Saturday Double...

Uttoxeter 13:50 - Prideus
2m, Class 2 Novices' Handicap Hurdle - Good to Soft, Soft In Places

Friends with the owners of the exciting Prideus, The Analyst looks to get back to winning ways with todays double. Running for the in-form combination of Alan King & Richard Thornton, Prideus looks the class animal in the field and should score readily today. With stable mate Zilcash being left in the field, our selection gets in with a feather weight of 10st 2lb. This talented 4 year old, is a chaser in the making but has more than enough quality to pick up prizes over timber like this on the way.


Uttoxeter 14:20 - Stagecoach Opal
3m, Class 2 Novices' Handicap Chase - Good to Soft

Stagecoach Opal, deserves to win a race of this nature and look as solid selection off a light racing weight. Only 2lb higher than when last scoring over fences, Sue Smiths gelding will take all the beating if reproducing his effort last time about behind the progressive Shardakhan.

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.
