Friday Double...

Chepstow 14:25 - Tino Tino E/W
2m 4f, Class 3 Handicap Hurlde - Heavy, Soft in Places

First run in this country too bad to be true finishing 50L behind subsequent winner Five Dream. Was backed off the boards that day (2/1 fav) so clearly thought better of at home. His breeding indicates that this step up in trip ought to be in his favour and could be a nice price to gain some compensation.
UP 11/1

Racing too keenly took it's toll as the David Johnson owned Tino Tino, never really got into the race. Although held in high regard, this maiden may show more respect for the jumping game when sent over the larger obstacles.


Catterick 14:50 - Tell Henry E/W
3m 1f, Class 3 Handicap Hurdle - Soft-Good, Soft in Places

This front running type has seems to have learnt to settle in his races and he will need to if he is to see out this extended 3 mile trip. Generally very consistent and able to act in all types of going this chestnut gelding is an exciting e/w selection this afternoon.
UP 7/1

Held up and travelling well for the most part, Tell Henry never got a blow in, when push came to shove. Perhaps suited by more cut in the ground, things seemed to happen to quickly for him even over todays 3miles.
