Pause And Clause, 12/1 Knockara Beau, 25/1 Merrydown, Moscow Catch, Ogee, 40/1 Honest John, 50/1 Latanier, 66/1 Comhla Ri Coig, Hey Big Spender, 150/1 Etxalar.

Strong 7/4 fav but big competitive field. Still ,the element of the price gapper about him

920 WOLVES
BETTING FORECAST: 11/8 Seek The Fair Land, 9/4 Jul´s Lad, 6/1 Crush, 12/1 Go Sunshine, One Scoop Or Two, 16/1 Piccolo Express, 20/1 Prince Andjo, 50/1 Princess Janet.

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: Money for Crush would look significant in a weak race but SEEK THE FAIR LAND ran well enough on his final outing last season to think he could win a similar race.[PSm]

Pity's this is a maiden as there are 3 sub 12/1 but the fav not run since Oct 2008

ONE A DAY
1.33 VOY POR ESTEDES looks very enticing but does tell us this is a competitive race.
320 BATH - Onemix 1.2 to place. Hope that the maiden is growing with experience and continues to place

Chance on the King /Thornton charge today, ever mindful though that this is a competitive race over tricky and unique fences
