15.50 Utt - Billy's Prev
Race Analysis and Tissue Prices. POLIGLOTTI 9/2 – Yet to win in 23 starts. Disappointing last time in a modest race and looks to have stamina limitations. This track on good ground might help in that respect but the main positive is that his excellent stable are persevering with him. TOP ACHIEVER 15/2 - Raised 8lb for winning a very modest race at Hereford 2 starts back. Ran as though badly handicapped last time and may need to drop a few pounds before he is of interest. NORBORNE BANDIT 16/1– Irish raider who is difficult to weigh up but has looked a bit short of pace and may find this test plenty sharp enough. MERRYVALE MAN 28/1 – Grand servant for small stable over the years and posesses a willing attitude. Returns to the track after an absence of 2 years through injury and will probably need the run with his wins tending to come quickly after his previous run. His jockey is the least experienced in the field. LIBERTY SEEKER 16/1 – Formely useful in all disciplines and very well handicapped on his best form. The worry is that he has shown little since returning from injury this year and needs to re-capture his old form . ELAALA 5/1– Hit purple patch last Autumn but pulled up in November with something analysis. Did run creditably next time out in a better race than this and is a previous winner over course and distance. Sure to win more races but his fitness has to be taken on trust after a 6-month absence. SPACE STAR 9/1 – Fairly useful hurdler but chasing was always going to be his game. Didn’t really progress from smooth winning debut though and returns to hurdles after looking to lose confidence over fences following a fall at Taunton. He is on a nice mark back over hurdles and if fit after his break could run well. FUEL CELL 20/1 – Yet to win over obstacles but has run well on a few occasions. May prefer a stiffer test though and might find one or two too good here. MANGO CATCHER 11/2 – Done well over fences for small yard since coming over from Ireland. Returns to hurdles after a tumble last time and is feasibly handicapped. This track is noty ideal for his hold up style but his capable amateur pilot takes 3lb off and must be a threat if hurdling fluently. His last race over hurdles was in 2005 though. PRIMITIVE ACADEMY 22/1 – Hit with a 9lb rise for a fortunate win sporting first time blinkers at Leicester in a poor race. Well beaten 3 times since and may need to drop a few pounds before regaining the winning thread. SONIC ANTHEM 18/1 – Does not look the strongets of stayers and despite ideal conditions could find others finishing with more purpose. SUMMARY: A tricky race with doubts about most of the runners. ELAALA looks a live contender on her progressive form last year and she may be able to resume winning ways. MANGO CATCHER will be a danger to all if he hurdles fluently. However, despite a less than convincing profile - POLIGLOTTI may be able to finally break his duck. SPACE STAR is interesting at bigger odds off a good mark.
