2.25 Newmarket – SEA OF ROSES (1pt win – 6/1 bet365, 11/2 generally)
Newmarket’s ground has changed to heavy after 32mm of rain in a 24-hour spell and while we
can expect to be ‘rule4d to death’ with any sections there today as the non-runners come in I still want an interest in SEA OF ROSES, who looks better equipped to handle the deep ground than the majority of her rivals. Andrew Balding’s filly has form figures on good to soft or softer going in Britain (based on race times, not the official going) of 21531 (2-5) and her front-running style will be an asset. Oisin Murphy was alive to where the best ground was here yesterday.

5.40 Haydock – WOBWOBWOB (2pt win – 5/1 bet365, 9/2 generally)
My tracker entry for WOBWOBWOB simply says “Autumn. Especially first start each autumn” and now is the time to side with Adrian Keatley’s six-year-old. He looked to be coming to the boil nicely when fifth of 17 in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon last month, a race in which he was third las year before landing the Ayr Silver Cup on his first autumn outing. He also landed his first autumn start in 2022 (at Catterick on October 15th after eight weeks off) and was an eyecatching third at Ayr on 18th September 2021after a ten-week break. It was a similar story in 2020 when his first autumn run resulted in a three-length victory in a 19-runner handicap at Thirsk (14th September). The gelding has been freshened up by a six-week break since Ripon and the soft ground is in his favour.
