Today’s Nap of the Day

14:20 Ayr
Catch Him Derry Silk 15
  • Age:6
  • Weight:10-10
  • Form:63312
  • OR:107
This seventeen runner 3M 1/2F handicap hurdle can go to the Dan Skelton trained six year old who looks well treated off of 107. He followed up a 2M 1/2F handicap victory at Southwell by running his stable companion Gwennie May Boy to 1 3/4L at Bangor and that one has won twice since, including at Aintree last week and is now officially rated 24lb higher. Only 5lb higher now and with conditions looking ideal this can go some way to Dan Skelton’s efforts to fight back at Willie Mullins who leads him in the trainers championship.

Today’s Nap of the Day

13:30 Newbury
Arrest Silk 4
  • Age:4
  • Weight:9-2
  • Form:2/10512-
  • OR:114
It’s Greenham Stakes day at Newbury and proceedings kick off with the 1M 4F Group 3 John Porter Stakes which has attracted ten runners. Ground on the easy side are very much in the favour of the front two in the betting, William Haggas’s Hamish who has to shoulder a 3lb penalty for his group 3 victories last year and John & Thady Gosden’s Arrest who was last seen when finishing runner up in the St Leger at Doncaster. The Gosden runners have all been seen to be needing a run this week but the vibes are strong for this Frankel four year old and he’s the pick.
