Today's Follow The Money comes from the meetings at Wolverhampton and Taunton...
Starting off in the in the 14:40 Wolverhampton where Gentlemusic has been popular, in from 6.93 to 4.3100/30, with the market move reflecting her recent solid form. The selection followed her maiden win with a comfortable success in a Chelmsford Handicap - the second-placed runner there has won since - while both of her trainer's runners won yesterday. Sandwiched in the betting between once-raced rivals, we hope Gentlemusic's extra experience can provide backers with a tasty start to a good day's racing.
On to the 15:20 at Taunton, where confidence behind Isthereadifference has been evaporating steadily, despite his trainer's six individual winners from nine runners in the last ten days. He still holds favouritism at 4.216/5 after opening at 3.259/4 but quite a lot of market activity has centred on Polstar, who won a race at Taunton on this day last year. While there is nothing of concern about our lay's winter absence after unseating in his last race - he is considered to be a horse for summer-jumping - his comeback runs in previous years were moderate, so we are happy to oppose.
Back to Wolverhampton for our final back in the 15:40. It is a race with interesting contenders but we cannot overlook the claims of today's best backed horse, Tizlove Regardless, a mover from 5.49/2 to 3.55/2. Joe Fanning off just 8-7 is nevertheless three pounds more than he should be carrying - a measure of the confidence behind the Mark Johnson front-runner in this competitive handicap. Worn down at the death last time, the team can make amends today.
