Rory Delargy:
One of the first lessons you are taught as a novice punter is the old axiom of "horses for courses" and I had my lesson at my father's knee regarding Bird's Nest at Newcastle. GOODWIN is no Bird's Nest and he won't win a hatful of Fighting Fifths, but he's a different horse at Plumpton than elsewhere, with form figures at the Sussex track of 21113, and he's back to a mark he can win off after a poor reappearance run at Fontwell just over two weeks ago.
Finishing last of five at Plumpton was hardly a positive effort, but Goodwin went without the visor he wore when winning here last November, and is entitled to be much sharper, while he's no stranger to bouncing back quickly, with his last two wins coming on the back of shockers, one of them at Fontwell.
The concern today is that stablemates Kocktail Bleu and Goodwin Face have been taken out this morning after bad scopes. The yard has been in mixed form of late, and that probably explains why the horses are being scoped ahead of prospective runs, but the fact that Goodwin has clearly scoped clean this morning is an indication that he's healthy, for all sickness in the yard is clearly a concern in general terms.

David Massey:
I’d put LAW OF SUPPLY in around the 3/1 mark for this this morning after giving him a mention on the auld “Away” column so at 4/1 and bigger he’s going to have to be a bet.
The Bailey/Nicholls bandwagon is well and truly rolling for this season now, with three winners in recent days, and the bottom line here is that I really rate the form he showed last time out when running the improving Paper Mill to six lengths off level weights.
There’s no Paper Mill in here today, and I reckon main danger on paper Glengolly might just need his first run of the year as he did last season, before winning on his second start.
