Hills Runners

Lawn Jamil (5/1) is a horse who at one point was thought to be a smart prospect but he had his quirks and things didn't quite work out. He has been gelded over the winter and makes his seasonal appearance today in the 2:50 at Newmarket and connections have opted to run the horse in a tongue tie and have also stepped him up in trip. The horse was always considered to be a 1m+ horse and therefore they are hopeful that the increase in distance will aid his cause but he is not a straight forward horse to train and there is every chance that he will come on from the run. As far as betting is concerned he may be worth an e/w bet though, as the rest of the field doesn't look great.

The second Hills runner on the Newmarket card is Fadhaa in the 3:55 (12/1)and this horse is a real character. He lost me money a few times last season but to be honest, on the whole, he was very unlucky and was given a few poor rides. As a result connections still feel that he is not a lost cause, and could continue to progress off his current mark. He is a horse which is best when fresh and therefore connections also believe that today could be the best day to catch him although only a faithful few have had e/w punts. Personally having lost money on this horse in the past I'm going to give it a miss as far as singles are concerned but I will be having a small 0.50pt e/w double with both of the two Hills runners at Newmarket, just in case. 

The final Hills runners is West Leake Diman and he is a horse which isn't looking particularly well handicapped at the current time. He may have a small e/w shout but no one in the yard will be on him today and probably best to stay clear until he takes a drop in class. My man did give a positive endorsement for Durwaaz though which was interesting. 

Outside of his own yard today my guy said that he had heard very positive words for WATERCLOCK (3:45 Newbury) and that this would be his sole bet of the day. He very rarely backs horses which he isn't associated with as you can obviously get your fingers burnt, be we was confident that this horse was a very good e/w prospect and with that in mind I have had 2pts e/w at 11/2.
