The 3.45 at Naas looks to be between Taking Stock and Gagewell Flyer. The latter had some fair form in bumpers and could well make a winning debut over hurdles here.

Saturday, 6 March, 2010 – 12:06 amAlthough there are 4 jumps meetings tomorrow the cards have something of a pre Cheltenham look about them.
At Doncaster the recent Towcester winner Pearlysteps should run well in the 2.55. Sadly with only 7 runners the each way option is unattractive. Ballybriggan is the other one I would consider in this although the form of the stable would be a slight concern. Coe and Cloudy Lane are old friends in the 3.25. Coe looks a fair each way bet at 14/1. The trip should suit him. Old Mister McGoldrick should put up a bold show in the 5.10.
Up at Kelso I am quite keen on the chances of Turbo Island in the 2.30 and SA Suffit in the 3.35.
At Newbury Henry King comes from a stable in quite good form and if he runs to his best should go close in the 2.05. In the 2.35 Gone to Lunch has come down the weights a bit but recent form has not been encouraging, while in the 4.20 it will be interesting to see how Aiteen thirtythree performs. Highly regarded at the Paul Nicholls yard he is yet to live up to his reputation. Could come good tomorrow though.

After a bit of a barren spell I was glad to get back to winning ways at Taunton today with 2 winners from 2 selections. Vodka Brook is not over big for jumping fences but he has a fair level of ability and I feel he would still have won today even if his main rival in the race had not crashed out at the last.
King’s Legacy was having his first run since winning a bumper at Kempton over a year ago and is going the right way. He collared the long time leader Sir Kezbaah on the run in. The runner up was given a good ride by Edward Glassonbury. It was a good day for the Glassonbury family as Edward’s older brother Andrew won on Carrickmines at Ludlow.
Hopefully we can keep the winners flowing. At Doncaster tomorrow I fancy Alelgralil in the 3.10 and Alan Swinbank’s runner Royal Swain in the bumper at 5.25.
Miss Sarenne has disappointed over fences but should appreciate a return to the smaller obstacles in the Newbury 4.30.

Madam Mado is my best bet tomorrow. She runs in the 2.20 at Bangor rather than 5 other engagements this week.
Lord Larsson was going well when falling at Newcastle and if his jumping holds up he could go close in the 2.50.
Another that has had jumping problems is Qualypso D’Allier. He is well handicapped though if he can put in a clear round in the 4.50.
Lastly, The Real Deal has an each way chance in the 4.20. He was 4th in a better race at Newbury on his last run and is well handicapped.
