Monday Racing

[BillyHills]

Ayr and Plumpton over the sticks today and Wolver on the AW.

Last day of the month so an interesting day for some of the lads in the Naps comp. I'll be glad to see the back of Feb and look forward to the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals.

Today Ayr has one or two non-events but my nap runs in the 3.15. Takingrisks could be a young horse to follow especially when he goes chasing next season, hopefully he can win off 122 today.

Plumpton has the best meeting for the Placepot and as usual Gary Moore and Chris Gordon will be the trainers to watch out for. They both looks to have at least one good chance each.

Nap: 

3.15 Ayr: Takingrisks 5/2 Bet365

I like the way Nicky Richard's goes about his business and has done extremely well with two or three staying hurdlers recently; Baywing, Top Bill and Isaacstown Lad. This looks another improver and opened his account at Kelso last time out by 13 lengths. Been given a mark of 122 for his handicap debut and thats looks more than fair.

The yard have been a bit quiet since the last meeting here so lets hope that will kick start another good run.
