 12.15 Chelts - I am Maximus 5/4. 

I am on 66/1 for the Chelts. Fingers crossed this bolts up.

12.50 - Honest Vic 4/1.

Well handicapped based on last run, Trainer in decent form. Won over hurdles here comfortably off this mark so fingers crossed again :)

1.25 - Oscar Elite 11/1 ew

Needs to be ridden patiently and if so has enough decent form in the book. If doesn't do well today and lines up again at the festival one to keep an eye on for a decent ew maybe a handicap.

2.00 - Galahad Quest 9/1ew

Could have backed so many in this but on balance on recent form will go with GQ. If wind surgery works for Janika could be really well handicapped. Backed Deyrann De Crajac last two races, so no doubt will win today :) Kauto Riko was interesting too.

2.35 - Spritofgames 14/1ew

Needs to bounce back, but why not. Best handicapped if does. Thought about Kansas again after won me a decent 16/1 but Spirit still better handicapped

3.10 - Mcfabulius 9/4

Post more later in the comments

Happy new year :)

 Not posted in a while and of course had number massive winners :) sorry mega busy.

1.15 Chelts - Bun Doran 14/1 ew. Second run post wind op. Got a good place out of it last time and now has a 10lb pull with the fave Editor DG. Frero Banbou will run well but BD better value

Bun Doran 14/1ew

1.30 Doncater - Misty Bloom 9/2

1.50 Chelts - The Midnight Shadow race is a great formline given Protektorat went onto win. Midnight was hampered at penultimate and stumbled at last so maybe should have won that race by more. There are so many reopposing at different weighs and I've seen the race a few times now. The one I want is one you can't really see in the replays :) Was held up and detached most of the way but made up decent ground up the hill. Deyrann De Carajc is 25/1ew. Was only 2lb away from Midnight Shadow at level wieghts about 11 months ago over C&D but now over a stone and half pull. With King getting into form and Bredan Powell booked who smashes up Chelts hope have a live ew here.

The fly might be Fusil Raffles who is potentailly well handicapped so will cover 8/1 otn

Deyrann De Carajc is 25/1ew

Fusil Raffles 8/1

rfc 200/1 (ish) for banter as well

3.35 Chelts - Her Indoors was a tracker horse but deleted after nailed my quids when won at Chelts, but I wondered whether is still well handicapped over a longer distance. Martello Sky is definaltey well handicaped based on last run and also a Chelts winner

Marteloo Sky 4/1

HEr Indoors 8/1

Breeders Cup 2021

Solid melbourne cup winner. Not going to have a chance to look at Breeders in full.

Backed Goulthane 10/1 at 12.30

Have some antepost bets but will probably cash golden pal out given have the doubles. 

Backed averly jane 14/1 for  commonwealth next year

Melbourne Cup 2021

 Didn't have all the time I wanted to look at this.

At the weekend I was keen on

Persan 25/1

Very Ellegant 16/1.

I back Twinlight Payment last year to win and I think is good enough to go close again given reckon has improved equally to rise in weights.

If Incentivise stays the 2m will probably hose up though. 2/1 is very short though. I'll stick with Persan and Very Ellagnet ew

Bets 30.10.2021

 

2.03 Mussleburhg - Cooper Coin 13/8

2,23 Newmarket - Noble Dynasty 2/1

Impressive form on both Newmarket runs. Should have won last time out but got merked on the rail the entire way.

2.45 Ascot - One For Rosie 13/2 ew

2.58 Newmarket - With The Moonlight 5/2

I thought Five Stars was interesting but on collateral form WTM is miles ahead.

7.30 Chlemsford - Percys Prince 3/1

Bets 16/10/2021

Earlier in the week all I could see was a Gosden clean up. Worth a Gosden acca of sorts.

1.25 I can't back Trushan after only 2 weeks on from the Cadran and on good to soft, good ground. I'm sure will probably win, but too short. I keep thinking it's mad that Strad is 4/1 given ground. Gosden convinced was legitimate reasons for defeats this year. 

Instead I'll pluck Baron Samedi. 2m no issues, decent form in Ireland. Whilst has improvement to find has been improving a lot this summer and still only 4. Will be much fresher than most.

Baron Samedi 7/1 ew (4 places)

2.00 - Many of these are in and out of form, stepping up and stepping down in trip. It's a confusing race for me. 

So, Minzaal, lightly raced, open to improvment gets my vote.

Minzaal 9/1 ew (6places)

2.35 - Snowfall has to win this right? 

I'm always okay to draw lines through York form so Eshaadda get's the vote. Form boosted at Lonchamp

Eshadaa 11/1 ew (3 places)

3.10 - Palace Pier 15/8

3.50 - Adayar has been immense this season but surely a long one and a race just 2 weeks ago on heavy ground can't help chances? Bolshoi Ballet has won 3 times over this distance and was fave for the Derby. This is interesting. If te ground was softer I'd be hitting Addeyebb.

Misriff 2/1

Bolsho Ballet 28/1 ew 4 places

4.30 - Sunray looks chucked in but pretty short for such a big field and the ground will probably be slower up the high drawn. I dont' have any other strong fancies other than two ews back plucked

Maries Diamond 25/1ew 6 places

Escobar 18/1ew 6places

Roschlyn was next on list but 2 is enough.....

Bets 09/10/2021

 Two big prices 1 place of being placed, but thankfully nailed 11/1 and 10/3 winner. 

2.55 Newmarket - Assume Native Trail wins this but still chancing this:

Glouthaune 14/1 ew 3 places

3.35 Newmarket - Assume a Willie Mullins nag wins this but still chancing this:

Buzz 7/1 ew 8 places

2.00 York - Animato would surely have won this if not for the draw, but the draw is super tough. Don't normally back a nag at York that flopped at York before, but the form of last race is decent and surely the yard must think something was amiss to try the same C&D again with a visor? This jockey is a worry too, but guess this is why price is so juicy.

Bets 09.09.2021

The I'll just stick to one cost me a 12/1 winner yesterday :) Oh well. Was the value and not the one I thought would win. Always a tough battle. Value betting will probably always come out on top..... 

1.10 - Mountain Brave 6/1

Hopefully Nicola rides this hard from the off.

1.40 Daquiri Francais 4/1

The form with Rock Melody is decent. I thought about Favourite Child but DF won well on heavy and second won cosily twice since giving this opening mark for DF a really shine.

2.10 Doncaster - Perfect Symphony 16/1ew

The only worry I have is Hayley has only ridden 1/31 winners at the track. Otherwise this looks a decent ew. Was not going to squeeze passed Atomic Lady last time so Rossa dropped PS out and switched wide. Lost all momentum and came balsting home on wrong side of track. I hope can go close to turning tables with Ever Given especially with extra pull at weights too.

3.15 - Golden Pass 9/1

I was looking at Free Wind as the worthy fave but I saw Golden Pass beat FW earlier in season. 100% FW will have improved but even though GP ran poorly last race the form of that race is rock solid and hope can boounce back today.

3.45 - Seven Brothers 14/1ew

I thought SB was a crazy price at HQ but never backed it. Ran a cracker at 25/1 2nd last time out. The form of that race is decent. A course winner who will prefer the quicker ground so much have an ew squeak. Few bookies playing 3 places as well.

Bets 08.09.2021

 Doncaster 1.45 - Modern Games 15/8

Not a banker as a few of these are probably ahead of mark but Appleby does well with handicap debutants at Doncaster

Doncaster 2.20 - Frantastic 6/4

Shouldn't bet in this of course but a nag named after Frankie and full brother to Crackman worth a few quid :) Has a G1 entry. Beaches is the only other horse with a G1 entry.

Doncaster 2.50 - Thrave 12/1 ew

Betting in a classified stakes race with retired jockeys. Not a good idea :) On best form is the best here over this distance and the best of those that have run at Doncsater. Would have preferred a flat jockey to take the ride but hey. Natural Colour could be a big price back in trip with the best race form but will stick with one.

Doncaster 3.25 - Highfield Princess 9/2

Really solid form over 7f especially in the last behind Spaces Blues. Could argue is rated higher than 109.

Doncaster 4.00 - Khadeem 6/4

Everything points to this drop back in trip.

Doncaster 4.30 - Faisal 6/4

Proven on flat galloping tracking now and hopefully can improve further.

Doncaster 5.00 - Nelson Gay 9/1

Another cliff horse for me but I'm convinced has a decent handicap up sleeve. Seems to run really well over 5f at Sandown but I wonder whether this gallopping/flatter track may bring out the best. Should be enough pace as well

4.50 Carlisle - Stranger On The Shore 8/1

Solid C&D record

Bets 04.09.2021

2.05 Kempton - Wings of War 7/2

2.55 Haydock - Indianapolis  mark has dropped considerably now and a couple of best performances have been over C&D. Is the best handicapped horse on old form as well with a decent last run as well.

Indianapolis 11/1

3.15 Kempton - Away slowly couple times recently and still finished well. Goes well over C&D. Crowley booked for the ride.

Fantasy Believer 14/1 ew

3.30 Haydock - Last chance for my cliff horse Supremacy. Cox is in decent nick and 3 year olds have a good record. Sup was the best 2 yr old last year and if hasn't progressed then fine but from last couple runs I can find enough excuses :)

Supremacy 18/1 ew

3.50 Kempton - If doesn't get away slowly off this mark could win. Massively priced due positions. But slowly away and hampered both raced over C&D.

Snow Hawk 25/1 ew

4.05 Haydock - Mondamej has a slow start was one of the lasdt of the bridle and finished very strongly. Less horses to get stuck behind this time to turn the table with Copper Knight.

Mondammej 6/1

4.20 Ascot - Baker's form is annoying for me, but otherwise Paasionova is chucked in on handicapped debut. Ready To Venture has cost me twice now so will obvioulsy win today when don't back it :)

Passionova 5/1

4.55 Ascot - Royal Scimatar 5/2

5.30 Ascot - Mine's A Double 7/4

Bets 01.09.2021

4.00 Lingfield - Black Medic 11/2 back to 7fulrongs is the key here. Run well in defeat couple times and now off a low mark

4.35 Lingfield - Fact or Fable 11/1 gone very close twice off this mark. I think this C&D could be ideal. Global Acclamation looks the biggest threat

 4.50 Hamilton - Edward Cornelius 5/4 should win this but that MJ nag is a worry. 

5.50 Hamilton - Ryan's Party 2/1 looks ahead of mark

7.20 Hamilton - Dense Starr 5/1 is down in grade and has been running in pattern class mainly. Chucked in if not regressive. Ran better than result last time.

Bets 28.08.2021

Great to land the Ebor with a 12/1. Only Fools Rush In drifted to 10/1 and won as well.

2.25 Goodwood - Aratus was an easy winner last time out and I still think has at least half a stone in hand. Clearly worried that Kirby has taken the ride on Dance Fever but I'm sticking with Aratus.

Aratus 5/2

2.45 Newmarket - Tabdeed is top rated here, down in class so Tabdeed's to lose.

Tabdeed 2/1

3.35 Goodwood - Chindit is unbeaten outside G1 racing and think this is a good opportunity. Bentabl on best form wins but over  ayeasr off surely a tough ask.

1.50 York - Major Jumbo best handicapped on historic form but has to bounce back at a track does always run well at. Snazzy Jazzy will like extra half furlong and ran really well in pattern class at York 2 races back suggesting can win off this mark

Major Jumbo 16/1

Snazzy Jazzy 33/1

3.00 York - Fuming about Sir Lucan no winning last time. Should make amends this time. Youth Spirit becoming a cliff horse for me, but now at level weights could go closer

Sir Lucan 7/2

Youth Spirit 11/1

4.10 York -  If one of the MJ nags bouneces back to form they win but look out of sorts totally.

Future Investment 14/1 

Get Shirty 14/1

 1.50 Goodwood - Siskany was impressive of soft ground and unlucky enough in the King George which is surely the best form here?

Siskany 9/2ew

Isabllea GIles 14s CD. Ground okay. Rohaan form good. what has happened to Cox horses this season? big worry? Won the prestie by 7 lneghts. las race poor but was poor at ascot before as well.

Isabella Giles 9/1 ew. Was 14/1 last night when was writign notes up

3.35 - Snow Lantern 5/1ew

5.20 - Horrendous. Can't find a decent plot up. If Dutch Decoy goes on ground is well handicapped and ZFeng always goes well here, mark dropping and Crowly booked

Dutch Decoy 14/1ew

Zuie Feng 22/1ew 

Will sort the 2.25 race tomorrow morning

Bets 07.07.2021 - GG Day 1

 1.50 - I'd been eyeing up Dream With Me for this race, but the draw and ground make it hard to really be confident. Given the ground Sky Defender stands out to me. Also second in this race of 5lb higher. Migration after 2 years off looks to still have it, but will bounce?

Sky Defender 14/1ew

3.35 - Surely one of Strsd or Trueshan wins this? Still not forgotten Ballydole supplement Seprentine for the Gold Cup. Didn't run great. No idea why running the Goodwood Cup either, but if really does stay then only Sir Ron Priestly is likley to take Serpy on for the lead and maybe might run another 'fluke'?

I can't back the top two at the prices so why not this...

Serpentine 20/1 ew

4.10 - Now I've really lost the plot. Backing a 12year old to win a pretty competitive handicap at a big meeting. Was unlukcy last time out, is a C&D winner, will handle conditions, has a decent draw fora  front runner. Problems are trainer form and so many other front runner. Risk is reflected in price for sure.

Ascot 2.15 -  If Guru bounced back to form will win, but a big if. Rebel Territory looked like winning last time out before Luckiness stormed through. Dawson is brilliant at Ascot, takes 3lb off and if doesn't get head in front too soon can win this.

Rebel Territory 7/2

Ascot 4.00 - Dark Shift is chucked in here. I make a bold assumption that fast ground at York just didn't suit.

Dark Shift 2/1

---

Newmarket 1.15 - I'm a big fan of Point Lonsdale so I'd like to think has the strongest formlines from Ascot. However Lusail forlines can't be scoffed at after yesterday. Another race really shouldn't be betting in, but screw it.

Sweeping 3/1

Newmarket 1.50 - Too Friendly has quickly turned into my cliff horse so will hav e to have coins on it. But Peter The Great is chucked in here at 4/1

Pete The Great 4/1

Too Friendly (25/1) - Cliff horse bet

Newmarket 3.00 - I'm on a roll with betting in races I shouldn't. Surely I should be following the Ascot formline here? Instead Prince Alex looks really progressive and it's thumping of Hyanna ties enough into the Ascot formline for me. Has won on GF before so don't think ground is an issue. I am worred that Beckett's last two runner, both faves were turned over though.

Prince Alex 7/1

Newmarket 3.35 - How good are the 3 year old Fillies and Mares this year? I flukey picked out Mother Earth to win the Guineass but I don't rate the race at all. Balding stable was flying when Alchol Free won the Coronation Stakes. Snow Latern ran a cracker behind Alcohol Free in conditions that did not suit so I fully expect her to turn the tables today. I just hope she is settled and travel strongly today.

I'm not dismissing the elders but at the weights/ratings surely the allowance is a key factor today. Queen Power would be my pick of the elders

Snow Lantern 5/1

Newmarket 4.45 - Torn between OPeratic, Hands Solo Berger and Nibras again. 

Hans Solo Berger 20/1ew

Bets 08.07.2021

 2.25 Newmarket - I punted on a lot of these at Ascot but haven't yet worked out what the best formline is. Shame they are not running in different races. I think given Tolstoy lost a wad of lenghts at the start is worth backing ew to turn the tables on Ebro River who I think is the best in this line up but ground maybe a bit quick?

Tolstoy 15/1 ew (with boosted odds)

3.00 Newmarket - Popmaster was flying home last seen over this distance on fast ground. Managed to back last night at bigger prices. Looks like Oisin has shed a lot pounds for this..... Appolo One and Spy Catcher are interesting based on form with Rohaan. Seven Brothers is a crazy price too but will stick with Popmaster as money coming for it as well

Popmaster 8/1ew

Newmarket 3.15 - Still convinced Dke of HAzzard should have won at Epsom. Flopped at York but again convinced was the track. I think Kinross will stuggle with ground so has to be taken on. Motakhayyel is a solid C&D winner too

Given Kemari's win surely Moivin Time will go off fave having been 7/1 yesterday. I'm going to ignore it as I think Kemari improved untold amounts for the step up in trip so don't think it's the best marker. I really like One Ruler and I think with a Penalty and Epsom being so soon, might not be at optimum?

 Palace Pier won as should. Given was so keen on Gisburn can't believe I missed the form of Berkshire Shadow. Unforgivable that really :) Battash looked to be cruising and then sharply moved across the track and really lost so much momentum and stride. The Hannon nags I thought would have a good chance just had sweet FA though maybe Chindit was a little trapped. I turned off at this point and when I came back was still as bad as it started.

Possibly my worst ever Royal Ascot Day. I don't remember on that bad....

2.30 -  Queen Mary - Twinlight Gleaming to break the track record by making all up the favoured side. Illustrating looked really impressive on debut and maybe a decent ew incase Twinlight is not as good as appears.

Twinlght Gleaming 9/4

Illustrating 10/1

rfc

3.40 - I can't believe missed the prices on Double or Bubble Fuming. Massivley unexposed. Looks very good, albeit quite fragile. 

Double or Bubble 6/1ew

4.20 -

Love 10/11

5.00 - I knew Trais Flours was really well handicapped, but obviously when I back it was a total flop and then bolted up at 12/1. Not sure is still massively well in.

 Haaqeey is the group horse and the form of last race has worked out really well. Mighty effort for a 4year old. I just wonder whether the course is right? Brunch has a 14lb pull with Haaqeey but not sure would be enough? Groove Ferry will have a massive chance of form and draw. Magical Memory will trun the tables on Matthew Finders. So many darts. I will stick with one.

Magical Morning 7/1ew

5.30 - Not looked in depth. Ruthin probably Ward's best one here. but Dig Two looks ahndy.

Ruthin 2/1

Dig Two 8/1ew

6.10 - I think Dreamloper can turn tables on LIghts On, but looking back Stunning Beauty thumped LIghts on in early days and maybe more value? Apricot Moon might be a huge outside, but sticking with one only

Stunning Beauty 9/1ew

Bets 15/06/2021

Not had a good prep run for Ascot this year. It's nearly midnight and only really started looking!

2.30 Queen Anne - The only neg for Palace Pier is the draw here. 5lbs clear should win. Can't back it at these odds though. With only 3 places each way I'm not looking for a play but Accidental Agent 100/1 ew might be interesting :)

---

3.05 Coventry - I had a look at this late last week and was looking for betting angles. I was in shock to see Tolstoy at 20/1. Now it's 15/2 in places. The Acropolis, Angel Blue, Tolstoy, Cattura and Ebro River all had huge price variations which may mean something or not?

I back The Acroplois Antepost 10/1 but I'm not overly fussed now. Whilst I love Churchill his crop have't yet set the world alight. Dhahab produced a 92 RPR on debut which is something and has been smashed in the betting. Tolstoy pedigree is to die for an Dettori onboard. and Gisburn just looked utter class last time out.

Given ow well Gisburn looked I'b be disappointed if couldn't be placed at least.

*Gisburn 6/1ew

The Acroploysis 10/1ew (ANTEPOST)

Tolstoy, Dhabab (for ew accas)

3.40 Kings Stand - Many are trying to tak on Battash, When I backed him Antepost I wasn't aware his injure was ' serious'. Thought was a small set back. I still think is the one to beat, but of course have some reservations now.

Oxted wrong disctance. Winter POwer has to prove at this level. Extravegent Kid loves decent but did only beat what is had to at Meydan and Final SOng didn't uphold the form ( I backed it, so I know :))

Maven is an interesting outsider so one for an ew acca.

*Battash 3/1 (ANTEPOST)

Maven (for ew accas)

4.20 St James Palace

I have Battleground this is an awfully hard race and given a tongue tie has been applied I'm not convinced now. Wembley on papaer based on last year is a crazy price, but has a lot to prove now. I keep watching the guineas over and over and I've convinced myslef now that Chindit can reverse the form with Vega and Flare.

*Chindit 7/1ew

5.00 Ascot Stakes - There are a bunch of Irish raiders who I'm struggling with. Most look decent with cut in the ground but they won't get that. Instead my pick from lasdt year Rochester House gets the vote. SBS cannot and I hope not let RH get too far held up. I think well handicapped and we know goes on C&D.

*Rochester House 18/1ew (7 places)

5.35 Wolferton - 

*Solid Stone 11/2ew

6.10 Copper Horse - Sadlier could and maybe will rout the field. G1 hurlder on a decent mark, but it alwasy should have won the race it did last time out and I think at a bigger price, Brilliant Light could be worth a crack. If reproduces it's Nad Al Sheba G3 form can win this!

*Brilliant Light 14/1ew

 2.00 Epsom - Had King Frankel last time out so annoyed if wins today at a short price. Prefer Patient Dream either way. Form is good and looks like will stay and has course form.

Patient Dream 11/4

2.35 Epsom - Surely Statement wins this? Top rated at the weights. But Meade not had a winner recently and Egan not won a race at this track in 29 rides? Hmm.

Hmm. I will pass

3.10 Epsom - If DoH is back to best as trainer say will be hard to beat. 

Duke of Hazzard 11/2 ew

3;45 Epsom - I think you go either very high or very low with the draw here. SDS is one of the best jockeys at Epsom and Sunday Soverign was a rock solid 2 year old so looks like maybe found that form again. Stone of Destony a cliff horse for me and given a hold up horse maybe not right for this race. Only Sppofing could be a big price but not sure if last race was fluke or not.

Sund Soverign 11/2ew

4.30 Epsom - Surely BB wins this. Only AOB nag and been talked up a long time.

I have a £2double Snowfall 5/1 and One Ruler 33/1 and I do think One Ruler is a decent ew bet

Youth Spirit 33/1 I backed Antepost. Maybe Hurricn Lane is interesting

BB 13/8 win. Given I have One Ruler in double active and Youth AP no need for any more bets

40/1 and 25/1 placed and 16/1 winner so te ew accas paid out very well as well. Not my usual £2 lines, just the 28p ones!

Anyhow all good cleared about 1.3k.....

Tough day today plus not looked in detail.......

1.40 York - I've not looked through the full card as I think the market is right with the Top 3.Count D, Illusionist and COpper Knight. If I use Musicka as collateral from then Illustionist gets the vote, but just as COppen Knight is on best form the best handicapped. I hope Illustionist can improve but who knows.

Illustionist 7/1, Copper Knight 7/1

2.40 York - I immediately jumped to Firmament here. But given the jockey bookings I just can't do it. I also suspect they will lower his mark and then take advantage of a lower grade.

Shelir is a total cliff horse of mine but should go really close. Brunch is a obvious improver and should be close, but also Kyren who ran well ;last time and dropped n weights. Urgh which one? No utmost confidence but I guess bigger prices are better?

Kyren 8/1, Shelir 14/1

3.10 York - Like York, got some decent experience behind and can go close

Gear Up 6/1ew

4.50 York  Ben Lilly looke like the one who will caryy on improving. Shasenka been heavily backed but can't see it turning the tables unless market knows something I don't. Maybe they shoved a rocket up its arse.

Ben Lilly 11/2 ew

8.20 Newmarket - Anghamm well handicapped on collateral form here. Would hope places at least but some really unexposed ones here.

Anghhamm 6/1 ew

Bets 12.05.2021

York 1.40 - This race tends to go to a 4yr old improver and if Illraab stays surely wins this? Problem I have is Raymond Tusk (once rated 113, now 99) who is absolutely chucked in based on penultimate run. Appreciate others could improve more, but RT was 4th in Ebor so stays beyond the trip and the ground will be fine. Needs a decent ride for sure.

Raymond Tusk 22/1ew

York 2.10 - Seriously trappy race this.

York 2.40 - Varian a big fan of Mothalam and why not. Probably best trip will be 6.5f :) of course. FInal Song nearly won a G1 in Meydan. Interesting. Hmmm

Final Song 12/1ew

York 3.10 - I've already got Noon Star 10/1 for the Oaks. I hope wins this. I'm looking for an ew play and hitting up Smowfall

Snowfall 16/1ew

York 3.40 - I can't pick between the top3 in the market (Rifleman, Huddleton Mac, Northern Express) but given Huddleton was tried in the Greenham they must think a lot of it? If repeats the Sandown form is chucked in either way

Huddleton Mac 4/1

York 4.50 - Lyfdord ignore last race and should win this given the romple of 5 lengths in penultimate race. Second Slip was of interest but stick with 1.

Lydford 13/2 ew

 Bath 8.20pm - Love a 3yr old handicap. An interesting pick in My Boy Charles. September last year ran far better than the 9 length beating on paper. Hands and heels ride when no chance. Horses around it running off higher marks and doing well enough in handicaps to suggest off a decent mark back on turf. Wintle knows a good Bath horse and Muscutt rides well here. Tich Toch has the best form and Devils Cub the best chance on CD runs, but I'll take a punt on My Boy Charles

My Boy Chalres 25/1ew

Bets 07.05.2021

 Ascot 1.20 - Hiroshima is chucked in based on that Listed race. I think will stay. Ground will be good. Dawson rides the track well.

Hiroshima 3/1

Ascot 3.30 - Equitation is surely the best handicapped horse here? Ran a cracker last time out and formline is strong. Is a C&D winner and okay have to guess on the draw but typically high work well. It's drfited from 5/1 to 12/1 so maybe someone knows something I don't! Jonah Jones looks pretty solid and PEndleton may be a big threat at 20/1.

Equitation 12/1ew

Bets 06.05.2021

 Frustrated by the results on Saturday. Given the money for battleground before the off surely was the one to beat. Looking at both guineass the draw bias was massive. I wont give up on this or Van Gogh. Essentail Quality missed the break and screwed his chances. Again will back next time out.

Didn't blog on Sunday (again) and of course backed only Mother Earth and it won....

Chester 1.45 - Evans clearly fancies Lihou with the booking of Buick, but I wouldn't book BUick at Goodwood.....he says.

Copper Knight is the best handicapped horse in the race and loves this festival. Clearluy needs to bounce back as a number of disappointing runs in a row, but worth chancing does.

Copper Knight 5/1ew

Chester 2.15 - Onatario has best form and is top rated

Ontario 10/3

Chester 2.45 - Aqauman is chucked in here, but looked all over the place at Chester last time, so just can't back it. WIll risk Melody of Life

Bets 30.04.2021

Well. The NO BET was a winner and the rest shambles.

I think if trainer form is dire then I should stay away and again if draw is not great it's not really worth the risk.

I was luck Killorey drifted to 40/1 and placed. I wonder if wasn't so far held up whether could have won as was fast finishing! Foster's horses really are in dire form. 

1.00 Goodwood - Bimble needed run last time out. C&D winner, Moore booked to get the job done. WIll perhaps develop into a half decent one. Hopefully Green Powed doesnt bounce back to form

Bimble 2/1

 1.50 Musselburgh - Maple Jack has best form in line up, but not a race should be betting in as much as I want to take a punt.

NO BET

3.25 Musselburgh - Boudica Bay is a decent C&D winner of higher marks. Has won from this draw before by keeping close up on the outside, so Phil Dennis better not do anything mental. Horse is definately in form. Was slightly outpaced in last race but then kept of strongly before being really badly hampered. Hard to say if would have won, but given has won off higher marks has got to go very close today. Only concern is trainer form.

Boudica Bay 9/2 ew

4.35 Musselburgh - Yukon looked pretty unlucky last time out. Looked like had nowhere to go when looked to be travelling the best of the field. O'Mear has won last two races and based on debut run, looks well handicapped.

Yukon 7/2 win

3.40 Punchestown - Crowell had a good record in this race and Five Helmets despite an 8lb rise is well handicapped and wholly unexposed here. Big field sure, has to jump well , but ground will really suit more than others.

Five Helmets 5/1 ew

4.15 Punchestown - Jungle Junction is on the upgrade and surely rate higher than hurdles mark. Harrington on fire and with Exit Poll a NR, perhaps very keen on this one. The more speculative is Kildorrey. Decent C&D winner, will love the ground and perhaps that last race against 140+ nags shows good form and well handicapped? Be great to grab a place. Will be tough of course with Entoucas and Sully D'Oc both who I backed last time and hit the crossbar! If Polished Steel bounces back to form could reall;y outrun odd, but a big if.

Jungle Junction 7/1 ew

Kilorrey 28/1 ew

6.00 Punchestown - Dallas De Pictons back to form, course winner, distance winner. Solid 7lb claim and form of Galopin Des Champs is now massive. Neg is trainer form. If oldboy Younowhatimenaharry wins, will be fuming :) Ben Dundee is interesting as is Young Ted who was 2nd in this last year.

Dallas Des Pictons 12/1 ew

Boudica Bay, Yukon, Five Helmets, Jungle Junction, Dallas DEs PIctons in accas

RESET RESET RESET

 Yesterday was a total disaster.

I upped stakes.

I backed without the usual checks.

I followed money and backed blindly.

I chased.

Antepost bets took a turn for the worse.

I've done this about 5 times in the last few years, but I really need a big phat RESET and start to find discipline again as I'm hemorrhaging dollars again. 

I'll take the PnL back to beginning of year (my last RESET) and go from there.

Skybet -£1441.30

All bets going forward.

 Formlines starting to appear and a big week for my Antepost Bets.

Supremacy 6/1 runs today which ought to give indication of chances for the Commonwealth. Essential Quality 8/1 runs in the Kentucky Derby at the weekend and backed into 9/4. Battleground 50/1 runs in the 2k gunieass although right now I think I'm more drawn to Wembley.

Ascot - Stradivsrius may well not win on comeback after last two runs, but is the best on best form. Nayef Road will make it very hard. Supremacy I expect to win even if not fully wound up for the race. Haqeeqy is so unexposed and should improve further to win again.

Odds prohibitive o will just back the treble.

Her Indoors somewhat justified my strong fancy for it at the festival and won well enough at 7/1. Bellosa hosed up at 9/2. Summerhand, Oxted and Emeatty Ana finished 123 even though didnt place a bet and Master of The Seas looked class despite a horrible passage.

Ayr 1.30 - Everglow ran pretty well in the pertemps and was stying on strongly

Everglow 11/2

Ayr 3.15 - If Thenvial bounces to form the walks this home, but even thought the fave Not that Fuisse has the form and stable won last three renewals

Not That Fuisse 13/8

Newbury 1.40 - The form is Came from the Dark and surely goes close. Given is 5f I don't think many have a chance. The one I want to bounce back to form is Tis MArvellous. A major drfiter to 12/1 might signify something amiss, but if runs to the Dubai Internaional form over C&D has a really strong chance.

Tis MArvellous 12/1

Came from Dark 3/1

Newbury 2.15 - GOing back to Jul 2018 JLT over C&D Cleonte looked really unlucky in running. Maybe woulnt have beaten Stratum, but horse is in great form and can win off this mark for sure. I thoght about Hocfiled, but II'm not sure really stays this distance. This is far from an easy race to call unless you go through in masses of detail. Solo Saxophone was routling home last time and could be another to go well. The Gosden nag is totally unexposed but trip unknown

Cleonte 10/1

---

Newbury 2.50 - SHould be swerving this race totally. Minefield. But Calrednon Cross formline too hard to ignore for me even though not fncies at all by the market. HAnnon horses often make major improvement on 4th run as well. Yazaman really well handicapped on best form

Claerendon Cross 28/1

Bets 15.04.2021

 The Mighty Don could have won yesterday if not for last hurdle blunder. Thankfully Ask Dillion won so day not a totla write off.

Given I'm so keen on Supremcy for the COmmonwealth why I did not back Tactical yesterday I'll never know. I also backed the runners high without knowing the draw had moved (Schoolboy error)

2.05 Chelts - Scholatisc is chucked in here and some. Clearly the big concern is ran only 10 days ago.

I was pretty keen on Her Indoors at Chelts but was a big flop. I don't know if was the quicker ground or the track or whether just wasn't as well handicapped as I thought. I'm not one to back a horse at Chelts after has run poorly there before. 

Scholastic 2./1

Peanuts on Her Indoors 7/1

2.40 Chelts - Non runners all over the place which makes the pick Eglantine Du Suil. Was stying on well enough at the festival from the rear but given lost a shoe can mark up. Of 143 ran well over C&D in a MC2H behind the White Mouse

Eglatine Du Seil 10/3

3.50 Chelts - Flowers of Scotland has the form line with Ahoy Senor, and through formlines beats Liberty Bella who is half the rpice.

Flowers of Scotland 9/2

1.15 Newmarket - Bellosa is 25/1 into 7/2 in places. Few quid on it, but blind back. I do normally like a Hannond nag 3rd time out and also Varian has a solid record in this race.

Bellosa 9/2

----

1.50 Newmarket - Interesting. Creative Force looks well handicapped, but maybe the rail helped on debut. Was absolutley cruising in the Coventry but found nothing, and maybe up the centre was not the place to be. Two maybes to think through. Rohaan is the major improver but I can't translate it to turf. For me, Bravado is a decent ew bet here. Will try to make all and go close. I think Signifcantly on the insde might be a threat as looks well handciapped but I can't work out what Clifford Lee will do here. Hopefully misses the break :)

Bravado 12/1ew

---

2.25 Newmarket - Kingsofthemidlands is the only one with a notable g1 entry. Blind backing of that info only

Kingsofthemidlands 4/1

---

3.00 Newmarket -  I want to try tske Oxted on, but given nealry a stone clear on ratings not worth it. The each way is only 2 places and prices without are naff. Summerhand is in great form but given likes to be held up could be left too much to do given the likley pace, but realisitcally the likliest condentor btu can't discount a few of these especially Emaratty Ana who looked really good last time out and ran well enough in this race last year, but needed to be closer to the rail.

---

3.35 Newmarket - This is excting and surely it's between Devilwala and Master of The Seas? either one of them winning franks the form of the gusineas head of markett. Mast of the Seas who I had on the Superaltive Stakes last year looked very very good and was my pick for soemething like the Craven. He just needs to settle better surley and that's why the hood in on. If thsat works can't see it beaten. Naval Crown ran very well yesterday so all good on form.

Devilwala is top rated and and will make all. GIven has the rail draw is not out of it, btu I epxect MOTS to track very closely and romp home.

Master of The Seas 3/1

No one told me this before i researched and bet (facepalm). I would ignore all mine at HQ now. Urgh

 

Considering how much I normally look at the draw to totally forget about it yesterday was shocking. The rail made a lot of difference. Maxi was held up and had no chance from the position, ROyal Champion never looked like winning but Secrteinthepark I'm convinced was only beaten by the draw.

2.25 NM - An interesting Listed Handicap. Dark Lion on best C&D form wins this

Dark Lion 11/1

3.00 NW - Marie's Diamond to make all

Maries DIamond 13/2

3.35 NW - Divine LIght 13/2

2.05 Chelts - Coole Coode brings strong Chelts form to the table 

Coole Coddy 4/1

3.50- Ask Dillion looks okay here. I tink the Chelts form took a hit at Aintree as meetings were too close togehter so willing to give the form a try

Ask Dillion 11/2

4.25 - The Mighty Donw runs well here. I like the look of form against HappyGoLucky.

The Mighty Don 7/1

5.00 Elthm Vallet 10/3

 1.35 - Trainer relatively bullish about this.

Forca Brasil 9/4

2.45 - Hortzadar brings the Licoln Form and surely I should be follwoing this? Yes. Bu no. I think Maxi Boy is better handicapped. Assuming it stays, has a decent long stride and was a good return to action. Was running in G2 races last year and even just from the superlative stakes is surely 5 or 6lbs well in.

If Oh This is Us bounces back to form all in trouble but on paper is looking regressive now.

Maxi Boy 5/1

3.20 - Varian runners going well and this one looked top drawer on debut

Royal champion 11/4

3.55 - TInto 16/1 is a crazy price. Unlukcy last 4 races. Runms well at the course, 7f will 100% suit and Crolwy booked. Eton College could follow up as MJ nags lovely buiilding up a chain of wins but at prices I'll risk Tinto.

Tinto 16/1

Kentucky Derby - Essential Quality 8/1 - UNPLACED :(

2000 Guineas - Admiral Nelson 25/1 - NOT RUN

2000 Guineas - Battleground 50//1 - UNPLACED :(

Commonwealth Cup - Supremacy 6/1

Oaks - Noon Star 12/1

Bets 10/04.2021

 Hit a 22/1 & 3/1 double yesterday (and didn't blog) LOL. Maybe this really is a jinx :)

1.45 - I had backed Uknowatimenaharry and Janika at Chelts and they ran well enough, but most horses from the Chelts festival, unless they had a relatively easy race (generally) are not performing as well. Granted it's a different track as well. Either way will be livid if either of these win :)

Right a huge shortlist:

• Tea Clipper has the best form my a long shot, but how much did Chelts take it out of the horse?
• Jai Froid is improving fast and bolted in again last time, but how good can it really be to win a race like this with anohter 13b rise?
• Ashdown Lad potentially well handicapped based on race at Uttoexter, but poor last two time
• Kid Commando running really well in defeat at this distacnce. Won PTP at 3m so could be a bit of a plot here
• Tommy Rapper not stayer over way too far. A really solid 2nd 2year backs and condtions will suit today

Kid Commando 22/1 ew

Tommy Rapper 33/1 ew

Rfc

2.25 - My Drogo should win this, and perhaps wroth a small double with Tea Clippe. But the form of Dreal Deal is rocks solid and looks to still be improving. If Tizzard was in better form I'd be keen on the outsidee Striking a Pose. Instead I also like a strong improver in Minella Times

Dreal Deal 6/1
Minella TImes 12/1

Rfc

3.35 - Thyme Hill should win right? Maybe put it in acca with Tea Clipper and My Drogo :)

I think Diol Ker looks decent and if Thrid Wind keeps improgin also has a chance.

Diol Ker 11/1
Third Wind 14/1

Rfc

4.05 - Again whack HappyGolucky who has the best form here in the fave acca. But at a bigger price Mr Fagen looks class again. Just hope doesn't bounce.

Mr Whipped would be some training performacne but it's a big risk. Johnbb up in trip but 100% still improving could be interestin

Mr Fagan 12/1
JohnBB 11/1

Rfc

5.15 - Normally use last year as a guide and generally do well with ew. with no last year makes it harder for me and CLoth Cap is of course the worthy fave so stick it in the fave acca :)

I've ended up backing so many antepost now, can't back any more

2.50 - Clondaw Castle 13/2 

3.25 - JAson The Milliant 3/1 / If Buvier De Air back to form 10/1 could be big

4.05 - Billaway 11/4 / Sametagal 

4.40 - Finally a handicap. Sully D'Oc 12/.1 close enough to Clondaw Caslte who I really fancy for the 2.50. I did lke EditorDuGite but on form SDO wins again based on their race at Ascot.

If Destrier 9/2 bounces back wins.

5.15 - EIlendover 4/5

Meydan 5.25 - Velorum 5/1

Bets 03.04.2021

 1.50 - The best handicapped horse in this race over C&D and conditions is Muntadab. Despite running a string of bad races backend of last year didn't get much respite form the handicapper. Dropped 6lb since last race, draw is good enough, Fell had a decent enough day yesterday, is a C&D winner, Curtis back onnboard and has been some money for this. All points to a good run I hope

Muntadab 14/1ew

3.00 - Can't find an angle on this. COpper Knight well handicapped and Caspian PRicnce I was hoping would do better in Meydan, but ran a blinge in G2 last time might go well again in this race. No major confidence on either.

Copper Knight 8/1

Caspian Prince 12/1

 Didn't blog it yesterday :( but hit Gun MEtal 15/2 and Aced IT 12/1 Plus double winner.... 

Typically only used 25% of normal stakes! D'oh

Messing around with form numbers today and only on low stakes..... Looking a best form horse has ever produced with todays race conditions. So some will have bounce back and others will be old, but it's good prctice form reading....not always best for betting unless other factors come together.

2.10 Fontwell - Only Gorgeous is chucked in on best form. Granted is old and has to bounce back

11/2 win

3.10 Fontwell - Backed Bashful BOy last time at much bigger odds than today but is well handicapped Im sure

11/4 win

3.40 Fontwell - Away Fro Slates looked well last time out and hopefully maintains that fomr

11/4 win

4.10 FOntwerll - Tentative on Heres Herbie. Feeling the oldies today. lol

4.40 FOntwell - Orchaestratred to bounce back to form with CPs? major IF

2.20 Statford - Nightfly 11/2 best on old form

2.30 Wincanton - THe Last but One 16/1 wins on best form, but is in **** form

4.00 Wincanton - Three Way 12/1 best handicappe don old form. Given current form could come last.

5.20 Wolves - LEt Rip 15/2

Both ahead in market are of course well handicapped but no form at Wolves wherease Fiorland has smashed it here already

8.20 WOlves - Epic Pass 6/1. Mj merkage for last race of day

Bets 27.03.21

 Early season always tough for me as I try to play formlines, but as always let's crack it. Post Aintree starts to come together.

I've given up on PnL. I just don't have time. I can see from the only two betting accounts I use now I'm up £1k since start of the year so all good.

Doncaster 2.00 - There's 9lb separating this field ignoring the rock bottom Striding Edge. 

On current ratings Space Traveller wins this. 4lb clear on rating and a course winner. I think I'd feel better if had a notable jockey booking though.

Varian farms the race but with strong favourites and whilst Father of JAzz has strong AW form yet to be seen on turf.

Monthatam was imprioving quickly last year expect for last race. I backed a lot of Haggas runners backend of last year  most of which flopped. Given he is 2-2 already this season supsect this is the likley winner.

The outsider I'm going to back is Trais Fluors. I feel like should maybe have won the Listed race at Navan last summer and was travelling really well in the G3 Clipper before not finding much off the bridle. He was highly touted for Fabre. Condon couldn't get the best out of him so it's a punt but maybe Channon can. At peak this nag has the best ratings in the field

Trais Flours 33/1ew

Monthatam 7/2 win

Doncaster 2.35 - I feel this lacks depth. I can't see many decent improving nags or maybe I've lost my vision. Maybe is Poet's Lady?

Last few years low draw has been the place to be. Total gamble playing it like this as can of course change year to year and who knows what watering might happen. Saw some videos suggesting gorund was like concrete few days back!

As I can't see anything improving to win this, will look for an exposed horse on a decent mark , with fitness and decent enough run last time out. And yes lowish draw.

Obviously if Aquitted bounces back to form it wins but don't think necessarily worth the punt.

Dawaaleeb running well enough at the moment should enjoy the return to turf here. Was 4th in this a couple years back and 5lbs lower should see him go close.

Howzer Black takes more explaining but this claimer has ridden two blinders on HB at Ayr and I think can go close here. Form of last race working out well even if only a c5 race, pulled lengths clear of 3rd.

Dawaaleeb 16/1ew

Howzer Black 28/1ew

Poets Lady 10/1 win

Doncaster 3.10 - Even though same C&D winners of this are drawn high. But I remember Beloved Love switching from high to middle few years back and even Auxerre last year moved otward middle/low where ground is maybe quicker. Guess maybe in this race horses have the class to overcome the draw? Who knows. Not me.

This race generally goes to an improving sort and I can only really see 4 (Haaqey, Brenfdor Hope, Danhay and maybe Eastern World)

None of them looked more impressive though than Brentford Hope who toyed his oppoenents last time out and only ip

You know me though, got to find a big ew and at 66/1 Graphite stands out massively. Okay draw not great and been off for a long time, but Kent excelled with Ataser last year and I knew was really well handicapped. It was there on paper for everyone to see. As is this. Just pipped by the Rev in a G3, if can rev this one up after a long absnece must have a good ew shout. 

Brentford Hope 9/1 ew

Graphite 66/1ew

Doncaster 3.45 - IF Brando breaks well e wins.

Brando 5/1

Doncaster 4.55 - Leroy Leroy chucked in. I was really keen on this at Chelts in Nov, but a total flop. back ovr 10f is really well in if tuned up.

Hit over £2,300 profit antepost with Chelts. During the week about £600 down. 

1.00 Newbury - Garry Clemment 15/2 ew. Back over hurdles. Potentially realy well handicapped based on that Larnger Dan form. Looked to be running back to form last chase race. Hopefully spot on back over hurdles.

1.30 Newbury I should be back Jesrey Bean at 7/1 but am chasing a loss on Admiral Barraty 7/1 ew. Cost me over £1k just before chelts. I think is still well handicapped and form still pretty good. backin C3 after been thrown in Listed race. Was haevily backed in that race to be pulled up after not travelling.

1.20 JCB - Only been interested in Zanahiyr in the run up. Should have backed Antepost but for soem reason did not!

Zanahiyr 6/4

1.55 County Hurlde - I was going to back Champagne GOld at 14s but price crashed to 7s. Suspect due to the supberg Blackmore. Instead from the same formline I will go with Eclair De Beaufeu.

Was travelling the best in the county hurdle couple years back. I think has improved since. Went very close in the Grand Annual last year. In the last race was not given a hard time at all until jumped the last so will finish much better and sure Jack knows not to go too early

I thought really hard about Third TIme Lucky. Guess the For Pleasure did okay but still so far of 1st and 2nd and Botox was pulled up so the Chelts form he has not fully flourished.

Anna Burina was intesting at 100/1

Gowel ROad is chucked in in my books based on that last race. HAs a huge chance.

Gowel Road 14/1ew

Eclair De Beaufeu 9/1 ew

2.30 Albert Barlett - 

Golden Doyen is intesting. Trainer thinks has come under the radar at a big price. It didn't travel or jump well over C&D, the hill was a challenge and on ratings it should have won anyway. It beat flooring potter in handciap but was giving 13lb, and clearly FLooring as imprived every race after but not seen that in GD.

Fakiera looks like the obvious AB horse and I think can turn the tables on Staller. Came from  long way back and not given a hard time.

The Other I must back is Threeunderfive. Got good sped rating, improving rapidly and form of last race is looking good.

Fakeira 5/1

Threeunderfive 11/1 ew

3.05 Gold Cup.

I have Minell Indo Antepost in an acca but not as a single. Clearly form has been franked.

Royal P is improving of course but surely can't improve that much on this ground?

Native comes here in solid form but ground against and even if upto 6lbs better since last GC can't turn tables with ABP

Champ has beaten Minello Indo who beaten by Kemboy who beaten by A Plus Tard who came from so far back to win last time out. Was a serious performance.

The other formline is Frodon. Beat a decent bunch as Kempton includng Santini. Nicholls could have a decent day and we could see a female jockey 1-2 today. Would be immense

Martinhal's form is on show as race he won producing winner on marks that makes me think this one is well handicapped.

Happy Diva didn't underperform as much as rating suggests? Crusied into contention and maybe needs better ground these days. Ran really well in this race last year and hopefully a decent chance.

Top Notch 2nd in the JLT years back. I'm backing the fact wind surgery sticks a rocket up it's arse to bring it back to form.

Eanon De Craic might be a pipe plot. If see money for it will chuck some coins on.

2.30 Coral Cup Jasnika and Monte Cristo.

Janika is totally chucked in here. Group horse in a handicap. Was rated 165 chaser. If runs to the 158 as did in Reekel this wins.

Monte Cristo was a tp I got from someone (yes you Hakkan) last year and spunked loads antepost on it for the triumph. anyway clearly was well thoguth of and totally hosed up last time so maybe now found it's mojo to keep progressing.

Blu Sari has rock flat form with Envoi Ellen but not yet seen it replicste over jumps.

 1.20 - Supreme - I have Appreciate it 3/1 AntePost. I don't think I'd be tipping it again at 5/4 but still fancy it to win.

Ballydam travelled much further than Appreciate It last time and screwed the last fence so suspect will be much closer this time assuming can jump cleanly. Who knows what impact change of yard would have had.

Metier smashed the Tolworth. Ground has come a bit more into favour but  maybe jumps a bit to the right?

Blue Lord looked decent last time out in the same race as AI and Bally. Given was off the bridle before both and finished 6l behind Bob Olinger over 2m4f I just think this stiff track will suit over shorter. Blue Bresil Sire has a solid record at Chelts as well.

For Pleasure won the trial and if makes all again at a decent pace not sure who it will suit best or maybe he just wont be caught

Irascrible I just cant find an angle for this one

Soaring Glory. Romped the Betfiar hurdle and has beaten Bravesmans Game! Surely must have a decent chance as well.

In summary this is bloody hard :)

ANTEPOST - Appreciate It 3/1 £50

Blue Lord 10/1 £25ew

1.55 Arkle - Can't see beyond Shiskin

Think Shiskin will whallop Allmankind up the hill. AMK will come back and win at Aintree :)

Captain Guineass is better than Fracno De Port on Collateral form but have to be worried about CG jumping but is maybe the biggest threat is jumps cleanly?

Ellerdo Allen well held by Shiskin and not heard of Numitor

Shiskin in an acca but not on the nose

Captain Guineass for the ew acca only

2.30 Ultima - I have backed Aye Right 16/1 Antepost.

Happygolucky is the improving nag with solid festival form here. It's his to lose. Finding it hard to find anything else. 

I still like Aye Right and happy with the ew, but not sure can beat Happygolucky.

Native Milan ran well at festival last year but I think you are betting on whether wind op improved this one over a stone. Up 8lbs from last year and had a 7lb claimer. 

The Wolf ran okay in AB and maybe an interesting ew. The Hendo nags are always a worry in these handicaps but looks like National main target so wouldnt want an awfully hard race?

Alnadam is the other improver I like. Skelton had had a stormer this year no reason this can't be another big handcap winner

3.05 Champion Hurdle - Epatante for the bouble,

Eptante was something special in the fifghting fifth. I think all Hendo nags were rubbish over Xmas but still ran a decent RPR at kempton.

I think Honeysuckle maybe better over 2m4f, that said stamina at chelts always a plus. Hopefully we see a decet fight up the hill.

Goshen should have won the triumph. Maybe not by the 10 lengths was ahead before unseated rider and yes beat AMK but I dont think he a chelts horse so not convinced on the form

Abracadrbas looks a rock solid ew and could have won the Supreme last year.

Sharajah I think  held by Eptante and Silver Streak thumped Epatnate but hopefully yard form as above was reason.

Could back many of these but will stick with one.

Epatante £50 7/2

3.40 MAres Hurlde - Concertica looks decent right.

Roskana is having a great time of things but I worr about dropping back in trip.

Dame De Comp was a lovely winner of the Coral last year and probably biggest theat and one for the ew

Concerista £50 11/8

Dame De COmpaign for the ew acca

4.15 Juvenil Hurlde - Struggling to get away from Houx Gris. 

Hous Grix was cantering in a G1 last time out before hitting a wall. The form of race is good. Race in France is decent as Homme Public bolted up last race and think thats a mid 130s horse even though keeps mark of 125. So whilst could argue Homme Public is the value sounds like Nicholls has plotted this one up. Hopefully it's not Hell Red he has plotted up :)

Balko Saint would have been a solid bet had not blown mark by running in a novice race.

Another towards bottom of weights I like is Her Indoors. I'm convinced Talking About You ran to form at DOncaster and the collateral form proves the TAY mark is right. Therefore Her Indoors is potentially well handicapped as should be around 135 mark or so. 

Houx Gris £25ew 11/2

Her Indoors £25ew 33/1

4.50 NH CHallenge CUp - Remastered to make all

I like the way Remasterted bolted up at Ascot and Wetherby last time. I think is easily a 150+ nag.

I backed Escaria Ten for the Kim Muir pre wegiths. Stupid. Would have been a handicap blot. Danger.

Mighty Don was a bit tempting as I like the form with HappygoLucky but will stick with one
