Harry Cobden’s Planet Sport Bet blog: Rock-solid Outlaw Peter could run a big race again at Ayr

13:20 (Ayr) Jackpot D’Athou

It’s a busy weekend up at Ayr for me and the Paul Nicholls team, with both the jockeys’ and trainers’ titles on the line.

I start off aboard Jackpot D’Athou who’s a really nice horse. I was pleased with him last time when he dug deep to beat a useful horse in Livin On Luco.

I think he’ll appreciate the better ground and he’s a great ride to kickstart the meeting.

 

 

14:20 (Ayr) Herakles Westwood

Next up is Herakles Westwood. He’s a nice spare ride to pick up, but the handicapper has probably got a grip of him.

However, Warren Greatrex wouldn’t be taking him up there for nothing, so he’s one to keep an eye out for.

14:50 Outlaw Peter

Outlaw Peter has been fantastic this season. He’s had plenty of racing, but he’s turned up every time. I thought he did very well to win at Kempton last time out in particular.

He’s probably not well-treated at the weights but he’s rock-solid. I could see him running a big race again.

15:20 Hugos New Horse

I then ride Hugos New Horse, who I rode to victory at this meeting last year. I could see him running better than his price, despite disappointing on his last run.

This will be his second start since his wind-op and I’m sure there’s lots of improvement to come with him. He’s back in better form at home and we’re hoping for a good run.

15:55 Beau Balko

I’m pleased that my next mount, Beau Balko, is going back left-handed. He’s got a good deal of smart form to his name, will appreciate the track and the likely fast-run race.

I think he’ll have a squeak, so don’t rule him out.
