Tom Scudamore: “I will be doing a rain-dance for Daklondike”

New to This Town is reasonably lightly race for Colin. Hopefully he can continue to improve. He should run well

Sunday – Exeter

1.10 – Drama King

Drama King had shown fairly little until he ran at Ascot where he ran well, and that was much more like it.

If he shows a similar vein of form then he will run a big race. David’s horses have generally been running well this season.

He hasn’t got the numbers of years gone by, but he has some really nice, young horses.

1.45 – Lough Derg Diamond

I rode Lough Derg Diamond over two miles around Haydock which was far too sharp for him. The more galloping track will suit him.

He’s had two runs since I rode him at Haydock, at Cheltenham and at Newcastle. He’s going to make a chaser but hopefully he can pick up a hurdle along the way.

3.25 – Aurillac

Aurillac has a bit to find with some of the others in the race. He ran okay to a point last time at Newbury.

He hasn’t been the most straightforward to train but he should like Exeter and hopefully he can build on that last run.

4.00 – Tikkapick

Tikkapick was second at Wincanton on his first run of the season but disappointed last time. If he can bounce back to the form of that first run he would have a good chance.

 Over the weekend Slate House and Daklondike would probably be my best two chances, but at a bigger price I wouldn’t rule out Drama King on Sunday.
