Jump racing ~ Saturday 24th March

2:40 Newbury: Florafern 1pt win 11/1 Betfred Oliver Sherwood has done well in this race in the past and there is a chance Florafern has been campaigned with this final in mind. Her form has been solid and last time out she beat Wishes and Stars, who reopposes today, comfortably at Exeter. Although a pound out of the handicap Florafern should go well and this extra distance is likely to be in her favour on her first venture in to handicap company.

Re: Jump racing ~ Saturday 24th March 3.30 Kelso - Shadrack 13/2 Paddy Power - 2pt Win This horse is a proper battler and the form of his previous win in a C3 novice handicap has stood up well with the 2nd place horse coming 2nd off 130 in its last 2 runs (1 of which was a 2l 2nd to Bellvano who won at the festival). Shadrack races off of 127 and should have the benefit of a small break to freshen him up and I think he has a few pounds in hand. He doesnt appear to be ground dependant having won on soft and GF against some market rivals that I think have some questions to answer (Time Out has only beat rivals officially 10lb+ lower by a head LTO and would probably prefer a little further, Bene Lad preferring longer and possibly softer, Mr Syntax high enough in the weights & preferring further). Freddie Brown could be an interesting one as Im not sure what to make of the form.
