Fontwell 27/03

[bowles10]

3.55 Cant get away from Font here from Nicholls stable, 8 runners & looks certain for a place. Nicholls has a 50% SR places/wins here. Harry Skelton rides again after getting it up for 4th place in the M Pipe Conditional jocks hurdle at Cheltenham 2 weeks ago. The ground should be ideal & i think Nicholls may still find a couple of races for this 6yo.

Re: Fontwell 27/03 2.10 Lavender Track evens pp bog 15 pts This yard have been flying and in what could be a two horse battle I give preference to LT here. In comparison to likely market rival, CML, LT is a bit less exposed. The King runner won lto for the first time over hurdles but that was at her fourth attempt after some decent but not winning efforts. In contrast, LT won in good style on her first hurdle start to follow up from some reasonable bumper form although the King runner also had such decent bumper form so not much in it from that line. However LT was a comfortable enough winner lto to suggest that even against a fair sort in CML she can overcome her and win. 2.45 Blazing Desert 8/11 bet3 bog 15 pts Shortish price here but looks by far the most likely winner. Many of this field have question marks and BD at least has a profile which is going the right way. After three fairly reasonable hurdle efforts behind some fair sorts and probably better than reasonable in the context of this race, BD then suffered at san when he was beaten some way. However lto on quicker ground which he should get again today and given the American influence seemingly suits, he ran a good enough race to plug on into second. The form of that race got a boost when the third won afterwards and BD slightly up in trip could well do so as well.
