7.40 Lingfield - Travel Agent EW 22/1 & Gogo Yubari EW 7/1
Not hugely confident about Travel Agent i gotta say but i think he may be worth a small each way to nothing given the price. Trainer Martin Dunne sends just this one out today and hes enjoying a purple patch at the moment with three winners from his last five runners , since 17th August - 1,9,2,1,1 .. all those runs have come on the all weather giving him a 60% strike rate and a profit of +£22.25 on the artificial surfaces in the last couple of weeks. Horse hasnt really shown anything thus far in all honesty , but im hopeful that he may improve now hes with this new trainer , had two runs so far for Dunne but both of those were on the turf and given his record on the all weather im hoping that he can help the horse improve a bit for the change of surface. Tyler Heard takes the ride for the first time.
Gogo Yubari could be in amongst them i think and at the current 7/1 could be worth an each way poke , won over 5f at Windsor on penultimate start but ran poorly when only 8th over a furlong further at the same course last time out , and going by my ratings looks to hold a decent chance here this evening. Is one from one over CD and at the course overall he has three wins and two places from his six outings so seems to like it here at Leafy. Class is no problem and has won from higher marks than todays so hopefully can give a good account of himself. Tony Carroll has his yard in decent form at the moment with a 21% strike rate in the last fortnight , Rhys Clutterbuck in the hot seat and he knows the horse well with six wins and four placings from his seventeen rides to date. When riding for the trainer over the last three weeks the pair have a 33% strike rate. If on song can definatley make his presence felt.
