Fontwell - 24/2/08

[WoodyTHFC]

3.50 My Way De Solzen 15 pts Won WH in 2006, very good Arkle win although it would have been so interesting if TM and DPI had stood up. This season though has flopped in truth, first run not as terrible as it lived with KS and co for a while before fading on reappearance which can happen but KG run awful when King's were doing well. Has been treated for stomach ulcers like the now dead Granit Jack last season and that worked for that one. Goes over hurdles today which is interesting in line to what it does next. Decent field if not facing superstars. Ashley Brook reverting back to hurdles which it did well last season could be a darkhorse if it sparked back to form but taking a chance that King has got MWDS back to something like its best, the former WH winner can take this at a trip slightly less than 3m which might not be the worse idea for now or the long run.

Re: Fontwell - 24/2/08 3.50 It's a tricky race with so many question marks around the principal performers, but I think Refinement is a decent EW option - consistant type, ground, track etc should be OK for her.......she's probably the only one who's guaranteed to run her race and that should put her in the frame. 2.45 Omaley to beat the odds on Fav Oscar Park. He's a dual C/D winner on what is a tricky track and his jumps form is better than Oscar's. Oscar in only favourite because he was a decent hurdler, but he's an iffy jumper and worth taking on
