NORTHERN - Wetherby
4.20 Handicap Hurdle - 3 miles - Class 5 - 17 run - Good to Soft
There are 3 in the TRACKER here, September Daisy was disappointing last time after making a jumping error but may revive, Dillarchie is a much shorter price but has been off for 160 days and may be best watched. IF you want a small e/w on the other Tracker horse SONGBIRDS TALE, I think you might get a fun run for your money. The overall form is not great but this Mare ran very well at this time last season and we love to follow Mares at times when their hormones are clearly conducive to delivering their best, worth a small e/w poke at nice odds purely on that basis.
Many others have sporting e/w chances but the one that stands out and jumped off the page was STORM FORCE ONE, its got a very good Course and Distance record when handicapped around the high 70's, it ran a better race here last time and looks to be running in to some form and off a mark of 75 it'll be disappointing if its not in the money. BRAGANZA BOY looks the most likely of the recent winners to go in again and I'll be disappointed if its not winning this as I prefer it to Joanna I'm Fine and Fiadh. The other one I can't ignore is CLASSIC LADY who makes a belated Handicap debut but whose 3 miles P2P form with a few horses who have gone on to win Hurdles and Chase races off much higher marks suggests it could be "thrown in" here.
TIPS (1) Storm Force One / (2) Braganza Boy / (3) Classic Lady

4.55 Handicap Chase - Cl 4 - 3 miles - 17 run - G/S
A pair of Trackers here and I want to invest in both GENTLEMAN DE MAI has some good 3 mile P2P form and its most recent placed run over the trip has been well franked. At bigger Odds (may be a smaller stake) COSMIC OUTLAW finally goes over fences with some very decent hurdles form and has always looked the type to be better over the larger obstacles.
A whole host of these frankly could run well, revive or enjoy the conditions and of them Ballynagran, Kaphumor, Mad About Sally and Not Sure would be the ones most feared.
ANGLERS CRAG is slowly getting the hang of the game and looks like a classic Pipe improver and another to may be have a smaller stake on is GRANGE RANGER whose overall form is not great but who clearly likes it here with Course and Distance and Course wins.
TIPS (1) Gentleman De Mai / (2) Anglers Crag / (3) smaller stakes with enhanced places if you wish on 9 Cosmic Outlaw @ 20/1 + 5 Grange Ranger @ 18/1 (in that order)
