[The Equaliser]

A difficult day for racing today.  Catterick is off.

1.50 Bang Fishkhov currently 5/6 to Evens.  Favouritism seems to be based on how this horse shaped last time out.  Not good enough for me.  I have risked £2.30 at 11/2 on Penny For A Pound = Poss return of £14.95

3.20 Bangor The Glancing Queen.  It should win. Currently 1/6 So I'll let the pros who can make money on such short priced favourites fill their boots.  No bet

1.00 Font Conkwell Legend.  Was trading at 2's top 9/4 last night .  Now the best price seems to be 5/4.  There looks to be at least three other live contenders so using the logic of @richard-westwoodtaking a short price seems to border on lunacy

2.00 Font Umbrigado.  should win.  However, taking a best of 4/6 where Up The Straight could give it a good run for its money doesn't seem to be a value bet to me.  Oddly enough Up The Straight does look to be at a value price.  Don't know how @richard-westwoodwould respond to that but I feel that Umbrigado will win so I won't play.

3.00 Font Belle De Manech carries a penalty for its last win and is no world beater imo so taking odds on about its chances doe not look like value to me.  I had a small wager on Midnight Ginger but I am trying to lay it for a nil liability as it is completely friendless in the market

4.00 Font Jazz King has apparently hinted at ability and is trading at a best price of 5/2.  I can count at least four other live contenders so that is not enough for me to have a bet

4.55 Chelm Trepidation I have bet £6.30 at a generous 7/4 = a possible return of  £17.32.  I have had a saver of £1.10 at 6/1 on Fact Or Fable which in theory should beat it.  Money has come for M Footsteps but I can't see it winning (yet!)

All the rest of the graded races seem to have been stitched up with odds on prices so I'll pass on those

Total stakes £9.70 (excluding me trying to trade out with Midnight Ginger for £2 at 6.0)

Good luck to all sailing today
