Top Tips 5/5/13

Al Jamal

3:10 Newmarket - Gabriels Lad 8/1 e/w

Only been out of the first 3 once, the track will suit and although i think he might prefer some cut, i do not think the ground will be of issue. This track and distance suit and for 8/1 i think he is cracking value

3:25 Hamilton - Smoothtalkingrascal 5/2 (nap)

I took note of him last time because he impressed me very much. Just couldn't get out and when he did he flew and just couldn't catch the winner. I wouldn't say this is easier, it's a step down in class but if he runs like he did in his last 2 races then he will take this easily.

3:35 Salisbury - Al Jamal 7/2

I produced a list for The Novice Tipster Club on horses to follow, and Al Jamal was one of those. Impressive on her debut, she is very highly thought of and i expect her to do very well this season

3:50 Newmarket - What A Name 5/1

Reasons are on the Blog under 1000 & 2000 Guineas - My Thoughts

5:10 Hamilton - King Of Paradise 7/1 e/w

Ran 3 times at Hamilton, stats are 1, 1, 9. Last run here was in a class higher over 1f further, and clearly that extra furlong was too far. Return to distance, only 2lb higher in the handicap, but his last win was on this ground and in this class, so 7/1 looks big to me



A couple of horses of interest

4:40 Sligo - Chiltern Hills SP - Ruby Walsh goes there for just this ride
5:50 Sligo - Blow The Doors Off SP - horse is highly thought off
5:00 Newmarket - Magic Of Reality 7/2- ground was a bit tacky last time out and ran green, expect improvement
2:20 Salisbury - Scatter Dice 10/1 e/w - Needed his last run back from a break and i took a note, as should come on from that.
