SOARING SPIRITS SPRINGS 25/1 SUCCESS!
SOARING SPIRITS gave everyone at Harper Lodge Farm a lift when winning at Brighton today at a massive 25/1. It was 40 days and 47 runs since the yard had its last winner, the “coldest” spell of the year, but the search for a winner ended courtesy of the eight-year-old chestnut son of Tamayuz. He… Read more »

SWISS CHIME ON THE DRIFT
SWISS CHIME is very weak in the betting for today’s stable and handicap debut when lining up for the 6f nursery at Lingfield (4.50pm). The former Richard Hannon 2yo, the mount of Martin Dwyer, is out to 25/1 and like yesterday’s stable runners, is friendless in the market. She looks to be on a fair… Read more »

CELTIC CHIEFTAIN MASSIVE PRICE AT LEICESTER
DEAN IVORY runs four horses at Leicester today, all with Martin Dwyer on board and they are all big drifters in the market but it might still be worth having a second glance at Celtic Chieftain, a 25/1 shot for the 4.20, a 13-runner novice event over a mile and a half. The 5yo son of… Read more »

BLAZE BACK TO FAVOURED YARMOUTH
BLAZE OF HEARTS is back to the scene of his two wins last year, Yarmouth, when contesting the mile handicap today at 4.05pm. His second success was over course and distance and he is running off the same winning mark (74), so if the phrase, “horses for courses” counts for anything, he should run well… Read more »

SIX FURLONGS TO SUIT FANCY FLYER
FANCY FLYER is one of three stable runners today when lining up for the 6f nursery at Lingfield (1.30pm) and looking as though he’ll appreciate the step up to six furlongs, looks solid each-way material at 5/1. One of ten runners, the son of Archipenko shaped as though 5f was too sharp on recent outings,… Read more »

GROUND AND WEIGHT IN LANCE’S FAVOUR
LANCELOT DU LAC is well handicapped and has ground conditions in his favour to belie his big double figure price in today’s Portland Handicap, due off at 1.50pm at Town Moor. While the stands rail draw of 22 may not be help, ground is crucial to the 102-rated 8yo and at 25/1, the Robert Winston-ridden son of… Read more »

LOW DRAW COULD BE KEY TO WOTADOLL
WOTADOLL , who has been runner-up on her last three starts, could go one better today at Sandown in the 2.50, a 5f handicap and the low draw (3 of 9) could help her cause. She was second over course and distance last time out but was drawn wide. Today’s much lower draw should see… Read more »

The veteran sprinter is currently rated 105 compared with the 114-rated Limato yet the conditions of the race mean the Harper… Read more »
