Joe Tizzard blog: ‘She loved the step up to three miles last time’

In the latest Joe Tizzard blog, the Coral ambassador previews his runners for this weekend’s horse racing action at Wincanton and Haydock.

Wincanton 3.07 – Off To A Flyer

This horse has taken a bit of time to get the hang of chasing, and I’ve put cheekpieces on him here as I think they will sharpen him up a little bit.  He schooled really well earlier in the week, and Daryl [Jacob] can pop him out and be prominent with him, and hopefully get him enjoying it.

He is a spring horse, and appreciates better ground, so this going would be a concern, but I think the handicapper has given him a chance, so when we finally get some drier ground, I can see him getting his head in front again before too long.

Wincanton 3.42 – Ticking Tom Bomb

Ticking Tom Bomb ran two nice races at Wincanton and Cheltenham to start this season, but he just wasn’t right when he came back after his Boxing Day run, so we’ve given him time to get over that.  He’s another whose handicap mark looks workable, and I think he needs this step up in trip, so I hope he can get back on track and if so, would have an each-way chance.
