GYTO Wednesday Notebook Double

It was every yard a winning one for NINE ELMS at Nottingham last time as he ran out a very impressive winner. The handicapper has reacted raising him 8lb but he has won off a mark as high as 57 in the past so he still has a little wiggle room. There isn’t a great deal of pace on here either so there is still potential for a soft lead which would obviously be a huge plus. Beryl Burton was denied just a neck at Redcar on penultimate start and wasn’t beaten all that far at Leicester despite disappointing. She could emerge as the main danger here if she bounces back. Lethal Touch won at Nottingham last month and didn’t disgrace herself in defeat when third at Chepstow last time. She also has to enter calculations. Star Of St Louis remains a maiden but continues to run well so might not be all that far away either.

Now he has his head in front UBAHHA may well kick on for Mick Appleby. He ran on well to score at Yarmouth last month and turned out quickly under a penalty he looks well placed to strike again. Frederick Larson keeps the ride and claims a handy 5lb again and I think connections will fancy their chances here. He is by Dubawi so is obviously bred to be a cut above this level. It took him a long time to win a race but this trainer does well with these types so it’s no surprise to see him figuring prominently in the betting. Thegreyvtrain is a C&D winner and she was a good second when back to form a week ago. If she builds on that she might be the one to chase the selection home. Mr PC stumbled at the start last time so that is worth forgiving and was in consistent form prior to that so also has to have a squeak.
