2.55 Newmarket Seagull Star - 1pt EW, 5/1 William Hill Must take on the Aidan O'Brien favourite Johann Strauss in this, he has the best form in the race behind Kingston Hill in the Racing Post Trophy but I don't think he will be seen at his best on the quicker ground here. Seagull Star made his racecourse debut in October where he won a race on this course over a mile, Johann Strauss was 4th that day. He should progress again up in trip and looks very interesting, he is a nice each way price and I don't see him out the frame. 3.30 Newmarket Heaven's Guest - 1pt EW, 12/1 William Hill Aljamaheer definitely sets the standard on form but is another short priced favourite I will be taking on. He has needed the run on his return in the last two seasons and I doubt he will be seen at his best over 6f either. Hamza is probably one to keep on side after a good run on his return at Meydan but I'm going to take a chance on Heaven's Guest who needed the run at Doncaster on his return and beat subsequent group 2 winner Moviesta over C&D last season.

Re: Longshots Racing Blog 4.25 Cheltenham Angles Hill - 1pt EW, 14/1 Coral Seems to like it around here after two good performances at the start of the season, his first when losing just 3/4 length to Thomas Crapper before stepping up in distance and finishing sixth in a race won by Sunnyhillboy. He has been running on bad ground since which hasn't suited and now down 2lbs can go well back on decent ground.
