Saturday Double...

After a spell with Ms Whinehouse and co. The Analyst is out of rehab and looking to be back amongst the winners. Totally rehabilitated? Possibly not seeing as the first half of today's' double is on the level, however you have to be seen to move with the times and with spring round the corner, we look forward to the upcoming flat season...

Doncaster 16:00 - Vitznau
1m, Class 2 Lincoln Handicap (str) - Good to Soft

Richard Hannon is a trainer to follow early season and especially in the big handicaps. He saddles Vitznau in the first big race of the turf flat season who looks to have a very lively chance of taking the spoils if building on a promosing 2006. A winner at Epsom and Chester last year, (both in soft ground) this exciting colt will relish both the underfoot conditions and step in trip as he looks to weave his way through this talented field of 22.
UP 9/1

Not much to say about the race really! After the first few races it was clear that being drawn high was a slight advantage and so it proved. Vitznau ran ok for a first season run and i'm sure there will be more to come in the future. Travelling in mid division on the far side Vitznau never picked up with any great zest but still finished just outside the places.

Haydock 13:00 - Lease Lend
2m 4f, Fixed Brush Novices' Handicap Hurdle - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

"A chaser in the making" are the quotes coming out of the Tim Easterby camp ahead of tommorows unique Haydock Race. Lease Lend is as consistent as they come, having never finished out of the 1st 3 in any race he has completed. Pulled Up last time when looking booked for a place again, the Gelding reportedly finished lame after making a mistake at the last. Having been sound at home since, we are backing the selection to bounce back to winning ways and go in at a massive price today.
FELL 18/1

It's safe to say that The Analyst was 'sick' after watching the selection fall 2 out and in his opinion looking the sure fire winner. Having travelled beautifully throughout in the middle of the pack and with only one minor error at one of his obstacles Lease Lend moved stylishly into contention in the second half of the race. Rounding the turn for home and the selection took it up. At this point The Analyst got a wee bit excited...........well it's not everyday you get 20/1 shot with a real chance! 4lengths up and two to jump and well you know the rest, GUTTED!
