Uttoxeter 3.20

 

A few here who are definitely out of form but who have the ability when things click.

 

Doctor Parnassus for the Skeltons has been clobbered. I think off this sort of mark but will find a level and I've added to the TRACKER for that reason.  Ballybegg has form figures of PP1PPP7 so would be a surprise winner and may need Heavier Going to deliver another win out of the blue for Kerry Lee. Better getalong won last February off a mark of 110 at Carlisle, runs off 119 here with a 7 lbs Claimer and may just need the run but one I fear in the final shake up. Nickle Back from a yard with an incredible strike rate when the horses are running well and this is another danger as it's got a great engine but just pulls too hard. It will slip a field one day and vanish and not get caught but I just hope it's not today. 

 

Kincardine is a Royal runner for Henderson and lacks experience and was inexplicably poor last time so best watched although I doubt connections will be in attendance. Ilanz gets a 12lbs penalty for a nice win in a moderate race with a 7lbs Claim but at the price didn't appeal and Sayaadam too is progressive but disappointed abit last time and the price looks skinny on that basis as it does for Fine Casting at about 5/2 but with an 8lbs penalty.

 

I am keen to look for better value in a race of this type and think that BOLD PLAN who had a hat trick last season and is now slowly coming back to a competitive mark and full fitness could be the one to strike , I'm really keen on Peejaybee back Hurdling off a very competitive mark too with wins off 121 and 129 and Hughes booked but he was third pick so just missed out to one at a BIG price in ERNESTO. This one has Course and Distance winning form on Good ground off a mark of 113, the Going is key and off a mark of 110 it was irresistible for me at the price and although there are more logical picks on current form, this one did literally jump off the page the more i studied.
