  1st Grand Morning 12/1 - 70 2nd Baby Ticker 16/1 - 60 3rd Dorking Boy 7/1 - 50 Not as competitve as it looked. Grand Morning was impressive with the stats. His form at Ayr is 1, 1, 2. All over hurdles and the 2nd was over half a furlong further thatn today on soft ground. Has won on heavy here and has won at 2m 6f on heavy too. He reverts back to hurdles after a poor campaign over fences reulting in a last place last time out. His hurdles for is very solid 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 9. the 9th was in a Grade 3 plus right handed and looking at his form around Left handed course like here its, 3, 1, 1, 1, PU, 4, 2, 2. where his right handed for is PU, 4, 9, 7. the 4th was last of 4. So im much happier he is on this track, distance is fine. Ignoring the 9th placed hurdle form, his one before that was 2nd at Ayr over half a furlong further rated 125. Today he is 120. And it was exactly the same grade as this. So if he comes back to form, he would have a major say here. Cheepieces applied too but i t

1st Mack The Man 25/1 - 60 2nd Miranda 14/1 - 50 3rd One True King 9/1 - 45 3rd Mick Maestro 20/1 - 45 I must admit to being disappointed as the horse i like scored 35, but it is ultra competitive. 3 horses scored 40, Natural History, Eamon De Snoic and Malaya. Seeing as Mack The Man is the outsider of the field i didnt know that at the time, and was quite shocked as he scored consistantly throughout. His form at Sandown is PU, 1. the pulled up was over 4 furlongs further and the 1 was in a Listed race on Good-soft ground off a rating of 115, today he is 128. He ran poorly last time out in a Grade 3, which is a similar level to this race. His stats at 2m exactly is 2, 1, 2, 2, his stats at half a furlong shorter is good too but anything above 2m is not good, apart from 1 where he was running well and brought down. It might be that the absolute limit to this horse is 2 miles. But my system likes him in this.  Miranda is top weight and has a very talented claimer on board. I have to admi
