 Finding winners in favourites atm to keep me afloat. Struggling with big field handicaps atm but we go again. Rare Sunday punting.

1.35 Donny - Tried to find something to beat Hypnotised 4/1, but looks pretty solid. Looks progressive

1.45 Curragh - Tango Flare 25/1 ew. Top 5 on numbers. Won this last year. Historically has shown can bounce back poor runs and versatile with running style. Needs to make sure doesn't get stuck on the rail.

1.55 Donny - Indian Run 11/1ew best on numbers

TREBLE 7/2 - 2.15 Curragh - Star of State 4/7 - Miles clear on ratings double with 2.50 Curragh - Sun Goddess 10/11 - Miles clear on ratings with 4.35 Curragh - Scandinavia 2/5 Miles clear on ratings

2.30 Donny - Wechaad 5/2 crept back into form and can win again since this time last year

3.05 Donny - Touleen surely the best horse here. Should be a G1 winner. The cheekpieces bother me though a lot. Forty Years On most likley winner, but with 20 runners bit short. Chance on Copacabana Sands 25/1ew who has come back into form but was running to 106 last year.

3.25 Curragh - Time For Sandals 5/1 should have won the Nunthorpe. If in the same form wins this. Cover Up 16/1 ew is too big also

3.40 Donny - If Fantasy World 12/1ew bounced back to form can win this

5.45 Curragh - God of Power 12/1ew if can take form of last race literally is very well handicapped.

2.20 Donny - Toca Madera 9/1ew

2.55 Donny - More Thunder 5/4 best on numbers

3.55 Donny - Enceladus 5/2

4.00 Lingfield - Kylian 7/1ew

4.15 Donny - Blue Courvoisier 6/1ew

Bets 11/09/2026

 2.25 - Carry The Flag 5/1ew to make all. 

3.00 - Caballo De Mar 5/4 best on numbers

3.35 - Room Fourteen 15/2ew the value with 15lb pull against Silver Lake

4.10 Victoria Night 5/4 racecourse experience and nearly beat a good marker in 90s on debut.

Bets 05/09/2026

Ascot 1.40 - Can see why Thunder Call is fave. At the price, given 3year olds are 1-29 and not yet a distance winner like the last 10 winners, maybe worth taking on. Cox is not really firing so okay to push aside Addison Grey. Two Tribes ran a blinder behind Amazing Journey over C&D before having nothing right at Goodwood and easy to ignore a Shergar Cup run. Glenfinnan tough with step up in class and the Fingal Raven is ahead of Silver Ghost on form. In fact the Fingal Raven, as long as ground stays good is huge at 40/1. Could easily have won a big handicap at Glourious Goodwood and think ground too slow lto.

The Fingal Raven 40/1ew

Two Tribes 11/2 ew

Ascot 4.35 - Slight risk as first run back in while but for me has the best creds for this race. The formlines are decent and ran pretty well over C&D in the Coventry considering antics on the day.

American Gulf 11/1ew

Ascot 5.10 - Underwriter should have won the Whispering Angel at Ascot over C&D against older horses. Chance to redeem self in a harder race but at the prices is very good value.

Underwriter 25/1ew

---

Haydock 1.25 - Hankelow 11/2ew - Best on numbers on this ground. Third in French Guineas on very soft and not had ground since. Dancing Gemini best overall, but given Burke won this last two years supporting the hatrick. 

Haydock 2.30 - Lopeo 10/1ew arguable best career run at Goodwood on heavy. Back on heavy. Distance a question mark, but at 10s I play.

Haydock 3.40 - Kind of Blue 4/1

Bets 29/08/2026

2.00 Goodwood - Was going to lean towards Rhosolyn as is clear on numbers, but not convinced ground will be soft enough. I thought I was unlucky not to place with Darkness lto at 40/1 who was flying home. I backed him earlier in the week at 14/1 but now the draw is out I'm not okay. I couldn't get the draw right at Glorious Goodwood but it's tough to back Darkness from 15, even if has a solid chance. 

Ghost Mode looks to have a very good chance but would want an ew price.

Taking a chance with Pelitory. Beat a decent handicapper in Crimson Spirit lto. I always looking to back an O'Meara horse in this and I assume Tudhope had the choice of 3 and meet all the race trends I look for.

Pelitory 22/1ew

2.35 Goodwood - High Degree looks the likely winner here, but with Haggas's last winner was 17 races ago, at 2/1 I couldn't play it. Oneforthegutter is best on numbers. Ragthar is interesting too, but Tony Montana is where I go. Did well from a wide draw, best of those held up, plenty of traffic issues but still got very close to Al'Ali and on collateral form could argue is therefore better handicapped than High Degree. Trainer in very good form atm also.

Tony Montana 5/1ew

4.15 Curragh - Lourhea meets all the trends, and Engines On will try to make all. 

Lourhea 7/1ew

Engines On 50/1ew

6.00 Windsor - Assuming is fit and ground slowish White Birch clear in numbers

White Birch 6/1ew

4.45 - Dance A Jig 13/2ew

Bets 20/08/2026

Air Force annoyingly won and annoying missed the price on Henley on Thames at 10s else was backing that. Not sure why I forgot I'd backed Item at 25s antepost and didn't put it up. Anyhow, rain could cause carnage, but let's go.

1.50 - Simmering Sun meets all the trends I want in this and price looks too big when looking at collateral form with likes of Wild Blossom

Simmering Sun 22/1ew

2.25 - Thought really hard about taking on Sun Goddess, but not sure the rain, the draw and a 7lb penalty will stop the win as is so far ahead of mark. Thought about Cox's horses given his record and also Thebestisyettocome and Innichen.

TBC

3.00 - Looking for an improver here and I like the Ian Williams pair. Wouldn't be surprised if Checkandchallenge ran into a place as it best handicapped in race, but hard to go against the typical winning profile. Blue Brother very interesting also.

TBC

3.35 - Legacy Link's course form counts for a lot. 3 year olds do well in the race and watching the RIbblesdale I'm happy to draw a line through it

Legacy Link 14/1ew

4.10 TBC

4.45 - Assuming will be soft by now and Soldier Of The Sea will benefit as whilst early days Blackbeards seem to like soft. On top of this Gentle Hurricane ran pretty well today and Soldier went close to beating it whilst carrying 7lb more. Holds a G2 entry. Revels formlines look good, but drawn 20, not sure.

Soldier of The Sea 18/1ew

5.20 - Again, assuming is soft Caim will benefit and is ahead of mark.

Caim 14/1ew
