There were only four (4) and (5) graded races, Saturday, and they performed badly. Only one race was successful and won by the clear top rated horse.
The classic trials did not impress me as having a likely classic winner and I will not begin to work out what the form of the Newbury Spring Cup produced. All the top fancies ran poorly - especially my fancy, Muwatheeq. The ground cannot be the main reason for the indifferent display of him or the market leaders. It seems to be "one of those races." It's best not to dwell and to just accept that big field handicaps on rain softened ground sometimes produce results you never expected. We move on.
Sunday is not very attractive betting-wise. Paul Nicholls has his usual share of hot favourites but some of them have been running below par after a long season and one will probably get turned over.
Kammaan (2-40 Lingfield) is a promising maiden but will be a very short price. Dreams Jewel and Dan Tucker (5-20 Wincanton) look likely ones but are running in a conditionals event - which is not my favourite type of race. And the Stratford card looks wide open outside the non handicap races.
All in all, it does not look like I will be betting. All the best to you if you decide to bet a few.

Yesterday was one of those strange days where form did not work out as well as it normally does.
