3.10 Nottingham – YELLOW LEMONS (1pt ew – 20/1 bet365, 18-1 generally, 16-1 Sky Bet who offer an extra place)
YELLOW LEMONS was only eighth of nine to Rolica in a 7f fillies’ maiden at Newmarket on her reappearance but her patient style was at a big disadvantage thanks to the strong tailwind and it was a respectable effort to go down by under ten lengths in the circumstances. The winner, also ridden patiently, boosted the form with a fine sixth in the 1000 Guineas next time and the seventh, Izipizi, who was only three-quarters of a length in front of Yellow Lemons, won a Bath maiden next time. Even the 23-length ninth gave the form a lift, placing at 100-1 next time. Richard Hannon’s filly finished well held at Chelmsford next time but was 66-1 in novice company and looks interesting now switched to fillies’ handicap company off a mark of just 61 and returned to turf.
6.20 Worcester -SOMESPRING SPECIAL (1.5pt win – 11/2 bet365, 4/1 generally)
I was very confident about the prospects of SOMESPRING SPECIAL at Bangor on May 18th and bet accordingly, but the 7-2 favourite could only finish fifth, flattening out in the home straight. It’s possible that the big field (11 ran) and step up to Class 2 level were against her, the ground was softer than ideal or perhaps she just needed longer to recover from her two wins at Plumpton/Cheltenham the previous month which came in the space of four days. Whatever the reason(s) for the defeat she’s out again (26 days later), drops back down to Class 3 level on quicker ground and is worth a small interest as the outsider of the four runners.

Andrew Mount’s Myth Busters – The Lower the Class of Race, the Less Predictable the Result
After tackling Epsom’s unique course with his Myth Busters column last week, Andrew Mount returns this week in a more general setting, asking whether the quality of race affects the predictability of the result. I’ve listened to plenty of punters and pundits discuss their favourite races to bet in and the most common answer that…
