Starting at Newcastle where Holoko Heights was given a lot to do in the 3.20. Despite being held up way off the pace by Jamie Spencer he picked up well to get into a challenging position a furlong out- no easy task in the ground. The horse didn't receive the cover I believe he needs as Spencer was forced to challenge widest of all in the straight, if positioned and produced correctly this horse will hose up in the the grade.

Mark Of Meydan travelled well on handicap debut in the 4.30 before finishing 5th. I think this horse is capable of better and could put in an improved performance next time out. There was good money for Business Class in the same race but he was beaten very early.

Tryst looked potentially well treated on his handicap bow but never looked to be going well in the 4.05 at Newmarket. Not one to be written off though and I'm still confident he will pay his way this season.

If You Knew Suzy was travelling well in front rank (7.00 Ponty) before pulling up sharply. Calling Victory backed off the blinkers in the same race while Cheers For Thea was a little disappointing.

Open Sesame was huge price to complete a hat-trick in the 8.50 at Haydock. The generous price surely stemmed from the apparent uncertainty to handle the softer conditions. Having watched the horse thought there was every chance of him handling easy ground and therefore deemed him as value. He won nicely getting and it got a little of dough back.
