Mutamaded 3/1 Betfair
Nice little handicap here and no less than 3 last time out winners. I like course winner Mutamaded who is up just 4lbs for beating Mordin 9 days ago. To me the race has one or two who like to be handy and Mutamaded can hopefully come off the pace and pounce late.

we really giving Swashbuckle another go..? 
ah wth, why not. gotta come good eventually  

Here are my ramblings as I try and find my Nap for tomorrow
Thirsk 3.55
Helovaplan 
Open to improvement after just nine runs, he is in form after a decent 3rd of 10 off the same rating at Musselburgh lto. Sure to improve for the pipe opener and also a CD winner. Most of the other are out of form except the main danger Midnight Macchiato who could push Helovaplan close. 

Thirsk 5.05
Carlton Frankie
This looks a lot easier than the hot 5f dash he took part in at York on Wednesday. He finished 4th there, it looks like he has improved form 3-4yo, he gets his ground again and has no ratings increase.  5/1 Bet365
Newmarket 5.35
Mr Pocket looks thrown in on the evidence of what he has achieved previously.  Winning last time out he has been raised to a rating of 74 but defied a rating of 76 to win at Bath last year. 3/1 Skybet
Doncaster 5.50 
Clenymistra 
Won first time out last season so make go well again. Decently handicapped and well handicapped if improving from 3-4yo. Looks like stable's second string as David O'Meara's Ingleby Hollow is current favourite, however the horse doesn't know that. Snookered looks the main danger to me. 

Doncaster 8.50
Ma Fee Heela
Supremely well handicapped due to putting in some below par performances. However I think that the softer ground doesn't suit him as well as G-F. He has been running against better horses than these so the slight ease should assist him. Usually ridden off the pace, this may help him down the straight at Doncaster.  The cheekpieces are re-introduced here which also may bring about some improvement.  This is his third run for David O'Meara who goes well here and was well backed lto. 13/2 Bet365

Uttoxeter 8.05
Get Ready Freddy
Won a chase off a 100 late last season, resumes off 87. CD winner, trainer in form.  Might need the race. 
3/1 PP
Bangor 2.50
Equus Millar 
Came good last time, can't see the extra weight stopping him against this lot.
7/2 PP

140 Bangor
Swashbuckle 9/4 bet365
Going to give Swashbuckle one last chance to get it right over hurdles. I think his form is better than it looks and last time was a beaten favourite. That race at Hexham was ruined by the low sun which led to many hurdles being taken out and it turned into a sprint. Blinkers have been fitted for the first time and looks to have Aardwolf to beat.

Placed third
RT +14.85

5.40 bershire spirit 16/1 WH 1pt EW

445 Newbury
Kings Proctor 5/2 PP
Tough cards on Friday for me and have settled for King's Proctor as a Nap after a very good run at Chester in better company last week. Due to go up 9lbs next week so is an obvious contender and the Mark Johnston colt has been kept busy with 3 runs already this season and has been in the first 3 in all of them. I like the booking of Richard Kingscote here and can back to winning ways.

Leg Lock Luke 3/1 bet365
Nice little handicap at Warwick and i'm keen on the top weight Leg Lock Luke who i noticed running much better than his finishing position last time out in a better race. The Tizzard yard is still going well and the booking of James Bowen is a big plus.

405 Chester
Kachy 6/4 Hills
Despite the wide draw I think Kachy will be hard to beat here. He is perfect for Chester and has won here twice previously. The yard love to have winners here and this will have been the plan for sometime.

6:10 Chelmsford TADBIR 5/1 PP
This looks a good race and chance is given to Tadbir. He was green when Winning here last time but did it nicely. More improvement is expected and although stepping up in trip may not be ideal, a big run should be on the cards.

Chester 335
Idaho 11/10 Hills
Only 6 runners for the Group 3 Ormonde Stakes and Idaho should have little difficulty if he turns up in decent form. You never can tell with the Ballydoyle horses but he's a few pounds in hand of these at his best so we have room for manoeuvre.
