NAP TO STRUT HIS STUFF

1.45 Ludlow Super Snipe has improved with each start, but notably last time out when second to the long odds-on Southfield Stone at Taunton.

He was no match for the winner but he put in a good shift and seemed to appreciated the better ground which he gets again today.

A starting handicap mark of 120 doesn’t look unreasonable and he should also appreciate the step up in trip.

Richard Johnson on Muthabir is an eye catching booking and the Richard Phillips trained runner faces an easier task then he did at Kempton last time out.

2.00 Southwell Mr Strutter won with a fair bit in hand two weeks ago and managed to do what a lot of his rivals are struggling to do – win a race.

Oliver Stammers takes over in the saddle with his 7lb allowance negating the resulting penalty of the same amount.

The combination should account for First Excel who was second a fortnight ago and is a professional bridesmaid.

Point Zero is a maiden after 13 starts and only beat one home here on New Year’s Day when sent off favourite.

At bigger odds, the filly Liamba looks over-priced. She ran well on her only previous start here and at 10.5, at the time of writing, I can add her in as a WIN 20 insurance against the nap.

4.10 Chelmsford My man in the long grass warns that well-drawn Majestic Dawn looks capable of going in first time. The obvious pair that headed the early market look mediocre.

Originaire has been two steps down on the podium for three consecutive races, with cheekpieces failing to stop the sequence (now 333).

The Meter was allowed to dominate in a slow time here in October, with the 150-1 SP indicating the surprise to connections.

A Dawn Approach related to Group winners on the dam’s side, Majestic Dawn has been working well, and was a market order with the bookies last night. His Paul Cole stable is well known for first-timers.
