A Few To Watch

A few interesting horses running today but nothing that warrants a bet. In the 350 at Musselburgh we quite like the look of Angaric, but we are a bit concerned about the draw and we don't think there's any real value to be had in what may turn out to be a tough race so we left it alone. The last race on the same card is interesting and our view is that if you like the jolly at 5/2 then you must consider Dimashq at three times the price. By the looks of the betting connections are having a go today as bigger prices were available this morning. Our overall opinion is that whilst we thought about it and discussed the race in some detail we couldn't bring ourselves to back one at significantly lesser odds than were earlier available, especially on a horse beaten as far as this one has been in its last few runs. Over at Nottingham we will be keeping an eye on a couple in the same race. The maiden over the extended mile sees one of Sir Michael Stoute's head the market and another is third best in. The two we think worth watching for future are Royal Defence (D Nicholls) and Choral Service (W Haggas). We cannot back them today on what they have achieved so far but we think both are interesting and possibly worth keeping an eye on.

Good luck if you are betting today.
