I won't be at Salisbury tomorrow but it looks like an informative afternoon with some decent novice races. I like the chances of a mare in one of the handicaps.
16:30, Sorvio Insurance Brokers Margadale Fillies' Handicap
Azahara Palace 10/1, 1pt each-way (4 places)
Hughie Morrison's mare is running off a mark of 77 which is still 3 pounds higher than her last victory but it's worth noting she is now 4 pounds below the mark she raced off at Royal Ascot last year and only a pound higher than when finishing 2nd of 14 at Doncaster in October. She was an unlucky loser from this mark at Haydock on seasonal debut when getting no luck in running and finishing like a train when in the clear. She can be forgiven her poor effort at Newbury last time out as that was a much stronger race than this and it didn't pay to be placed so far back. She's now back into calmer waters and being drawn in stall 10, there's little chance she should find herself boxed in again. What is noticeable is that top jockey Tom Marquand rides very rarely for the stable but his last ride for Hughie Morrison was a winner. He rides Azahara Palace for the first time here.
