Jump Racing ~ 10th July

Southwell 3.20 Mischief Man 0.75pt EW - 9/1 Coral, 15/2 VC Jumped with more fluency when winning 21f handicap chase at Cartmel last August. Didn't run too badly last month over 2m and return to further will suit. 3lbs lower and on a handy mark with jockey's 10lb claim here. Could be the one to beat carrying feather weight. Stratford 2.30 Spock 2pt win - 5/2 Corbett WH Saskompliq 1pt win - 16/1 gen Spock was a lucky winner lto, but he wasn't far away from Life Of A Luso, who won again since and not being raised by the handicapper looks rather lenient. Saskompliq was outclassed by a Nicholls horse lto, but he still ran ok and the form of his previous 3rd looks pretty strong. 1 and 2 are very decent sorts and the 4th won since. Off 112 with very good claimer on board, I think the price on offer is big. Stratford 3.30 War Party 1pt EW - 4/1 gen Unlucky at Aintree, where he just couldn't go past Sunday City in the final furlong. He was almsot brought down early in the race though and spent a lot of energy catching the leaders. Last time traveled really well here, but didn't stay 2m4f. Back to 2m and Sunday City franking the form since, I think he can reverse the Aintree placings. Few other very interesting runners, but War Party hasn't stopped improving and trainer is in cracking form.

Re: Jump Racing ~ 10th July Perth 2.10 Glimmer Star 13/8 Blue Sq Every runner Gordon Elliott sends to Perth is worth a look and although the price is pretty short I'm taking a chance on Glimmer Star. He finished second in a bumper on his last run at Down Royal to Clondaw Warrior which went on to win another bumper just a few days ago. This also looks a pretty weak race so he won't need to be brilliant to win it.
