    Looks a fair chance will make his reappearance in the Sky Bet Chase on Saturday.

    Still soft ground there, but could dry out. Been a market mover today which is interesting, currently 10-1.

    He's not really a market mover, Pb.

    His lower price merely reflects the adjustments to the market required by the withdrawals of several around the 10/1 mark.

    What a cracking run, just getting mugged for the place money.

    Lovely trial for the spring festivals

    Couple of Flat horses to follow this season

    Both Godolphin owned and trained by Charlie Appleby

    Brundtland

    Key Victory

    Both won Newmarket maidens on the same card last October. Key has always been considered a class act, but Brundtland has really wintered well I am reliably informed.

    Debuts tomorrow at Newmarket in the Wood Ditton [2.25]

    Opening show of 6-1 with Paddy Power who are paying 4 places, so in what looks a decent race should reward each way support

    Well that was nothing to get excited about, only 11th!

    Not knocked about though by Dettori, and will improve for the run and a step up in distance

    Raa Atol is one to note after his debut yesterday. Wasn’t touched at any point but was gagging to get going. He may well be pattern class imo

    Sea Of Class

    Though she was beaten on debut in a race which so far is not working out,do think this is a horse with a very nice future and is in very good hands to achieve that being trained by William Haggas

    Two horses that have caught my eye this season -Elysees Palace trained by Mark Prescott went to Dundalk to win a maiden and then won a handicap at Newcastle staying on late and grinding it out -I could see him being a massive improver -possibly having a crack at one of the really big staying handicaps.
    Georgian Manor trained by Stoute ran away with a maiden at Beverley today -I'm guessing Royal Ascot could be next.

    Sun Maiden. A daughter of Frankel (and is a half sister to Midday) won at Salisbury today by 12 lengths. She may have beaten nothing but she looks to have a bit of star quality about her. And she has entries in both the Oaks and Ribblesdale.
