12.45 Lingfield: Ready @ 4/1 Paddy Power - 4pts win

Ready gave an impressive All-Weather debut last week here at Lingfield winning a decent enough looking Handicap in pretty good style. He travelled nicely in rear but was there not in the best position as the pace was slow and as a result of that he was slightly outpaced when the pace increased considerably 3f out. He lost a bit of ground turning for home but found then another gear and produced a nice turn of foot to win with a bit of authority in the end. I'm pretty sure there is much more to come from him as he should be better over this fast All-Weather surface than over soft ground which he encountered all the season bar his debut - even though he did quite well in most of his races to be fair. I think he is the horse to beat in this race anyway as there are question marks about most of the rest of the field. Pace might be an issue in this small field tomorrow but I thought Ready has loads of speed and therefore he can win this Conditions Stakes.



18.20 Wolverhampton: Greenhead High @ 5/1 Bet365 - 3 pts win

Thought Greenhead High really showed a return to form last week here at Wolverhampton. He had the second widest draw to overcome and was bumped right after the start which surely didn't help the cause. As a result of that he had to race very wide the whole race yet he really stayed on very well on the outside in the closing stages. He didn't have a chance with the winner who won easily but he would have gone much closer and might have taken the 2nd place at least. He has a much better draw tomorrow even though stall one isn't easy either but still better than drawn very wide and he really get a big chance by the handicapper who took another 2lb off his mark which means Greenhead High can race now of 2lb below his last winning mark.
