Newton Abbott

[Gunkey]

Hmm, I was nearly tempted to try a half bet on a right little monkey over the jumps today, and that is saying something as we rarely - if ever - try the jumps. At Newton Abbott I was trying to make a case for Raslan in the 3.20 but I'm not convincing myself enough yet :\. He is a monkey :eyes and you never know when you're going to get a run with him, but at odds around 20/1 I was almost tempted. I will settle however for just hoping he runs well instead of betting on him :ok. The trip might be a little short and while he's still higher in the weights than his last win, which was very good, he has actually won off this mark so I wouldn't be too put off by that. If Timmy can get him in the mood today :nana, 20/1 looks a bit tasty :cow, but as I said I'll let him go this time :\. Any thoughts from you guys on this race?
