 13.30 - Echo Point to lead to set the race up for Colour Up who is best on overall numbers. The unknown to me is Midland Money. Best on official ratings but shown nothing at Meydan yet including poor trials, though prob find some excuses.

Colour Up 2/1

14.05 - Union Security best on numbers overall and won fto last year and went into the tracker. Ten Carat Harry best on official numbers but no form here yet. One to watch.

Union Security 7/4

14.40 - Jeyoush and Ghazi Al Hosn ran decent trials last week with similar timings. Oisin rides at a 3% SR and AAAB 0%, so sadly can't back them. Golden Majestic will bolt out and try to make all and considered an ew but hard to know can make top 3 as can't assess most of field. Will leave this one.

No Bet

15.15 - Oddly Inzati is best on all round numbers but looks to be a blip as was raced in a G1 here on dirt. There are a lot of big priced horses here lurking under their best marks but hard to know who'll turn up. The one who is second best on numbers is Qareeb. If you can write off last year and imagine a change of stables brings this on back to life then is way too big. Obviously it's a big if, but a stable change has before done the trick with Qareeb winning 3 times in a season including over C&D first time up. Awesome Fleet in my tracker last year, but didn't do much. Could well have improved as was promise there. Shepperton Lodge and Norato and top of market and likeliest winners, but chancing the bigger price / best value.

Qareeb 18/1ew

15.50 - Brotherly Love is the best horse in race, but it's a handicap and not sure if best chance at weights. That said, been gelded and suspect could have a decent season. Royal Favour not sure if a good mark, Sirocco Winds looks highly progressive and bolted up lto. At the prices Nyaar is interesting, but even with a pull not sure can beat Sirocco Winds. 

Sirocco Winds 4/1

16.25 - Backed Na Eem few times last year but just didn't produce. Marsood is best on official ratings and walked home winning very easily last week in the trials. Given the prices and given Oisin's current SR will play a double instead. 

14.40 Jeyoush / 16.25 Marsood Double 4/1

5.00 - Quality Humour and Crown Estate best on numbers. Quality Humour best on numbers despite poor SR, if at best can finally win. Crown Estate has run under belt and C&D winner

Crown Estate 8/1ew

Quality Humour 12/1ew

Colour Up, Sirocco Winds, Union Security 28/1 treble

Qareeb, Crown Estate 170/1 ew double

Bets 23/10/2026

Champions Day was a bit of a recovery with a 7/1 winner and most others placing, but been a tough end to flat season regardless.

2.10 Doncaster - If Rousing Encore wins today and I don't back it will be sods law, but Golden Mind is actually better handicapped. Can make all to win today. 

Golden Mind 12/1ew

2.45 Doncaster - Zoum Zoum clear on numbers. Back in a handicap on soft ground. All the conditions set up for a return to form.

Zoum Zoum 9/1ew

5.05 Doncaster - Intense Vision been running in c2races on ground doesn't like all season. Expecting to see a different horse on soft. Best form in race.

Intense Vision 4/1

Ew trixie

Bets 17/10/2026

 12.55 - No trends given only second renewal. Likely want a horse whose not had a long season and whilst Arapaho Gold has produced best numbers at this distance, Dods is 0/30 atm so no chance can back it. Night In Vegas is a decent C&D winner, but not sure can beat Satellite of Love again carrying 6lb more. Inner City Blue ran fairly flat lto. As per the ew Cox double I'm set on Satellite of Love. Won a listed race pretty easily last time out and likely a 110+ horse

Satellite of Love 13/2ew

1.30 - Three year old haven't won this before. Caballo meets trends but maybe had a tough race only 2 weeks back? Has been going all season so fair play if wins. Also is he as could over 2m vs further? Gregory on the other hand lightly raced and looked back to best lto. Course winner, distance winner and whilst 3rd best on numbers I thought would be favourite. Queenstown probably like the step up but not won over 1m6f yet so enough for me to leave.

Gregory 7/2

2.05 - I was really keen on Coppull months ago for this race, but having looked at the goingstick I have big problem:

1m to 3f: Stand side 8.2 Centre 8.0, Far side 7.8
3f to finish: Stand side 8.6, Centre 8.4, Far side 7.7.

Looking at this if you're not drawn high you're done for. It may miraculously change by tomorrow like Ascot does but I'm keen to play one one of the higher drawn horses also. I'd have considered Great Wish if drawn higher but I landed on Samangan. Like the ped. Stays bit more than 6, which is great for Ascot. Graffard is flying. High draw. A nice strongly run race and loves this time of the year.

Samangan 12/1ew

Coppull 20/1ew (Antepost)

2.40 - I hate getting caught up in draw stats, but hard to ignore that in this race bottom half of draw won twice vs top half ten. 2 v 10. No time to look at the horses ground, etc of those previous runs, but the two horses I liked were Kalpana and Johanna Walsh. Kalpana is best on numbers, but I see also only one 5year old has ever won this? I think be quite fitting for Minnie Hawk to bounce back to form to win before retirement. Meets all the trends.

Minnie Hawk 7/1ew

3.20 Up until the going stick came out was still keen on Ten Bob Tony. Not sure now with the potential draw bias. Either way it's hugely competitve on numbers. behind Gstaad who is clear on numbers. Ten Bob beat him lto, but you can make a strong case for half a dozen of these so I'm not following up on any more.

Ten Bob Tony 12/1ew (Antepost)

4.00 Calandagan is best on numbers, followed by Ombudsman.

Calandagan 2/1

4.35 - Bullet Point will make all up the favoured part of the track. Scoville will track and pounce. Won so easily lto, I want to take him on but frankly it's foolish given how much got left in hand. Indalo, Hickory, Ebts Guard and  Bullet Point to fight it out for places.

Scoville 4/1

Did a few multis

Satellite Of Love / Coppull ew double

Calandagan / Scoville / Gregory ew treble

Graffard (Calandagan / Rayif / Samangan ) ew treble

York 1.30 - Battle Fever 16/1ew

Newmarket 3.40 - High Fibre 22/1ew

Bets 09/10/2026

York 13.30 - Always try to take on short faves in big field handicaps but might be tough to do in this race. Beagle Bay form is rock solid and this is a much easier race in a lower grade. Beckett stats are strong for this race and is in decent form. Only nag is the draw up the centre but seems the pace is only up the centre. Northern Express and Glenfinnan are best on numbers, but Dods, even though placed a few times in this race has not had a winner in 26 runners, so cannot play them. If the ground was quicker would have considered Nikovo, but it's not!

Beagle Bay 2/1

York 2.40 - Harper Violet could well be chucked in and the money for it is interesting, but with only 3 races under belt and fact won't get an easy lead will leave be. Mythical Bay has pieces added which could see bounce back to form but too risky. I like both Beckett's and Haggas horses in this. Tierra and Glory Road both come from the best formlines from the Melrose where they both had awful draws. Haggas has won this race 3 times before, has a crazy record with beaten favs, Ghaiyyath 3yo are decent for this race condition, and with the tongue tie back on when bolted up by 4lenghts in handicap plus the step up in distance are all making me side with Gaspacho.

Gaspacho 7/1ew

York 3.40 - Back Furturra in a nursery handicap at York back in July as think is well handicapped over C&D. Easterby had the winner in this last year and watching Furturra's last race, was cruising, last off the bridle, but couldn't quite see it out on the heavy ground. Hopefully still in good form, and been some early money for it which taking as a good sign.

Furturra 11/1ew

York 4.25 - Blindly going to look only at the 3yr olds who do much better then their elders. Given how close Exclamation was to winning a C2 handicap at Sandown and how hampered the horse was lto bit crazy to see it sitting at 40/1. May well just be one to back at Sandown nto instead but willing to find out at the prices esp has had a couple of winners of late, who also has a decent record when sending one long distances. Boldomero looks dangerous off this mark, but given age point leaving this one. Halo Spaceboy takes big drop back into handicap company and can go close, esp given is a course winner.

Exclamation 40/1ew

Halo Spaceboy 13/2ew

Bets 03/10/2026

 Going through a dark patch atm, but I keep applying the same approach and hopefully out the hole soon enough.

1.15 Ascot - American Gal 12/1ew

1.50 Ascot - Floruesence 13/2ew

3.00 Ascot - Division 2/1 best on ratings. Sayidah Dariyan was interesting at a big ew price, but think wants further to be at best.

3.35 Ascot - Such a big bias yesterday I immediately went to the high draws but doesn't seem to be any pace high so will skip Artic Dawn who is quite tempting. That said they watered yesterday so who knows what will happen today. Poet Master best on numbers but not the typical profile for this race. That said could make all and have the class to see it out given hardly any other front runner. 

Realign 20/1ew

Bet 26/09/2026

 1.22 Newmarket - Tracker horse who should have won lto. Stable on fire. SDS better push the go button quicker this time. Was going to put up later tonight, but price is being battered. Still an ew price which works for me.

Fire Thunder 6/1ew

1.35 Haydock - Stepping back into handicap company Commander's Intent has a decent chance to win this as ran a decent enough race on soft at Chantilly in a listed race

Commanders Intent 13/2ew

3.15 Haydock - Rousing Encore 6/1ew best formlines. Ran blinder from wrong side lto. Risk is only ran last weekend on heavy

3.28 Ripon - I'm Next 8/1ew best formlines. Ran blinder from wrong side lto. Risk is only ran last weekend on heavy

3.40 Newmarket - Very few front runners makes this quite hard to assess. Likeliest front runner is drawn and couple in the middle. but arguable nothing up high, which makes it hard to back Hand of God who am drawn to the most. I spent over an hour looking at this race and made a case for so many. Salam D 65's will try to make all and maybe hang on for a place at big price. Spanish Voice, screwed by draw lto, likes the course and is deffo progressive. Asmen Warrior 40's very interesting, but drawn high and is Alcarth looks to be getting better every race. Not sure can nail the winner in such a wide open contest with lack of pace certainity. 

Spanish Voice 16/1ew to try make all up the middle

Alcarath 16/1ew to get decent tow into race from Salam D
