Boris Grigoriev in my view looks a sprinter, and his one good run this year was in a 6 Furlong Listed Sprint that has worked out very near top class. His run there in 6th would make his mark here of 85 look very enticing were it not for a number of poor runs since (Although mostly over further). Last year he ran another great race in a Group 3 at the Curragh on Soft Ground when 3rd behind 2 decent stalemates. Given the few factors in his favour here in that he is bottom of the weights, has come down considerably in mark and goes on soft, along with the fact he has a proper jockey on today all leads to the hope that today might be a going day. 50 on Betfair looks worth a bet just in case

Halla San looks a very solid place bet in this race. He is down to a reasonable mark will certainly stay and go on the soft ground and has been running well this year apart maybe from his last run. This ground could find out a lot of this field today and 9.0 to place on Betfair looks about double his real odds of making the first 4. I’ll have to have a small min bet for the win just in case.

Classic Colori, I tough would be shorter for this race, she ran an eye-catching race last time out on soft ground and the extra furlong here will only help. She has a long losing record but I’m not seeing a lot in the opposition today and 7/1 looks at least 2 points too big.

Doncaster Rover has proven softer ground form, and with only 3 runners in this race its likely to be a slow enough pace which will suit him as he hasn’t been this far before. He’s against a horse that’s too short in the betting with a bit to prove and one with no Soft Ground form. 5/1 with Stanjames in this race looks value .

2 Points win 5/1 Stan James

Jedward was heavily backed last time but ran a poor enough race. He does however have plenty of good 6 furlong form on soft ground in Ireland , and Chester doesn’t suit every horse, so I’m going to draw a line through that. He must be doing something right at home to have been backed last time and hopefully hell repay that faith today at a decent price.
