TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTED RUNNER
Obsessedwithyou
“She has the scope to progress further this season and is off a workable mark, but disappointed on seasonal debut when unable to settle in a messy big field handicap at Taunton. Back in a better race, and a smaller field, and with that race under her belt, I think she can go very close here.”

News in Brief
Waterlogged Plumpton calls off Monday meeting
There will be no jump racing to start the week after Plumpton cancelled its meeting on Monday morning due to a waterlogged track. With Ayr already called off due to frozen ground, hopes rested on Plumpton’s 8am inspection but the decision was made much earlier with conditions unraceable following heavy rain overnight.
Coolmore splash jaw-dropping €12m on Niarchos mares
What unfolded at Goffs on Friday evening will be talked about for years to come. Group 1-winning siblings Alpha Centauri and Alpine Star sold for €6,000,000 apiece, equalling the record price for a thoroughbred at an Irish public auction not once but twice.
Blackmore charity fund for every winner she rides
A new charity fund is being launched by Betfair on Saturday which it is predicted will raise up to £250,000 for the Injured Jockeys Fund and Irish Injured Jockeys. The initiative, which has been named the Rachael Blackmore Serial Winners Fund, will kick off with a £100,000 donation from the bookmaker. For every winner Blackmore rides between Saturday and the Randox Grand National at Aintree on April 13, Betfair will add a further £5,000 to the total.
RECENT LAMBOURN WINNERS
Sageburg County
Warren GreatrexPut a line through his last run where he really didn’t seem to enjoy conditions. Has been in good form and schooling well since and will no doubt put in a much better performance today.
Civil Law
Roger TealCivil Law loves Wolverhampton. He wasn’t placed very well in a muddling race at Kempton last time, but if he can get among them tonight, hopefully we wil see a better race from him.
Sashenka
Dominic Ffrench DavisFirst time over fences and we’re hoping for a clear round and that she enjoys her jumping.
Brave Zulu
Daniel & Claire KüblerBravo Zulu really pleased us with his debut and should step forward as he showed a lot of greeness that day but powered home late. This is a decent prize and we've waited a while for it.
