Tuesday Double...

Sedgefield 18:35 - Willie Pep
2m, Class 4 Novices' Chase - Good, Good to Soft in Places

A decent 2ND to Deep Purple at Ascot last time out, Willie Pep sets the standard and on his hurdles form looks the one to beat on his chasing bow. Charlie Egerton & Tony McCoy is combination to always keep on your side and the Chaddleworth based trainer, knows the time of day when it comes to his novice chasers. Interesting that he starts his gelding off here at Sedgefield, this looks to good to miss.

New Selection -

RIPON 15:30 - High Curragh
UP 4/1

Un-suited by the eventually heavy going, it wasn't so much of a surprise to see him out of the places on that type of ground but actually taking his chance in the line up in the 1st place. With what seemed like hundreds of non-runners all over Britain today, our summer weather is not really helping, is it!

Sedgefield 19:35 - Compromiznotension
2m 1f, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good, Good to Firm in Places

Decent enough on the flat for trainer Ian Semple, Compromiznotension has been slightly frustrating over timber, however it looks as though his present trainer, Howard Johnson looks to have found an ideal opportunity to get his 5 year old off the mark. A repeat of his 2ND last time out at Wetherby will be good enough to take this under the rejuvenated Denis O'regan.
2ND 1/3F

April Fool's Double...

Wetherby 14:40 - Compromiznotension
2m, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Soft, Good to Soft In Places

Unlucky not to win last time out this brown gelding ploughed through the last to give away his advantage, only to rally back and go down by a neck. With some useful form on offer with the likes of Marsam and Halla San, The Analyst expects Howard Johnson's charge to figure highly in today's race.
2ND 6/4

Sent into the lead from the start it was clear that Denis O'Regan wanted to stretch his rivals and see what they had got. However rounding the paddock turn the selection veered violently right and the jockey did well to keep him in the race. Compromiznotension soon got back to take control, however as they quickened down the home straight he just didn't find that extra gear and was left in a staying on again 2nd.


Southwell 16:45 - Benandonner
1m, Class 2 Handicap - Standard

It's not often that you'll find The Analyst taking a trip to the sand however with quite an attractive looking class 2 race on offer, why not! The selection ran a creditable 2ND in the Spring Mile at Doncaster behind the Peter Chapple-Hyam trained 'Don't Panic' who absolutely hacked up and looks and animal to follow! With good form on the all weather in the past and looking favourably treated at the weights today have a go at the son of Giant's Causeway.
WON 6/4

Galvanised to the front Benandonner was never to see another rival! Travelling sweetly throughout he was momentarily taken on by the Dandy Nichols runner up, but held on well at the line to score by a tidy neck.
