Maybe Something Later.......

There is very little to get excited about this afternoon as far as the racing is concerned. Brighton is a racecourse which I have never liked betting at and is such a unique track that it does tend to lend itself to certain horses. With the weather being a little uncertain and doubts as to exactly what the going will be it didn't take us long to swerve the meeting altogether.

There is a hideous looking jumps card at my local track Cartmel and again the ground is going to be considerably softer than stated in the forecast in the papers, following plenty of rain throughout the night and earlier today. This left the AW card at Lingfield but apart from the 5.15 race the rest of the card looked very trappy with a number of small fields and no really decent betting opportunities. The 5.15 was a race we spent some time on but it does appear to be very tough as many of the principles are making their debuts at Lingfield and trying to equate turf and AW form is not that easy. At a very big price Lopinot could run ok but whilst it is proven over C & D and on a winning mark, you wouldn't be surprised to find one or two improving past it today. The jockey booking doesn't really appeal, although she has won on 2 of her last 5 rides, but a race to watch and not one to get heavily involved in (if at all).

We do like one that is running tonight but it is touch and go whether the price is going to be big enough to constitute any value. However, we will keep monitoring the prices (as well as the weather) and update on here by 7pm if there is anything of interest.
