Cairnzy chipped in with an unlucky Lucky 15 for Friday.
He had three horses hit the crossbar in second place, as well as getting the one winner.
On another day, he could have easily had a couple more winners, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
That'll Do Moss 9/2 – Sandown 2.25
I tipped up a horse against That'll Do Moss on her last start at Kempton. The jockey booking that day suggested she needed the run, and she ran exactly like that.
Johnathan Burke is back in the saddle, and I think we'll see the best of her in this race, the one who ran a belter in a Grade 1 in Ireland.
If the Fairyhouse version of That'll Do Moss turns up, this is her race to lose. You can argue that the novice form isn't great, but it's the best in this race by quite a margin.
Yeld To Call 2/1 – Wincanton 12.57
Outside of the only winner over hurdles in this race, the rest don't look fantastic. For that reason, I'm taking a chance on Yeld To Call, who faded into fourth on her hurdling debut.
She was fourth on her second bumper run, with that performance being a carbon copy of her hurdling effort. She got tired after travelling nicely, but has had a wind operation since, and that could be the key to her improvement.
Kelce 5/2 – Wincanton 1.30
Back on a quick surface and back in good form, Kelce looks to be primed for a great effort at Sandown on Saturday.
If the quick turnaround isn't an issue for him, he's the one to beat, in my opinion.
The run behind Fortunate Man is a very strong piece of form. That horse was going for the back-to-back on Boxing Day, and would've been primed for that race like no tomorrow. He made the winner work hard, until the last 100 yards where he pulled clear.
Kelce is a solid chaser and has proven that he can win races at this Class, and with Conor O'Farrell selecting him over the other Mulholland runner, he gets my vote.
Three Pikes 4/1 – Wincanton 2.05
It's very rare that a Henry Oliver gamble goes amiss. Three Pikes was smashed in the betting when having Harry Cobden in the saddle last time out, finishing third at odds of 10/11F.
He has some solid form behind the likes of Breaking Cover, who has turned into a useful handicap chaser. His mark on handicap debut is very workable, especially with Rian Corcoran in the saddle, removing 7lbs, and looking like a good prospect.
He has had a little break since his last run, which isn't a concern for me. He won off a small break earlier in the year in a bumper race, so it might have been what he needed.
This isn't a fantastic race, and won't take much to win. I'd happily say most, if not all horses are on tough enough handicap marks.
