    Really looking forward to this Saturdays racing, but most of the bets are almost afterthoughts, and had planned little financial interest.

    This race is the perfect example, as I’m big fan of Wodhooh, and expect her to win here, but a couple look too big.

    This is probably Crambo’s level. Never any interest in the horse from me before, but 16’s was too big.

    I’ve bet Winter Fog a couple of times this year, and though she let me down, I wouldn’t have her at 30’s, and she’s my main bet EW, with a smaller interest on Crambo, as I think the price is wrong for him round here

    Crambo 16’s
    Winter Fog 30’s EW

    I’ll try Kateira at 10s each way- I assume she’s not prepping for anything, her mission is to go out and win as much money for the cause as possible.

    Surprised to see Potters Charm so big, even at the weights. Convinced he’s from the top drawer and hopefully we will get a better idea of where we stand with him tomorrow.

    Nice performance, thought for a moment that she had a bit to do turning in but she picked them up quite easily – only beaten by Lossiemouth over hurdles at Aintree so that is looking extremely strong form now.

    Would expect it will be all roads leading to the Mares Hurdle at Cheltenham and then back to the Aintree Hurdle and hope Lossiemouth doesn’t turn up again.

    She has now won 8 of her 9 races on good, good to soft and soft ground so she is very versatile and still only a 5 yr old to boot – turning out to be a very shrewd buy from Sir Michael Stoute’s yard back in 2023.

    Mike007 – Congrats on the double!

    She has already won over £234k in earnings since going hurdling so you would have thought that she would have made back most (if not all and then some) for connections with much more likely to come.

    She also has now won a G2 and been place in a G1 so has the black type if they eventually want to breed from her……..they (The Sundowners Partnership) must be living the dream with her at the moment and good luck to them.
