18th September 2016

Charlie Longsdon

1:40 Uttoxeter – Burrows Lane 15/8

Burrows Lane makes his debut for us having won a bumper in Ireland. He might have run eight times in bumpers, but he seems to jump well at home and I would like to think he can go close or even follow in the footsteps of Frampton, Coppers Friend and Drop Out Joe who have won this race in the past.

★★★★★

1:40 Uttoxeter – Repeat The Feat 80/1

He needs as much practice as possible as he has taken a little time to get the hang of things. He may be better when going handicapping.

★☆☆☆☆

4:10 Uttoxteter - Off The Ground 7/2

He was unlucky a couple of times last year - he is as good a jumper as we have in the yard, yet he fell on more than one occasion. However it will be tough for him off his current mark of 133.

★★★☆☆

David Pipe (Chester Barnes)

3:00 Plumpton – Mr Burgees 6/5

Makes his debut for the stable this afternoon and Tom Scudamore is in the saddle - he has some consistent form and hopefully the 'one ride rule' will work today!

★★★★★

Some Recent Winners

05/03

4:20 Lingfield Second Thought 10/11 - WON @ 13/8

I’m not riding in this race but it looks a fascinating contest. Sutter County is interesting stepping up in trip and I know Volatile is in good order as I rode him work the other day. He’s worthy of a go in a race like this and I think he’ll run big. The horse to beat though is Second Thought.

★★★★★

2.05 Newbury Just A Par 12/1 - WON @ 14/1

This is prep for the Grand National which has been his aim all season. He found the track a bit sharp for him last time at Musselburgh and needs much quicker ground than he is going to get at Newbury.

★★☆☆☆

2.25 Doncaster San Benedeto 2/1 - WON @ 100/30

Won nicely at Musselburgh last time on good ground dropping back to two miles which suits him very well as he has plenty of speed. While San Benedeto is in form he is probably handicapped up to the hilt now. He goes here rather than Cheltenham and the less rain they get at Doncaster the better his chance in a race with decent prize money.

★★★☆☆

4.25 Newbury Warriors Tale 11/2 - WON @ 5/2

Can be a bit in and out but has run some of his best races for us at Newbury, a course which seems to play to his strengths. He goes in the ground, the trip looks perfect for him and I'd say he is fairly handicapped. Good chance.

★★★★☆

3.25 Kelso Mount Mews 7/2 - WON @ 11/8

It is a small but select field and he will need to improve to win but we like him a lot and he is in good form at home. My only concern would be that he has never encountered ground that soft before so he will need to handle it.

★★★★☆

1.30 Newbury Spice Fair 12/1 - 2nd @ 10/1

We have decided to put Paddy Brennan up, for whom he ran well at Cheltenham and Taunton; the galloping, open track with the long straight (and where he has run well in the past in good quality flat handicaps) will suit him perfectly and no horses will deserve success more.

★★★☆☆

2.50 Kelso Clan Legend 5/1- WON @ 100/30

My fault I suppose for encouraging the racecourse to keep upgrading the race but we go there with a horse that I hope still has plenty to offer over fences, whilst we may not see that until he steps up in trip but there are obvious attractions in running tomorrow and we are popping a tongue tie on

★★★☆☆

4.35 Kelso The Orange Rogue 2/1 - WON @ 11/4

He should go well if he takes to the track and it was a difficult call coming here rather than waiting for Newcastle on Tuesday where he is a course & distance winner, he will only line up if the forecast rain turns the ground heavy.

★★★★☆
