Morning all,
A six-point loss yesterday, mainly due to a shocker at Southwell, but both Newmarket & Exeter returned a profit, so there's improvement in the works. Nathra provided a winning NAP in the Nell Gwen, travelling pretty smoothly for the early part, but Frankie had to get to work to get her home. NB Jufn once again got off to a poor start and looks a handful. He raced very keenly in the early stages and his antics may well have cost him towards the end of the race. The 3B Golden Reign started slowly, but once Golden Horn's half-sister got the hang of things, she quickened up for a good third. She'll be one to watch out for in the future.
Today's NAP is Mister Miyagi at Cheltenham's opener. A very good sixth in the Supreme despite an early mistake, he steps up in trip after two earlier wins over 2m this season. I don't think the step up in trip will inconvenience him too much and crucially, he has won around Cheltenham before. It's a pretty hot race with plenty of good form on offer, but I think the selection will enjoy conditions and have a right good go.
The NB comes from Beverly's 3.45. Motdaw shoulders a penalty after her easy success at Nottingham last week, but that was an impressive win and although this is tougher, she should be able to follow up. The improvement on her two-year old form was significant and with the forecast rain in her favour she's take to do the double.
Finally the 4.30 at Newmarket where Royal Ascot winner Mahsoob is taken to bounce back to form. He didn't quite make it at group level last year, but he should enjoy conditions and with Paul Hanagan back on board, 15/2 is a big price.
