Each way
Colin Keane takes over for the first time.
Went wrong in a maiden at Sligo last time.
Going likely to suit here having placed every previous race including a barrier trial.1pm

Both win
Both have cases to be made.
One looks made for chasing while the other has a shout if no Ill effects after a fall last time.Uttoxetter

KANUKANKAN
Win and place.
Rated 107
Series of problems including latest when burst blood vessels ran green.
Has shown ability in most runs albeit early on. Several runs under his belt.
Good newcomers here but after a rest, Kanukankan can come on especially with relationship with Tom O’Brien continuing.Hamilton

A pound off last winning mark.
Course and distance winner.

With new yard and well drawn in stall 9.
A long way down the handicap. Huge field.Chelmsford

QUEEN OF THE SKIES
Win
Steps up in trip here following good run behind Sea silk road who went on to win a listed race.
Gets weight from the unbeaten Godolphin runner who has to overcome a long absence and may well do so but is opposable.Market Rasen
1.50A maiden hurdle which sees
Gordon Elliott’s
Fire Squadron debut for a new yard.
Carries a rating of 117 earned with good bumper performances behind DRUMBEAR.
His best piece of form came in a maiden hurdle in which he split full time score and suprise package a horse well known to the forum as graded winner at Sandown for Peter Fahey while full time score went to top Irish honours as a chaser.
Dash of spice is a royal ascot winner who can still put in a good run on the flat. And at this level, if schooled well might take this race in his stride with Sean Bowen booked.
But, given his likely future, he won’t be knocked about just to win and may well need the run.
So my call is this
FIRE SQUADRON to win without Dash of Spice.
@ 11/10. (Now 6/5)
Rory and me has two course wins in bumpers but has yet to make an impact over hurdles and it is likely that the top two in the market will run past him here.TWO TRIFECTAS
1st Fire squadron
2nd Dash of Spice
3rd Rory and me1st Dash of Spice
2nd Fire squadron
3rd Rory and meRory and me could improve massively here given his two course wins and I’d take my hat off to him if he does… But on the bare form available, fire squadron has been in very good company, has the rating and potential to be better than he has been able to show and the same goes for Dash of Spice, whose flat pedigree gives a lot of potential.

ASCENDING GLORY
Each way
CALIFORNIA GEM
Win
CG debuts for George Boughey’s yard and is another expensive recruit for AMO racing.
This does not look a race of huge depth and the form on offer of those raced is not special. The horse’s sire has had a few older offspring winning recently. Best of those with a run looks to be Ascending Glory.Huntingdon

Matchmaking
Mr Yeats
Both win
Back two here and enjoy the race!
Mr yeats attempts to stay ahead of the handicapper by stepping up in trip with a ten pound claimer.
———————————————
A very nice race for the fare.
Some honest horses and jockeys there.
Matchmaking a shade lucky to keep the race.
Took the line totally of the other horse and horse was stopped. A bigger yard and there would be a stewards enquiry and the placings reversed. Very straightforward decision there.Stewards indeed called for the first race.
Will the result be changed though, now the satchels have been emptied?1.35
HUNTINGDON
GALAHAD THREEPWOOD
Win
SAMOS ISLAND
each wayGALAHAD THREEPWOOD
The 14 lengths he was behind quid pro quo looks irrelevant now. That one has kicked on another notch in a novice since and the form reads above what is required to win this.
SAMOS ISLAND on hurdles debut is interesting under Stan Sheppard and he has an each way chance here after some good point to point runs.
Correction Samos island has had several runs under rules including bumpers and hurdles but make debut for new yard..No need to desert the following runners
Mr Yeats ( very unlucky)
Ascending Glory, California gem ( ran green)
Fire squadron.( Needed the run)
Nice big priced winner in
SAMOS ISLAND.
MATCHMAKING
the other nice winner.
And Hats off to Rory and Me!!
