Newbury 29th January

[StuSimmy]

14:40 Newbury Going to oppose the favourite here with two that make their handicap debuts. Firstly Alfie Spinner won by a very easy 7 lengths in a big-field Novice event LTO over 17 furlongs at Exeter in Heavy going. Still lightly raced with only 6 runs to date so he is definately capable of better. The slight step up in trip to 19 furlongs shouldn't be a problem and neither will the Soft conditions. Nick Williams has a fantastic strike rate of 25% at the track which is another plus point. City Theatre is another that I like in this race, also lightly raced with only 5 runs to date so more progression is expected. Won LTO over the distance in Soft conditions at Market Rasen in a Novice event. The 4th placed horse in that race went on to win in a Novice event NTO and also placed in Handicap company off a mark of 125, City Theatre runs off 120 today which I think is fairly lenient and a mark he can easily win off of. McCoy on board who has a 26% record at the track and was in good form yesterday at Ffos Las with 1 win and 3 places from 6 rides which included a fantastic ride on Afistfullofpebbles. 0.5pt win Alfie Spinner @ 11/2 (Bet365 - BOG) 0.5pt win City Theatre @ 7/1 (Bet365 - BOG)

Re: Newbury 29th January Surprised this meeting thread was so dead (no rhyme intended) thought it was a fairly good meeting and finally I hit a winner over the jumps :nana City Theatre also placed at double the price (14/1).
