Monday Double...


Stratford 14:30 - Your Amount
2m, Class 4 Maiden Hurdle - Good

Alan King's, Your Amount was a reasonable 3rd of 16 behing the Nick Gifford trained Pascha Bere at Folkestone last time out. That was only the geldings 2nd run over timber and first back at the Alan King yard after a spell with Willie Musson. He had stable companion Poliglotti a further 7l's behind him on that occasion and the former is currently the 7/4 favourite for the 2nd Division of this event. Both charges look to have oustanding chances, but at a price we will go with Your Amount to get us over our normal Monday Blues.

WON 9/4f

A gutsy performance from Your Amount, who quickened nicely when asked to go and win his race by Choc Thornton. Always travelling up in the van, he led jumping the 2nd last and ran on to win by 3 1/2l from Noble Future. The Analyst was on early and grabbed 11/4 as Alan Kings charge returned the well backed 9/4f.

Stratford 16:00 - Mickmacmagoole
2m 3f, Class 4 Novices' Handicap Hurdle - Good

The Analyst likes to give his selections the chance to redeem themselves, largely because he would kick himself if they won, but also to try and prove he wasnt that far wrong in the first instance. Looking back at his previous race review, leads us to believe that both the step up in trip and drop in class are the two ingredients that that will prove our selection to be a recipe for success.
UP 9/2

Never really travelling or jumping Mickmacmagoole looks a gelding low on confidence and still suffering after a fall at Cheltenham 3 starts ago. A horse clearly with ability, Evan Williams job is now to focus his charges mind back on jumping and to fall in love with the game once more. 3 strikes?
