Pivoine finished one place out yesterday but Sonigino Placed 3.16 to return us a small figure and Royale Pagaille Won 3.66 to ensure a small profit on the day. Ramsees De Teillee was well beaten.

Analysis

1.50 Lingfield

There is some strange form around Il Ridoto. He was comfortably held by War Lord on his British debut at Newton Abbot but was a different proposition when  landing a Newbury handicap next time out. Although pulled up at Sandown since he can bounce back here.

2.25 Lingfield

Brewin’upastorm looked set to follow up his Aintree win when he departed at the last in the Relkeel at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, so he's well worth the chance to gain compensation and I’ll be surprised if he is beaten today.

2.50 Warwick

A decent performer in bumpers, winning a brace of listed events,. Good Risk At All badly needed the experience when turned over at short odds on his Chepstow hurdle bow and bumped into a special one at Newbury after that. Can do better here and should win this.

3.15 Thurles

Allaho will start as favourite here but he faces formidable opposition in the form of Fakir D’oudairies, who is a Top-class chaser who made an impressive winning return at Clonmel in November. Not quite in the same form when only fourth to Allaho in the John Durkan but is liable to bounce back and I fancy his chances of reversing the form here.
