Thursday Double...

Perth 14:20 - Noble Alan
2m, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good to Soft, Good in Places

High levels of National hunt flat form were transferred into two decent efforts over the sticks, culminating in an impressive victory at Newcastle last time out. Noble Alan, has bags of potential, and the 5 year old is tipped by his experienced trainer, Nicky Richards to have a successful season. With ground and trip ideal, Noble Alan is taken to get the better of the debutant Frontier Dancer who from the Twiston-Davies yard must be respected. (Early Price 7/2)
WON 6/1

Fontwell 15:10 - Ingratitude
2m 2f, Class 4 Beginners' Chase - Good to Firm, Good in Places

This looks to be a penalty kick for the Nicky Henderson trained Ingratitude if he translates his decent hurdle form over the larger obstacles today. AP McCoy gets the leg up and looks to have a great chance of adding to his impressive 36% strike rate in the past 14 days. In the same race JE Snowdon makes his training bow and hopes to lower the colours of his former boss however the Analyst reckons that he will have to wait for another day as Lester Leaps In, is likely to trail our selection home in 2ND. (Early Price 2/1)
3RD

Tuesday Double...

Newcastle 14:50 - Noble Alan
2m, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good, Good to Firm in Places

Nicky Richards saddles the exciting Noble Alan, who looks a good thing to get off the mark over timber today. With a cloud hanging over the Howard-Johnson yard, we will take on Kealshore Boy who is not sure to be suited by the faster ground.
WON 8/11f

A thanks must go to Howard-Johnson for the involvement of his gelding Professor Higgins and the role he played as a pace maker. Graham Wylie's 2nd string set a decent clip that played right into the hands of our selection who needs exactly that to quicken from. Given a decent tow, Noble Alan, sat 3rd for most of the way round, before jumping the 2nd last in-front and after being shaken up went on to win his race by 1 3/4l.

Newcastle 16:50 - Stagecoach Opal
3m, Class 3 Novices' Handicap Chase - Good Good to Firm in Places

Sue Smiths consistent Stagecoach Opal, deserves to win a race this campaign and this looks to be the perfect opportunity. A repeat of his last performance when 4l second to the impressive Shardakhan at Huntingdon will be good enough to take todays contest.
NR
