345 Exeter

Market Road 7/2 Betfred/Sky/Betway 

Amateur Riders races is not usually on top of my list of races to look at but I do like the chances of Market Road here who will be ridden bu the trainers daughter Isabel Williams. Last time out there is no doubt she got into the wrong place early on and never recovered and ended up running on when it was all over. I trust she will not make the same mistake twice and in fact i'm sure she will make amends on that score, whether the horse will be good enough is another question.

The paper favourite is Gonnabegood who we beat by 27 lengths here the last time we met, 7lbs worse off now so happy to try and confirm the placings here.

2:50 Southwell GHASEEDAH 6/4 Bet 365

Winning in good style last time here in a maiden, Ghaseedah takes a step down in class for her 2nd run in Handicap company, which also comes with a 4lb lower mark than her first try in a handicap company. Although this is Southwell and anything can happen, it was this venue that saw her improvement. No frost forecast so they should be no deep Harrowing. Timmy Murphy keeps the ride and he quoted that she handled the surface very well.
