Northumberland Plate

    I've been eagerly awaiting prices for this race for a while. I mentioned Angel Gabrial last week as the number one horse on my tracker at the moment and he has held that position ever since his incredibly eye-catching run in the Chester Cup. I expected him to be around 8/1 for this weekend's race so the 14/1 that is freely availble is a gift. These inflated odds are mainly explained by the shortness of Pique Sous in the market. That horse ran a cracker last week at the royal meeting but steps back in trip by six furlongs and will find these hardy handicappers a lot tougher to crack. I will write more about my feelings on the race at the weekend.

Northumberland Plate:
Angel Gabrial £20ew @ 14/1 and £20w @ 10/1
