caught my eye


Special Wells should outrun odds of around 16/1 in the Connolly's Red Mills final at Haydock.

Sue Smith's six-year-old has progressed steadily, scoring narrowly at Wetherby on St Stephen's Day. Since then he has run well in three handicaps, recently getting tapped for toe in a messy race when second to at Carlisle. That proved he can be competitive off this sort of mark so he ought to be thereabouts.
 
I backed Woodford County in the Midlands Grand National and he ran a cracker to finish 3rd, that wasn't long ago though and he had a hard race, plus he was near bottom weight that day. The drop back to 3.5 miles might help him but he did hit a couple that dented his chances, off top weight today on soft ground is a big ask, but he's definitely in good form.

I just got in before the 2.35 from Haydock and stuck a few quid ew on Southfield Vic, no research, just the Paul Nicholls Saturday thing, so will re-invest a little of the profit on Astigos, other end of the handicap in the 3.10, ew again, with a saver on Virac
I've also gone with the PN trained Ulck du LIN

Sean Bowen is the business.
 
Sean Bowen is the business.

He is, a future champ I reckon, and the win on Virac is his tenth chase win getting him onto Mon Parrain in the national next week as the youngest jockey
 
Champion conditional race nicely set up now.
