Saturday Double...

Newbury 15:20 - County Zen E/W
2m, Class 1 Handicap Hurdle - Good to Soft

You're desperate for a winner, you're strike is tumbling, you are losing pounds quicker than you can say Euro Millions... so what do you do? You try and pick a winner in a 2m cavalry charge at Newbury! The Analyst turns his attention to the Totesport Trophy and the Phillip Hobbs trained, County Zen to get him out of trouble. Impressive in his two victories so far this season, this gelding is as tough as they come and teaming up with Richard Johnson they have the qualities required to win a tough handicap such as this. An attractive racing weight and a strong pace mean todays selection should go very close at a massive 14/1!!
3rd 16/1

Superb effort by a tough hurdler at the top of his game. A massive price before the off, Richard Johnson rode a fine race to knick some decent each way money for The Analyst.

Ayr 14:20 - Mortimers Cross E/W
3m, Class 4 Novice's Hurdle - Heavy

Tough progressive type, returning to a trip and ground that will suit. Sure to go close. A weak looking race that wont take much winning so it will pay to side with a something asured of getting the trip.
UP 16/1

Our selection ran well for the most part, but struggled to handle the Glue-like ground when asked to quicken. Running on one paced Mortimers Cross just failed to get in the places and complete the double.
