Clear as Mud at Towcester, all aboard the Richards bandwagon
THE victory of Trapstyle Louis on Wednesday was a seventh win from his last ten runners for Mattie Richards at Towcester so, if the system isn't broken, why change it?
Unlike that day, however, we have three Richards runners to pick from today when looking for the best bet although his trio of Rattytatty (4.07), Bell Rock (4.26) and Mind The Mud (5.21) all look to have solid claims.
However, preference nap-wise is for the last-named MIND THE MUD who recently completed a D4 double as part of the kennel's brilliant run of form.

She is upgraded to D3 company for today's 270m contest but again has the benefit of the inside draw and should prove more than up to the task having been transformed since returning from a spell of lameness.
There are morning and evening meetings at Harlow with Debbie Hurlock's Dower Rafa (12.46) and Kevin Cobbold's Heavenly Queen (8.34) the picks, while Evan Henrick's Madabout Bucks (11.29) can score at Mullingar's early fixture.
Ron Peckover's Salthill Orbit (8.43) makes mot appeal at Oxford which is part of an evening SIS triple-header also featuring Harlow plus the Irish Derby heats at Shelbourne Park which are previewed by Ian Fortune via the link below.
