All-Weather Monday

Not a lot of UK racing, just the all-weather action to look forward to tomorrow (Monday), at Southwell and Wolverhampton, as the jumps from Bangor has been abandoned. 
I do like the look of a couple of horses at Southwell, which have moved positively in the market at this early stage. They include GRANDAD MAC in the 1:05 5/2 from 11/4 and SHORT SHRIFT in the 1:35 9/4 from 5/2.

More significant positive movers include;

DORBACK         - Wolverhampton 2:30 - 7/1 from 12/1
KATMAI RIVER - Wolverhampton 4:30 - 4/1 from 11/2
