Wednesday the 21st of November...

15.00 Lingfield: Aegaeus @ 6/5 Coral - 8pts win

You could argue that this is a bit of a frustration sort but he is still lightly raced and I think he has a bit of talent. I actually hoped to see him in a Handicap again as his most recent performance at Lingfield two weeks ago was one of the most eye-catching ones I've seen for a while. He travelled in rear all the time three-four wide but switched to the inside turning for home which proved fatal as he had to come through the whole field and had loads of traffic in front of him. He travelled super well but had loads to do, yet he finished bravely and strongly and just failed to win it. He looks to have a couple in pounds in hand actually and even though I don't like these maiden races I just can't see him getting beaten in this field.


16.30 Kempton: Sakhee's Pearl @ 4/1 Bet365 - 3pts win

She ran in a couple of better races recently and often gave a good account there. She was particularly eye-catching last time out at Kempton when she travalled very well in rear of the field and made eye-catchingly progress on the inside when turning for home, she was badly hampered in the closing stages though and lost every chance to finish well as a result of that. The race was never ran to suit anyway thanks to a slow pace so it was extra difficult to come from off the pace. She takes a step down in class today though, which should be in her favour and looks well in form and also weighted to win again as she's only 1lb above her last winning mark. Nathan Sweeney claims valuable 5lb again and I'd be surprised if she would go close today.
