Wicked Uncle never looked like being out of the first three and under a strong ride from Jimmy "job jockey" Fortune got up to record a good victory at the highly rewarding odds of 6/1!

Be wicked and take all the bookies money.
The 5.00 at Lingfield presents us with our strongest bet so far this year. Wicked Uncle must be supported at likely odds of 9/2.
Almaty Express will try to make all under Darryl Holland, a difficult thing to do at Lingfield on the polytrack. While Wicked Uncle may have appeared slightly one-paced round here in his recent outings, he looks a cut above these. The way the race will be run is likely to suit him and he is a near certainity to make the frame. At his best when carrying lots of weight against inferior rivals - he finds himself in that position today.
Suggested Bet:
5.00 Lingfield
5pts E/W Wicked Uncle

A little one paced.....
True Magic could only finish fourth in a tightish finish which Ashes was always holding. A step back up to 6 furlongs would probably help, but there were no excuses today and the three that finished in front of True Magic were my three dangers!

Bit of magic on the polytrack.....
The 4.10pm at Wolverhampton is a 5 furlong 20 yards fillies only handicap and quite competitive at first glance with several of the runners in good recent form.
I have been waiting for True Magic to reappear since she did me big favour when winning the last time I visited Dunstall Park. That was her first start of the year and after having a decent break of 37 days she can be expected to be come here back in the same form. The drop back to 5 furlongs today shouldn't be a problem and the inside draw of stall 1 is a bonus. Jockey Graham Gibbons has impressed me greatly and a quick look at his jockey stats suggest he is a better sprint rider than most.
Main dangers in the race include Ashes, Hello Roberto and Sahara Silk. Ashes seems to have a bit of seconditis and is slowly creeping back up the handicap without winning. A hard race in the slog at Musselburgh might have taken the edge off her and I'm happy to pass on her. Hello Roberto has hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks, but this is another slight step up in class and a place is her likely position at best. Sahara Silk is another who has crept up the handicap for a couple of placed efforts. She is not easy to win with and with this step up in class again a place would be the best I can see for her.
At a probably 7/2 True Magic represents a confident win bet. I'm hoping Graham Gibbons can stalk the pace - which isn't likely to be too strong with no confirmed front-runner and set True Magic alight down the straight to make it 2 from 2 this year.
Suggested Bet:
4.10 Wolverhampton
3pts Win True Magic
