[richard-westwood]

just spotted a bit of value so posting up early ...... nasri 76 docofthe bay 83 open race with 17 runners so bit of a lottery but docofthebay is capable of running fast on all types of ground -last year ran an 83 on soft and recently ran a 74 first time up so now looks capable of putting in a good performance on what will be soft ground tomorrow ......generally around an 8/1 shot william hill are kindly offering at 12/1 e.w which looks very good value in comparison to others in the race ....... docofthebay 2pts e.w 12/1 will hill

Re: FLAT RACING MON 23RD APRIL 6.55 Windsor Achalas is 1 from 1 over CD and that was on soft ground and did run well last year on seasonal reappearance but still remains 10lb above last winning mark and starts this season off a 4lb higher mark than when last seen having finished placed on last 2 starts but ultimately well held so handicapper probably in charge. Knightly Escapade is lightly raced and is sure to have more to offer this season having finished last year winning on handicap debut off a 4lb lower mark, slight concern has to be the one run on soft ground last year was very uninspiring so ground major worry. Colincas Lad is likely to toe these along at a very strong pace, he goes well here 2 from 4 and acts on the ground, but recent win at Yarmouth was rather gifted to him given how much of an easy time he got out in front, handicapper reacted very harshly with an 8lb rise and this mark may prove beyond him. Honourable Knight has proved consistent this winter on the AW but looks plenty high enough in the weights now returned to turf on ground less than likely to suit. Broughton Sands isnt exposed but didnt show enough on handicap debut last week over CD to suggest this mark is exploitable just yet on ground probably a little softer than ideal. Snow Hill has to carry top weight in this handicap on seasonal debut but made a really pleasing switch to handicaps last year and to slower ground, looked a right mud lark when bolting up at Yarmouth and backed that up with 2 further great efforts including a win when last seen appeared to win with plenty in hand a 4lb rise looks fair and aslong as fully wound up could be the most progressive in this field. 3pt win Snow Hill 3/1 bet365
