A look back at the last week or so:
Last Tuesday we had:
TIME COURSE SELECTION 0.5pt/1pt/2pt win Bookmaker(s) / Price(s)
2.30 Bath Lobelia 1pt 8/1+generally 9/1 SkyBet Stan James
4.50 Ayr Majuro 1pt 7/1 Bet365/BetVictor/Totesport/PP&
6.35 Yarmouth Arabic 1pt 11/2 generally
8.20 Nottingham Style And Panache 1pt 11/2+generally 6/1 Coral 13/2 Hills
An annoying recent trend has been horses of our being slowly away - this was the case with Lobelia, who started a nicely backed 11/2 but blew the start and had to use energy to get back into the mix - it showed late on and Brian Meehan's 2yo filly faded away.
Majuro at Ayr was dropping down to 6 furlongs for the first time since May last year and ran well, but got headed inside the final furlong to finish second after starting at 9/2.
Arabic went off at 11/2 and was staying on well towards the end without ever quite having the pace to get there, beaten 1 1/2 lengths in fourth.
Style And Panache was unfortunately a non-runner.
Last Wednesday we had:
5.25 Beverley Pinotage 1pt 5/1 generally 11/2 Totesport
4.50 Ayr Majuro 1pt 7/1 Bet365/BetVictor/Totesport/PP&
6.35 Yarmouth Arabic 1pt 11/2 generally
8.20 Nottingham Style And Panache 1pt 11/2+generally 6/1 Coral 13/2 Hills

3.35 Newcastle China Excels 1pt 5/1 Bet365/Coral 11/2 Totesport/Betfred/SportingBet/
Double Your Money went off at 13/2 and finished fifth, staying on, but not in dange of troubling the principles.
China Excels, Sue Smith's only flat runner, went on an almighty drift to 25/1 before being backed in again to 12/1 only to finish tailed off.
