3 poor meetings today

3 low level meetings today, but at least we have some racing on turf again- over jumps at Fontwell. Fontwell is a tricky track and it is a good idea to follow course specialists here. One obvious example is Wild Ground (Kevin Bishop/ James Best who runs in the stayers handicap chase at 16.40 CET. She has won 3 times over this CD since December and we would love to see the old girl win again. However she is on her highest ever mark at the age of 12, so it is not easy. Her stable companion Peut Etre Sivolas (Hadden Frost) has only run once (and was pulled up) in the last 2 years, but is much better handicapped and also goes well here, as does Princely Hero (Chris Gordon/ Tom Cannon), who is 9 lbs better off with the mare for less than 4 lengths and is therefore our selection. Otherwise we expect Venetia Williams and her stable jockey Aidan Coleman to land a short-priced double here with Sustainability at 15.40 and Jupiter Rex, who is going for a quick six-timer half an hour la ter and appears equally at home over sticks and over fences.
It is difficult to enthuse about the 2 all-weather meetings, although there are possibly some interesting newcomers in the 10 furlongs maiden at 15.50 at Lingfield, among them Warrigal (Jeremy Noseda/ Ryan Moore), whose dam is out of the top German mare Wurftaube. Thomas Brown and Robert Tart are the two big apprentice discoveries of the winter and we expect them both to score here, on Andrew Balding´s Desert Donkey at 16.50 and Brendan Powell´s Wordiness an hour later respectively.
At Southwell, Thorpe Bay (Mike Appleby/ Darren Egan), twice beaten in a photo-finish here within the last week, can make it third time lucky at 16.30. A course specialist here who could run well at a big price is Calculating (Mark Usher/ Neil Callan) at 18.00; he has not won for almost 2 years but is now on a very seductive rating as a result.
