Uttox and Cartmel and Donny
I've just noticed that DAN DE LION did not take his chance at Uttoxeter today after all; no idea why not just yet.
As regards tomorrow's racing, Richard Guest has a runner at both Cartmel over the jumps and Doncaster on the Flat. BALLYBOE BOY will be looking to build on his slight improvement last time out when lining up in the 17.5f Novices' Handicap Hurdle which opens Cartmel's barbecue meeting (for which, incidentally, it has never yet not rained!). It's only a Class F and the opposition isn't great, so there could be a place finish in the offing if he takes to this singular racecourse. Larry McGrath rides.
Unfortunately REEDSMAN missed the cut in Cartmel's Selling Handicap Hurdle, a maximum field of 16 having been declared for which the bottom weight is rated 77 - Reedsman currently runs off 74. This would have represented the first outing of a Richard Guest Racing Club horse since the Club was re-ignited a couple of weeks ago. However, the delay is only temporary, because - praise the skies - FIENNES has finally managed to get into a race! He is one of a maximum field of 20 to line up for a pretty grisly 0-55 Apprentice Handicap at Donny, and for once there have been enough defectors from the original entry to let him in with his very lowly rating of 37. Time to test Richard Guest's assertion that this is as ludicrously low and totally exploitable a mark as he says it is.... the horse will be blinkered for the first time, but no jockey has been declared as yet.
