Balmoral Handicap 2014

[Gdc1]

This handicap could cut up quite bad in more ways than one!! I can see an old favourite who cannot have it soft enough in Levitate running a very big race – anyone daft enough to follow me in take the 16s as that will not last

I was looking on ATR and saw that Gary Nutting had put up Chatez at 14/1. After him tipping Big Easy last week he must have developed a following because the two firms who were going 14/1 had cut him into 8/1.

My fancy is the rapidly improving

Baraweez

, who started winning off 76 at Ayr and has progressed to a mark of 100 now. Successful in good handicaps in Ireland, he has won from 7f to 9f and won on good to soft, with a second place on heavy. Getting 9f on good to soft successfully would give an indication he should not want for stamina in the testing conditions and he’s surely still got scope after only 9 starts, winning five of them. Brian Ellison said that they swerved the Cambridgeshire to go for this race instead.

12/1 looks likely to beat SP so I’m on board at those odds.

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

DREAM WALKER like ground and too big at 33/1 he is

Does the handicapping genius Dermot Weld have an entry?

Well done to Marcus Tregoning again with Bronze Angel. My old pal Maverick Wave, who had earlier form with Bronze Angel this season, yet failed to figure in the Cambridgeshire when that one won, managed to run something more like it today.

All in all a very poor two days for me and I really must remember not to get involved on the mud!!

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

Nice place money from Levitate and another great training performance (and ride from apprentice Louis Steward) by Marcus Tregoning who must be the forgotten trainer
