Cold Cold Cold

Its freezing again, cold cold at least the jockeys can get a well earned rest!!!!

Of the update horses Standin Obligation ran well at Kelso, a good 2nd, will kick on to better races as the season goes on and perhaps even the Kim Muir at Cheltenham. Desert Rat ran a blinder at Musselburgh 16/1 3rd, will win at a small track when emphasis is on speed not stamina.

Howard Johnson will send Tidal Bay to the Sun Alliance and although some of his team are under a cloud the impressive Kealshore Boy and Striking Ambition are still well on course for the festival. Watch out for Treacle Moon when she runs as she will have an each way chance wherever sited in a handicap.

Peter Monteith's Sinatas ran a great race in first time handicap country and despite hating the ground and jumping average nearly won - expect a good run in about 3 weeks. Quiciyo just needed his last run at Kelso (4th) and is still rated topclass.
