Another one bites the dust, but we keep plugging away. Strange card at Leicester today - all chases! Apologies for this link not coming through yesterday but you still have a couple of weeks to drop the hints... http://www.breakfastmeat.com/steakandbjday.html

4.00 Lingfield Dawson Creek 11/4 (LOST -3.72 - Well I hope you had the reverse forecast! A creditable run and only half a length in it, but that was enough)
This horse has been going well on the all weather this winter and last time lost by a head to Joy and Pain. He is a pound better off which should make the difference, especially with a more experienced jockey on board. I dont expect anything else to touch these two, and if you're feeling lucky try the forecast!

7.45 Carlisle to beat Crewe 8/5 (WON -2.12 - A solid workmanlike 1-0 victory pushes Carlisle into second spot and leaves Crewe in the bottom four)
Two teams with opposite aims meet tonight. Crewe are in a 4-way dogfight to avoid the 4th relegation spot to the basement division this season, while a win for Carlisle tonight would see them go 2nd behind runaway leaders Swansea. Carlisle's charge has been built on winning 13 out of 15 home games, but Crewe have slipped down the table alarmingly, winning only 1 of their last 8 at home, and 1 in 17 overall. Carlisle however have turned in some good performances of late, winning 3 of the last 4 including wins over fellow promotion contenders Doncaster and Walsall. They have ony won 3 on the road this year, but with Crewe on their awful run, and Carlisle's recent excellent performances I expect them to leapfrog Forest into second spot tonight.
