BBOTD Monday 4th

3.30 Doncaster Mr Robinson 1pt win @ 16/1 Bet365 This horse hasn’t shown much thus far in his short career but he is a brother to the talented Possol and I feel there is every chance of big improvement from him now upped in trip. This will only be his 2^nd start for trainer Tony Carroll and he is wasting no time stepping him up in trip. He is also bringing him to Doncaster where he likes to have winners and has a good record of a level stakes profit of +£33.50. Paddy Brennan takes over from a 5lb claimer, which is a positive and he and Tony Carroll are both in good form at the moment. Mr Robinson gets in here off a light weight and he is open to plenty of improvement with just 5 runs over hurdles. Ground should pose no problems and I think there is every chance he could be well treated off 87 now upped to 3m. Would like to see some support for him but I think he will run much better than recent outings.

Re: BBOTD Monday 4th 15.20 Wolverhampton: Yungaburra @ 5/1 Bet365 This is a really poor race but Yungaburra stands out, no doubt. He's not getting any younger but he really is thriving at the moment, demonstrating his well-being with excellent performances in the last weeks. Just nine days ago he was probably a rather unlucky loser at Lingfield, travelling like a dream still hard on the bridle turning for home, Franny Norton looked to have loads of horse beneath him but simply didn't find a gap to unleash all the power this horse got. Only 1/2f out a gap finally opened, too late of course. This form looks very strong with the runners-up and 3rd place horse having already won subsequently.Yungaburra ran a huge race before that at Wolverhampton as well, finishing in good fashion from the back landing the the runners-up spot on a day when the track conditions made it difficult for horses coming from the rear of the field to quick and gain ground. The winner of that race won another one subsequently btw, franking this form. Yungaburra didn't get up in the mark for either run which is fair enough but obviously lenient as he's just 2lb above his last winning mark (won here at Wolverhampton last September with a bit in hand off 48). I'm very confident about this horse's chance in this race here tomorrow, only slight worry is the wide draw and that these races with that many runners can get a bit messy sometimes here around Wolverhampton. But as long as he gets a clear run he won't get beaten I feel.
