UK/IRE Week 24/06/2016

R2 Worcester Easy Street. Unbeaten in two runs over fences and is improving rapidly. Will have no problems with today's conditions and could still be ahead of the handicapper despite a hefty rise in the weights. 7/4 or better is a decent price in this small field.

Only caught the end. Did Easy Street run?

No Easy Street a non runner

Withdrawn just before the start.

Guys, get onto Hard to Handel in Carlisle, been following this one and I think will give a good showing. Currently 4/1

Moore should win last at Salisbury 9/10 fair price

R5 Worcester Red Hammer. Only just scrambled home in a three-runner race last time, but the second horse (who was favourite) is very useful. Should appreciate the quicker ground this afternoon and is likely to get a good tow into the race from his main rival, Mr Kit Cat, before using his turn of foot to pounce late. 15/8 is a fair price in an uncompetitive race.

Not even placed

Hard luck

Try one more for today. R5 Naas Pat Harkin (small) E/W. Is a consistent sort who ran very well under this rider two runs back. Won't mind the cut in the ground or the slight drop in trip and has a decent draw. Can hopefully make the first four in this weak handicap and 16/1 (Bet365 & William Hill) is too big - will go off shorter.

R2 Leopardstown Schubert. Isn't really progressing and is the type of horse I would normally look to take on, but he still sets a fair standard and if he is ever going to win a maiden, this will be the one. Only has likely favourite Midnight Crossing to beat in this really weak race, but she ran poorly last time and the addition of blinkers after such a dismal effort is a concern. Schubert is drawn in pole position, will appreciate the good ground and this is his big chance. 9/4 or better is a fair price.

Threw it away - one to avoid from now on.
