130 Huntingdon

Sunnytahliateigan 2/1 Corals/PP

Not sure how you pronounce this one but he should be thereabouts in what looks a pretty weak handicap. After showing nothing as a novice he struck at the first time of asking once switched to handicaps in the Spring. Had a pipe opener at Chepstow in October to give this young rider a sighter and finished 6th (wrong track/wrong trip) Improved last time to finish second at Sandown and looks to have found a nice opportunity here. I think this horse is better than his mark and the trainer is 'placing' him well.

5:00 Dundalk FLAWLESSLY   5/1 Bet victor

Been improving steady over the last couple of runs winning last time out here over 5F.

It was a good performance and the jockeys claim helped with been out of the handicap. Luke McAteer rides tomorrow with a 10lb claim to help and another bold show looks likely. (overcome poor draw last time and another tomorrow evening but that dont worry me)
