3:55 Nottingham – Cherry Cola
Some ultra-competitive racing at Nottingham as the “Grassroots” series reaches its climax. Most of the races look a bit too competitive for our tastes, but the stayers final has a nice shape to it, and we can row in again with CHERRY COLA, who almost landed us a good-priced winner over hurdles when she ran at Plumpton a couple of weeks ago.
We pointed out on that occasion that she seems to have improved for a step up in trip on the Flat, and to that end, her form at Nottingham over 14f reads 152, all of it on ground good or better, which is what she will encounter today.
When she was second to Alpine Stroll here earlier in the year, beaten two lengths, she was giving that one a pound, yet finds herself in receipt of 15lb today, which ought to be more than enough to turn the tables.
Expect a patient ride from Rose Dawes, creeping into this from the home turn, and she ought to be in the frame at worst again.

2:13 Hamilton – Lady Lade
The best bet on Monday comes in the Joseph Leckie & Sons Ltd Handicap, where LADY LADE can take advantage of some lenient handicapping.
Keith Dalgleish’s three-year-old has an excellent record here, winning her novice over C&D last season, and placed twice in 6f handicaps here in June, when seeming to find her stamina stretched. Those placed efforts came in Class 4 company, and after losing her way mid-summer, she has dropped in the weights, and came back to form dropped in trip and class at Ayr last time, finishing an excellent third of 21 to Triple Jaye, beaten just a neck and half a length.
Lady Lade pretty much proved what the form suggests at Ayr, that is that she is best at the minimum trip, and her record at the trip now reads 5113. The ‘5’ came on her debut at Carlisle on soft ground, and she shaped very well despite needing the experience that day, keeping on for hand riding to be beaten 2¼ lengths after missing the break from a wide draw.
She built on that to win her next two starts at 5f, but it wasn’t until the Western Meeting at Ayr that she was tried again at the trip. The fact that she bounced straight back to form at Ayr augurs well, and while it can be argued that she’s unproven on the ground, her only runs on such a surface have come without the benefit of a prep run, and she’s performed perfectly well in the circumstances.
Lady Lade showed she could be competitive from marks in the mid-70s before her temporary dip in form and returns to a track she handles well off a mark of 68 now, which to my mind looks like a golden opportunity, particularly with a draw in 9 looks a positive, with Shesadabber likely to make the running from 11, and that in-form mare should give us the perfect tow deep into the race.

2:40 Haydock – Speycaster
Sprint Cup day at Haydock was marred by a raft of withdrawals due to firm ground, with the unfortunate Kirkland Tellwright having to field questions as to why he hadn’t watered, in a change to the usual schedule at the Newton-Le-Willows venue, when Kirkland is expected to field angry questions about why he HAS watered. It’s a funny old game, sometimes.
On the bright side, the rain has arrived on Thursday to ensure Tellwright is blameless, and the going should be on the soft side of good for Friday’s card. That is good news for my nap of the day, who was one of those non-runners at the last meeting when strongly fancied.
SPEYCASTER was much better than the bare result when fourth in a similar race here on his most recent start, and the son of Highland Reel can strike in first-time blinkers. Ralph Beckett has run 15 horses in blinkers for the first time this year, saddling four winners at 5/1, 7/1, 15/2 and 17/2, the latest of which came just a week ago. Another five of those runners have finished second, making the headgear look a huge positive for him when he lines up in the Haldane Fisher Handicap.
Speycaster was a little unlucky here last time, stumbling as he left the stalls, and that left him poorly positioned. I was impressed by the way he was able to work his way back into the race, and while he couldn’t pose a win threat, he did sterling late work to grab fourth in a deep field.
He did carry his head a little awkwardly there, and the headgear looks a sound move, while his previous disappointing run at York came at a time when a lot of the stable’s runners were disappointing, and his reappearance effort at Nottingham was full of promise.

5:15 Chepstow – The Golden Cue – Each Way
Across the Welsh border (I’m getting flashbacks of the Two Ronnies’ The Worm That Turned), I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m giving one more chance to THE GOLDEN CUE, who needs a deep surface, and gets that for the first time in ages in the Cwmbran Carpet Centre Quality Service Handicap.
Steph Hollinshead’s seven-year-old is far from consistent, but has missed a couple of engagements this term due to ground faster than ideal, and then clearly needed the outing at Thirsk last time.
He ran really well on his last visit here, where he would have won at this trip, and while he will always come with risks, his ability to cope with track and ground are big positives, and he should not be the outsider of the field.
