only 2 all-weather meetings today

with the abandonment of Bangor´s N.H. card, we are left today with only two very poor all-weather meetings. Not only is the standard of racing low throughout, there are also some very small fields, so punters should keep stakes low.
At Southwell we expect Noble Citizen (David Simcock/ Georgeann Bucknell) to conform the form of last week´s CD win with Tatting (Chris Dwyer/ Shelley Birkett) at 16.10 CET. That was an apprentice race, so he has no penalty today for that convincing win. Half an hour later Maakirr (Steve Bowring/ Mark Coumbe) attempts to land a quick CD hat-trick over 6 furlongs; however he is no longer so well handicapped, and top-weight Trojan Rocket (Michael Wigham/ Robert Winston) and bottom-weight Pull the Pin (Ann Stokell/ William Carson) may be preferred. Pull the Pin had a good CD record for an earlier trainer and the Stokell/ Carson team had a winner last week.
The best betting race at Wolverhampton is the opening 5 furlongs handicap at 15.30. Veteran Trainer Milton Bradley has two runners here and both could be involved - New Decade (Adam Kirby), a dual CD winner including last time out, and Solemn (Richard Kingscote); the 9yo has not won for a while, but usually goes well here and is our selection.
