BIN TO WIN AT HAYDOCK

Rather late blog today, so it's going to be quite brief. Bold Chief has already come third for me at Haydock, hoping I can improve on that with these selections.

Haydock 3:15- BINCOMBE has won his last two races quite nicely and represents the in form Philip                                   Hobbs stable. Runs off a nice weight today and has performed well on good ground before.
                        Main danger is Midnight Sail.

Bincombe

Kempton 2:55- Zurigha is the favourite and rightfully so and his unveaten record at Kempton needs to be                               respected. However, I like the chances of RIBBONS, who has also won at the track. She

                        was unbeaten last year until she was beaten over 10 furlongs at Yarmouth, the extra 2 

                        furlongs wasn't to her liking that day. Back to a mile today and she's bred to improve as a 4                           year old.

Kempton 4:35- Plenty with chances in this race, in fact it wouldn't be a huge surprise if any of them won in                             the race. I've opted for SNOW TROUBLE, a horse who ran at the course on debut,                                   finishing a nice third, before he won a maiden at the Goodwood Festival under a determined                         Johnny Murtagh ride. I backed him that day and it was a decent maiden. Trainer Marcus                               Tregoning is said to be sweet on him, as is Murtagh and he could be smart. The likelihood is                         that the winner of this will become a good 3 year old.

Cork 4:40- NONCHALANT represents the Dermot Weld stable who are flying at present. Odds on                             favourite Kerkemi is a little vulnerable in my opinion and my pick is nicely bred.

Bath 6:30- Another maiden, this time over 5 furlongs. Nothing really stands out in this field, Come Uppence has a chance but I'm going for SIMPLY MAGIC. A half sister to Elleval, who's won a nice price in Dubai and Heddwyn, who won on his debut. Richard Hannon has already had a success with first season sire Zebedee with Magical Roundabout, who runs for the same owner as Simply Magic. She has a good chance.

Bath 7:00- Quite a decent race for the track is the Fillies Listed Stakes also over 5 furlongs. Some nice types in this, including MARCH, who looked classy last year before she was upped in trip to 6 furlongs, where she was beaten. Being dropped back to 5 furlongs will help her and she has since moved stable to sprint king Robert Cowell, who has a 50% strike rate at the track (5-10). Another I like is EXCELS BEAUTY, a horse who will love the trip and relish the firm ground. Her front running nature should put her in good stead here, 12/1 looks a very large price.

Have a good weekend

Happy punting!
