We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Lebowski impressive again
Memors good debut and held together well until fell fourth last.

Blakerigg
Rapid raider
Adera cross
Destiny is all
Comb tricast.

Blakerigg
Each way
Running under both winning marks for first time. Which puts him right in the firing line as a course and distance winner.
Adera cross
Small win
was running a blinder last time out in front trip now a concern. Well backed and turns out again a week later.
maiden destiny is all returns from a 500 day break.
Rapid raider last time out winner for in form yard.

[sporting sam]

Lucinda sent home the first two but I’ve come out empty handed.
Blakerigg was sending out distress signals four out but plugged on gamely while Adera cross led them nearly all the way. I’ve got to be pleased with that in a perverse way as it could have just as easily been a combination forecast. Close but no cigar.
Three out of four in the first four….

Beaten favourite last time out.
Stable not had a winner this month but some impressive placed runners at big prices
High stakes
Winning pointer who has shown an impressive attitude last time in a bumper gets the win vote.

[sporting sam]

High stakes just chinned on the line by the inform Hemmings horse, on an excellent hurdles debut.
So so close.

First Charge
3pm Kempton.
Hampered and not get a clear run. Switched twice to no avail as winner pulled away.
Good wins twice previously and likely difficult to beat if Tom listens to Hollie about her ride on him last time.
Sophar Sogood
The each way saver as the only one who has been over further and certain to go the distance

The one two three there as Hollie did indeed advise her beau how to ride this horse.
She set a sedate pace and sacrificed her chances as pacemaker turning the race into a sprint finish and there was only one winner from the turn in. Brought more horses into the race than should have had a chance. Very tactical affair.

You have to take a line and I’ve gone for the lower half of the handicap line.

Win
Big field Nottingham winner
Gets to race off lower mark here. So running below level of last run win. If adapting to all weather may run well over the six.

[sporting sam]

This field was split into four weight bands separated by just three pounds 9-2 to 9-5
The field was initially split in two by a non runner in the 9-4 band then starter for ten ran loose and was withdrawn from the same band late on. It was the top half who benefitted emphasised by late cash for halfbrother tom.
Typical I went for the Lower half of the field.
Sods law.
I’m mable was fourth.

Difficult to oppose despite the price.
Marnie James continues to fall in weight but is still above his 80s winning mark despite his 100 win in a higher class three years ago.

[sporting sam]

night on earth 🌍 Easily too good 👍 for the field but there will be a stewards as he drited across the track impeding the third and pushing Marnie James over too. Jockey should escape with a day off.. Marnie James will win at this grade soon but still needs to get to about 78.

Win
Has won 3/3 over a two year spell.
Defied a break of two years to win the middle leg.
It would be some training feat to make it four from four in three years.

Fitwood Star 5/2
A amazing training feat to win four consecutive races two of them off year long breaks and one off a two year
Three runners in the first four again.
Getting closer….

Should beat Rabat here
Uckerby or silver Bubble may make the breakthrough here.
