 Champions Day not great, but Kind of Blue finally came through so very happy about that.

2.05 Donny - Ah I was praying Aberama Gold 7/1 was going to be drawn high, but alas. I can't not back it though as is the best handicapped horse in the race by a long way. Blue Storm 6/1 is going to be tough to beat I think though.

2.40 Donny - Royal Playright 14/1ew

3.15 Donny - Promethean 8/1ew

3.50 Donny - We Dare To Dream 12/1ew. Wild Nature/WDTD fc 21/1

4.25 Donny - Baradar 11/1ew, Rhythm Master 22/1ew

1.10 Chelts - Guard Your Dreams 6/1

2.20 Chelts - Vanillier 20/1w, Kinondo Kwetu 20/1ew

A lot of caution this weekend. Ground could be a bog and I hate bog betting.

1.20 - Sweet William 10/1ew & Trawlerman 6/1

1.55 - Not sure what will happen with draw. Think pace maybe more lower and historically lower draw on soft does better here. Still gutted about Kind of Blue in the sprint stakes. Would have been some payday. I have this Kind of Blue 20/1 AP, but today I prefer James Delight 12/1ew. Moore/Cox combo is decent. Horse is still improving and should have beaten Spycatcher lto (fluffed start)

2.35 - I want a 3 year old that is still improving and is a proven stayer. 

Content, Kalpana and Grateful are the highest rated 3year olds and with their allowance in effect are top rated. Content ran too poorly to be true last time out and Study of Man (Kalpana mare), doesn't have the best G1 record and offspring yet to win at Ascot so at 3/1 that's a big risk especially as not proven on soft.

Grateful improved maybe half a stone last time out running on soft for the first time over a distance longer than today and would have romped with a clear run. Is bred beautifully and for sure still improving. For me 18/1ew Grateful is a decent ew.

Thought Wingspan could improve further up in trip but Grateful has already proven it.

Smaller play on Content 6/1 as is the best horse in the race.

3.15 - Henry Longfellow 8/1ew. Solid form at Ascot and on soft. Top rated at the weights.

4.35 - I backed Bopedra 12/1ew and Mr Professor 16/1ew, but State Actor 8s, Mexicali Rose 28s all tick my lists

 Always nice to bang a 25/1 in. Can't believe missed Empirestateofmind. Said was one of best handicapped in Cambridgeshire. Won 18/1 today. Damn.

Ascot 2.25 - Al Aasy 2/1.Trappy race. Best horse on best form is Hamish, but not looked right last two runs. Al Aasy absolutely trounced Al Qareem last time out so no reason to back against this time.

Ascot 3.00 - Vadream 7/1ew. Assuming stays soft best horse over this distance in these conditions.

Ascot 3.35 - United Approach 16/1ew is well handicapped. I was hoping would only get a small rise lto as was giving away 3-4lbs plus 3lb to the winner's claimer. Purely on paper despite the rise is 3-4lb head of mark. The draw could play a big part so I'm sticking with one. Hopeful of at least a place.

Newmarket 1.30 - La Pasionaria 14/1ew. The Musidora form says this could potentially be very well handicapped.

---

Redcar 4.30 - Naepoint 7/2. C& winner. Bethell hot atm. 8/12 with Irish bred 8-10f handicaps at Redcar. Draw good
