Well today was a frustrating day and I am sick I opted to put up Sahara Haze instead of Killaro Boy. It was a beautiful day at Fairyhouse today and the ground made no difference to Adrian Murray's gelding who made a mockery of his opening mark of 107. He is a big scopey type and he should make into a lovely chaser next season. Sahara Haze wasn't disgraced at Ludlow but she got tapped for toe just as the race was hotting up and she could only manage to finish in midfield. However, she is not one to write off yet and she is one to watch out for upped again in trip in handicaps.
Watching the all weather racing for the past couple of months I was intrigued to see Tracy Waggott with plenty of runners. None of them managed to win, but I made a mental note to watch out for any of her runners that did have a pipe opener when they returned to turf, and Windforpower goes in the 5f apprentice handicap at 5.05.
This 6yo son of Red Clubs holds no secrets from the handicapper and he has had 75 starts already in his career. However, he has been a fun horse for connections and he has won 10 races as well as being placed in another 26. All bar one of his wins have come at 5f and his last triumph came last year at Wetherby (5.5f good to firm) off a mark of 68. His previous win in April of last year came at Musselburgh on soft (5f) and he has hit the frame on easy ground on plenty of occasions, including here, so the forecast conditions won't bother him.
He has won off marks ranging from 51 to 71 so he looks very fairly treated off 64 tomorrow. Talented young claimer Josh Doyle takes off another 3lb which could make all the difference and he has a very good draw in stall 2. He didn't run too badly on his seasonal comeback at Southwell last month and that effort should put him spot on for this. I think he is capable of running a huge race at Catterick tomorrow and 14/1 looks a massive price. Hopefully he can get his head in front in what looks a wide open handicap.
