BBOTD 2nd Aug

3.00 Catterick Couldnt touch Northern Bolt with the ground drying out rapidly across the country connections may have been caught out as all his form has come on soft ground and although did win extremely well last time out and 8lb rise wouldnt be a big problem if ground was softer but just not gonna suit. Northern Central is another at the top of the market that I am not interested in, just the 1 win from 24 starts is very worrying despite his only win coming over CD he looks held at hand by the handicapper at present despite some excuses on recent runs. Galpin Junior has to be given a chance, he has been well backed on recent starts to suggest he has been working well somewhere and has shown glimmers of hope recently, 2nd to Time Medicean reads well off a 3lb lower mark, was a tad disappointing last time out but bad draw at Beverley can often scupper chances and had been rated 108 as a juvenile and has tumbled right down to 56 with yard continueing their good summer as they always do and could just have a say in this wide open event! The other of interest is Night Trade who can be given excuses for most runs this season softer ground last time out certainly not ideal and failed to stay 7f on several tries. Does have a CD win to her name in this race last year off 2lb higher mark and should appreciate the faster ground today. 1pt win Night Trade 7/1 hills

Re: BBOTD 2nd Aug 14.15 Bath Mariners Lodge - 1pt win @ sp Mariners Lodge looks well treated her under a penalty after winning well last itme out but will need to prove stamina here today over the longer trip but should do well after taking a bit of stopping past the finish at Ayr and will take all the beating
