Draw hurt Sir Garfield today. Was quite keen on it. Very close with Under The Starlight, but anyway only a couple points down as Pershaada won at 4/1.

Going wild today. 

1.50 - Going left field with this. I found holes with most I liked so rather look for a bigger priced one. Step up in distance should be fine.

Lion of Alba 20/1ew 

4.10 - Anyone who followed me on Call Margot at 25s at Epsom will remember how unlucky we were. Just like that race I have no idea why is so big at 20's today. Goodwood and Epsom are pretty similar and Call Margo once again is going to get Nana's Shadow helping to set the pace like at Epsom. Call Margot should have beaten Nana's Shadow easily and this time gets a 17lb pull with the decent claimer included. 17lb!!!

 Wasn't a huge amount of money for it at Epsom, so not worried if drifts and I put a line through lto on slower ground. If Call Margot doesn't get too keen, surely has a huge chance. Stable in good form, draw is fine, pace is fine, numbers are good. Fingers crossed. 

Call Margot 20/1ew

4.45 - I liked Cash Cove in this, but his draw means shouldn't play with fire. Another big price that has some value is My Aali Baba. Got course form under belt and the winner of that now has a G1 entry. Gelded before last race and well enough. Should come on again. I like jockey booking and A'Ali is 23% in 2yr old handicaps....I think the Supreme King would have won today if drawn the other side (Sir Garfield was also impacted), but means think stable form is good too.

My A'Ali Baba 22/1ew

5.20 - Yes it's a 2year old non-handicap (not by speciality), but So Lovely and Avalon Queen set the standard, but I think there's a space for a big ew. Only 3 others have race course experience. 8/10 winners all ran 1 race before winning this. Starspangledbanner 2year olds are 29% here at Goodwood. Johnston's have always loved this meeting and throwing her straight into a decent maiden at the guneas meeting must mean they thought something of her (came back lame), so why not play a huge long shot of 50/1 with Donna Beauty. Note I wouldn't do this if wasn't 14 odd points up.

Donna Beauty 50/1ew

5.55 - Might post one tomorrow.

I put a treble on Flann Sunna, Enceladus an Friendly Soul 25/1

Bets 29/07/2026

18 points up for Day 1.

Naff day for big handicaps. Last two races are big fields but they are class 3 and class 4 races. i.e. Naff.

1.50 - 9 runners and can make a case for a few of them. You'd expect the KG form to shine through but Hatteen also looks ahead of mark. No bet.

2.25 - No betting opinions as Wild Blossom is fave and best on numbers. No bet

3.00 - Flora of Berumda is top on numbers, but Zanthos is decent. Can make all today. Ignoring last two runs due to draw.

Zanthos 5/1ew

3.35 - Another non handicap but I had Pershaada marked down post Ascot and think has a fave's chance and at 4s happy to play.

Pershaada 4/1

4.10 - No betting opinions. No bet

5.00 - I don't follow formlines for C3 and below so it's much harder for me to assess a field like this. Under The Twilight is best on numbers and nearly won at Glorious Goodwood last year. Worthy fave on paper, but Sir Garfield beat Amazing Journey two races back and Lipsink was close enough to Twilight Calls lto and they bring the best formlines. Born Slippy is dangerously handicapped but first run back and I think better with cut in ground.

Sir Garfield can front run from a good draw and go close and Under the Twilight is best on numbers

Under the Twilight 7/1ew

Sir Garfield 12/1ew

5.40 - You could back many of these with good rationale, and there will be so many plot jobs that you can't see on paper. Bobby Bennu drops in class and should be winning a race like this. Problem I have is this race 90% of the time goes to an exposed horse dropped to a winning mark. Yesterday in haste I did put an ew double with Bobby Bennu and Pershada, but I have to follow trends and numbers Rhoscolyn is best on numbers by a long way, even on GF, but surely needs softer ground? DivineLibra second best on numbers. The Fingal Raven is on my tracker and I think is going to win soon, but not sure in right form atm. The Liffy went from 98 to 86 and now won 4 of last 5 races and clearly a stinky job from a good draw. Goldmoyne brings the best c3 form here and with prominent racing style can go close. Pelitory ties in with this formline but will stick with Gold due to draw.

Divine Libra 20/1ew. 

Goldmoyne 9/1ew

Bets 28/07/2026

Health Warning before start posting my thoughts for this week. Goodwood has been tough for me over the years. I went through my last 14 years of Glorious Goodwood betting and only made profit in 8 of the years. Worst meeting was -28 which isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things. Last year I did not a winner until Day 4 when had a 20/1 and 12/1 winner but I remember those first 3 days. Painful. I found a betting slip from 2012 to remind me it's possible to smash it though :) Either way do not get carried away with life changing accas and don't chase this meeting.

1.50 - This tends to go to an improving 4 year old who has won over at least 1m2f. I think this is quite tough to be confident on the winner as most of the top 6 in the market have a serious chance.

Yabher meets all the trends. Won by 6l over CD. Won't get an easy lead again but looked decent when hit go and interestingly is 0/4 with left hand tracks so can maybe forgive York. 

Midak was 9/1 for the Derby and is ahead of mark. If breaks cleanly and doesn't run too free, can go close. 

Diego has been well backed. Entered in a G3. Form is good and Lyons is 1/1 here.

Al Ali I backed in Dubai believing was well handicapped and bolted up lto very easily. Something has clicked.

Quai De Bethhune won well at Ascot but not sure what's happened since. Has the talent to win though.

Twisting Physics is very interesting on trends and very unexposed for a 5 year old with a very good 5lb claim, but Cole has no record at Goodwood, so have to pass this one.

Diego is no price now, but must be a lot of confidence behind it. Going with Yabher for C&D form and Al Ali for potential I saw in Meydan that now might be unlocked. This was also have one high and one low draw.

Yabher 8/1ew

Al Ali 8/1ew

3.35 - Trawlerman now has the fitness and 1lb pull, which is the margin I need to give him the vote to win

Trawlerman 2/1

4.10 - Race has changed format so trends in the bin. Keeping it simple. Twinlight Calls and Seven Questions are the best on numbers. Twinlight cruised to win lto and Seven Q's was given a magic ride by Spencer over C&D in May but had lbs in hand. Taterstalls was not next best on numbers but his C&D form is very good, just a question of whether low enough mark to win. Rappers Delight frustrated me couple times in Meydan but is no doubt going to win soon but Twinlight had the full measure of him lto. Jasour is well handicapped on graded form and could easily win this if turns up. Toca Madera is impossible not to back though given draw, front running style and previous glorious goodwood form and again helps cover low and high draw now.

Twinlight Calls 8/1ew

Seven Questions 16/1ew

Toca Madera 16/1ew

5.20 - 3year olds have farmed this race and Annastarzy looks a solid improver and a C&D winner. Proposal was interesting but has to overcome a difficult draw. Liked Crazee Icon and Wid also but stick with one given price.

Annastrzy 4/1

5.55 - Beaujolais Nouveau is a mental price at 40s when compared to Bintaryana. Can make all from Draw 1 and get a very soft lead as not many front runners drawn low. Machadadrop looks a likley big improver and main danger.

Machadrop 9/2

Beaujolais Nouveau 40/1ew. (For transparency I've backed at 50's on exchanges and laid out in running at 10s to get my 40s. I placed a Top 5 bet separately. If front runs and gets a soft lead odds should drop to below 10s on the exchanges 1 - 2 furlongs out).

Bets 27/07/2026

 One flat bet at Galway worth playing.

7.50 - Nod of Approval 12/1ew is good value to turn tables on the fave Darius Dark given is effectively 1 stone better off. They should be a similar price. Came from the back last time out and had to check left so many times, but once finally got clear powered home. If Nod of Approval is ridden closer to the pace can win this. It's a race Harrington has won 3 times in the last 5 years.

Bets 25/07/2026

None of these races are classed as 'festivals' so you know the score. There's a fair bit of alignment with HQ today though.

Ascot 1.10 - Never Enough 6/4 should be enough

Ascot 2.20 - Disappointing if Touleen 4/5 can't win this given what has shown

Ascot 2.55 - Mentioned had few on the radar for today. Touleen was the first and the other was Amazing Journey. In my great wisdom, when was 50/1, decided I'd wait for the draw. On Thursday was 12/1 and panicked and backed it. It's now 8/1, but I'm not convinced it's got the best draw.

However, it's not a max field so Saffie will have more than enough time to line this highly progressive 3year old up to win on on part of track needs to. Blitzed the field last time out with very strong turn of foot, race time and is technically 5lb ahead of mark on paper, but visually a lot more.

Shame the price has gone, but I'd not back anything else ahead of it and hopefully 50s into 8s is a positive sign the stable fancy it.

Amazing Journey 8/1ew

Ascot 15.35 - Calandagan 13/8 best horse on numbers and worth backing Never Enough, Touleen, Calandagan Treble 10/1+)

Ascot 4.45 - Hickory is best on numbers and back to form lto. Could be an Osbourne double...

Hickory 11/1ew

Ascot 5.20 - Rythmn N Hooves is best on numbers and I deleted Kylian from my tracker, but is second best on numbers. Given Cowell likes to target the race and his horses are #1 and #2 on numbers have to back them both

Rythmn N Hooves 15/2ew

Kylian 11/1 ew

York 2.00 - Commache Falls is best on numbers and Rousing Encore is going to win a race soon enough and the price today is worth finding out if it's today

Commache Falls 25/1ew

Rousing Encore 20/1ew

Bets 24/07/2026

 Ascot 2.20 - Cut and Sew 14/1ew. Classic Walker 2nd time out 2year old profile?

Ascot 4.05 - Al Azd the one to beat for sure, but Theory of Tides could be the one to give most to think about stepping up in trip. Theory of Tides 9/1ew

Ascot 5.12 - Kilavia 9/2ew should be winning a race like this or I'd give up on it

York 5.32 - Orne 11/1ew nearly setup Lir Speciale perfectly for us lto. Today can make all low side and maybe, just maybe hold on, in a poorish race.

York 6.05 - Vaguely Royal 8/1ew back in good form.

York 7.15 - Fiscal Policy 33/1ew if assume last run was poor due to draw looks a decent ew price

York 8.25 - Go Vince Go 3/1 race to lose

Bets 11/07/2026

Putting up 3 favourites in non-handicaps. All losing. Not cool. I need to stick to handicaps! Pelitory 28/1 was the 9th agonising double figure price 2nd this flat season. Could have made the day, but instead July Cup is now -14.5 and John Smith is +0.5.

A lot of racing today.

John Smith Festival Day 2

York 2.02 - Furturra 6/1ew best on numbers

York 2.39 - Checkandchallenge 9/1ew has come down the weights now and is best on numbers. Cannot afford to miss the break though. Lost King 6/1ew was next best.

York 3.12 - King Charles III surely the formline to follow for this? Out of those at the prices, given nearly won this race last year opting for Miss Attitude 12/1ew

York 3.45 - Danger Bay 7/1ew meets the trends I need, but tough race.

York 4.20 - Terrorise 12/1ew back to a mark can win off. Money for it suggesting is back in good form. Will need to be.

York 5.30 - Juan Les Pins 12/1ew is best on numbers but bit of a joker, so Sixtygeesbaby 20/1ew worth playing at the prices.

July Cup Day 3

2.52 Newmarket - Wechaad 4/1 can reverse placings with Moonfall

3.25 Newmarket - Two Tribes 12/1ew ran well enough from a bad draw a RA to suggest back in good form and ready to resume progress

4.35 - Satano Reve 10/3 best on numbers, with age being only stat concern but looks in decent nick

5.10 - Righthere Rightnow 6/1ew best on numbers, Secret History 12/1ew most unexposed

Non Festival Bets

1.55 Ascot - Schrodengers Cat 12/1ew

I think my strongest 3, one from each track, going into an ew trxie are:

1.55 Ascot - Schrodengers Cat 12/1ew

York 4.20 - Terrorise 12/1ew

3.25 Newmarket - Two Tribes 12/1ew

Bets 10/07/2026

 Calico Blue in second to Jazl was quite frustrating. I don't think was a draw bias. The better horse won. Oxagon did everything was supposed to until started wandering around and the final pair no good, but not to give up on. The joker sweated up badly and the fave was super restless at the start but means start the July Cup -6.5.

July Cup Festival

Newmarket 1.50 - Princling 5/2 should be hard to beat given last race. Backed Evanesco lto so hope doesn't get allowed an east lead.

Newmarket 2.25 - Libertango 4/5 super impressive lto

Newmarket 3.00 - I think Pole Star 14/1ew can reverse placings with Globlet of Fire at twice the price. Proven C&D runner behind Align the Stars.

Newmarket 3.35 - With the 3year old allowance Precise 4/5 should win

John Smith Festival

York 2.10 - If Pelitory 28/1ew bounces back to form is very well handicaped over C&D

York 5.05 - Brazen Bolt 10/1ew, Muker 12/1ew

Non Festival Bet

3.10 Ascot - Arbaawy 18/1ew and Shaman Champion 18/1ew are too big based on marks and performances here

Bets 09/07/2026

Newmarket 

1.50 - Del Maro is the best horse on form here, but 5 runner race and Hannon is 3/4 winners in this race, so you can't wrtie off Alderman, who they've not given up on. No bet.

2.25 - Adday Scarlett is clear on proven numbers, but 3 runner race with another Appelby hotpot. No bet

3.00 - Knocked this down to a longlist of 5, which is unhelpful. Thunder Call is the likely winner, and not totally convinced Red Spells Danger can reverse the form, but it's possible. However I have to believe, as I always do, until proven otherwise the RA handicaps are the strongest formlines. Calico Blue finished the best of those draw wrong side in the Holyroodhouse, runs prominetly and winner over 6f already.

Calico Blue 7/1ew

3.35 - Another 4 runner race. No bet

4.10 - No thoughts

4.45 - Oxagon, blinkers on, head down, make all and see if can win. It's second best on numbers behind Morris Dancer so value at the prices. 

Oxagon 9/1ew

5.20 - Shipbourne looks well handicapped and be hard to beat. Backed The Joker couple races back as the form with Glacius and Del Maro cannot be ignored. I think has started to put it together, and can land the forecast with Shipbourne

Shipbourne 3/1

The Joker 10/1ew

Shipbourne / The Joker Rfc 25/1 and 30/1

Bets 05/07/2026

One and Gone a game winner. Underdog very unlucky from my perspective and one for nto. Glacius ran well into 3rd, but not good enough to win that race.

1.50 - Sandown - Asfoora is best on numbers but had a good draw lto and wasn't convincing? Rumstar 3/1 looked like he was going to take off in this race last year and if in similar form be hard to beat. Words of Truth will make it a good race.

2.25 Sandown - Hard Endeavor 14/1ew is better value than Beagle Bay. I backed River King at 12/1 as ran well from draw at RA, but pricewise has killed the price and value is gone at 6s. 

3.00 Sandown - Secret of Life 5/1ew. Entered in the Falmouth and other group races. Big horse. No way Beckett runs in this if doesn't think a decent chance stepping up from a c4.

3.35 Sandown - A Boy Named Suzy 9/1ew is the value bet. 400m out lto was so far behind Constitution River, stuck behind many horses. Finished much closer. Reckon will drift given the focus on the other big names. The risk might be the fast ground.

4.47 Sandown - Sassicaia 13/2ew too keen lto, but hugely unexposed.

5.22 Sandown - Flying Frontier 6/1ew

Bets 03/07/2026

Sandown Eclipse Festival - Day 1

1.50 Sandown - Don't want to be getting caught up in a 5 runner race, but Comical Point sets the standard. Probably the best play for a win, but you know me, I'd rather let One and Gone 15/2ew try to make all Contact Point to nab it late. The rfc 14/1 and 20/1 on b365

2.25 Sandown - Underdog 9/1ew. C&D run was good. Assuming Ascot came too soon and all the pace was drawn low in that race so can draw a line through.

3.35 Sandown - Sallaal should win, but willing to give an improving 3year old with 10lb allowance a chance. Glacius 10/1ew. 

Bets 27/06/2026

1.40 Newcastle - Has usually got to a 4 year old and Rajeko for sure is very interesting. Room Service has a G2 entry but both are at end of betting and only info could tell you about chances. I'm willing to take on the 4year old and look Stupido here and back the two who are best on handicap numbers for me.

Korker 25/1ew

Witch Hunter 28/1ew

2.10 Newcastle - Diligent Harry pipped Annaf on the line last year breaking a 6,000/1 treble. Still hurts. Best on numbers today and will try to make all again.

Diligent Harry 9/2 (Note that personally put a lay in running at 1.2 in case gets nabbed on line)

2.40 Newcastle - Haveyoumissedme's mark has dropped to 8lb lower than when ran in this couple years back. In much better form now and can maybe take advantage of this mark. Believeitandyoucan might be hard to beat.

Haveyoumissedme 18/1ew (6p)

3.15 Newcastle - Spirit Mixer a lovely 25 winner last year but this year found it tougher.

Team Player 11/1ew

Prydwen 16/1ew

Blazeon Five 25/1ew (0.5pt ew only)

3.45 Newcastle - Annaf is best on numbers but this is super tricky. Hope Cool Hoof Luke sets a decent pace for the race. I can pick 6 horses who have a solid case for this race, but they've got Annaf's mark down now to be competitive in handicaps and obviously ran super well at this festival last year. Rappers Delight bust a 6,000/1 5 fold at Meydan, and I know is well handicapped, so better not be the day pops up! Fahrenheit Seven is highly progressive on AW. Decent ew price

Annaf 14/1ew

Fahrenheit Seven 20/1ew

York 1.20 Washington Royal 8/1ew

York 2.25 - Fortification 7/2

York 4.15 - Millions Gold 14/1ew

2.02 Newcastle - Popty Ping 15/2ew

3.12 Newcastle - Cloth of Gold 15/2ew

3.42 Newcastle - Dosman 11/2ew

Bets 20/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 5

Rossa Ryan on Coppull clearly saw the major speed was up the centre before deciding to go stands side and win that race. Ignored Libertango as was drawn 3 and ignored Organised as has 'poor draw'. Overthinking the draw. Really need to find where the pace is likely to be.

9/2, 11/2 and 16/1 placed with the place acca 4 out of 5, so another -6 day, Down to 39.

2.30 - Early foal from Golden Pal. Just hope they've not watered the low numbers today ;)

Ez Tina 9/1ew

3.05 - Best Secret is in good form, improving, strong course form

Best Secret 8/1ew

3.40 - Satano Reve is the fatest in the field, but Regional comes out on top of my numbers

Santano Reve 7/2

Regional 40/1ew

4.20 - Catullus is best on numbers and not overly worried about the Appelby RA form

Catullus 8/1ew

5.00 - Ten Pounds should go close and Two Tribes if back to form is best on numbers, but trends are also quite strong for Sondad and Far Above Dream

Ten Pounds 10/1ew

Sondad 22/1 ew

Far Above Dream 16/1ew

5.35 - Evanesco should be a similar price to Lost Boys and Sahara King on formlines

Evanesco 10/1ew

6.10 - A Piece of Heaven 6/1ew

Might put up a placed acca tomorrow. If everything fails to place will end up with 19 points for the festival. Hopefully end week with couple winners and couple places.

Bets 19/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 4

Those GoingStick readings did not reflect reality. Annoying. Thought Mountain Cat looked a tad unlucky not to place, if not maybe more, but in the end only 3 places yesterday (28/1, 10/1, 11/1) so ended up -6, which brings Ascot to +45 after Day 3.

2.30 Albany - Winning last time out is important.  Will assume high stalls matter, and if Light of Dawn had not run only 10 days ago I'd likely pick this. Next on the draw with a win is Bated Benevolence.

Bated Benevolence 33/1ew

3.05 Commonwealth - Strong course form and worth playing at the prices

Coppull 12/1ew

3.40 DOE - Hopewell Rock brings the best form to the table, but Warrant Hold looks highly progressive and main danger

Hopewell Rock 9/2ew

4.20 Coronation - Precise should win but one for an acca

5.00 Sandringham - Quiet Mutiny as per earlier, formline with Precise. Glyfada looks quick

Quiet Mutiny 14/1ew

Glyfada 11/2ew

5.35 - No bet

6.10 Sandringham - Tricky. Want Bacio to ping an make all and Starmade to get the perfect tow 

Starmade 16/1ew

Bets 18/06/2025 - Royal Ascot Day 3

Couple of decent places, couple decent wins, a decent 38/1 treble and a decent hangover.

According to the GoingStick there is pretty much no draw bias today. Wanted to narrow down the races to one pick, but not got time today. Gone for a a fair few double digit ews. Go easy :)

2.30 Chesham - No need to take on the fave here.

Aix La Chapelle 11/4

3.05 King George - Dial Me In looks potentially well handicapped and worth chancing at the prices.

Dial Me In 25/1ew

3.40 Ribblesdale - Brilliant Star could make all and can't really ignore the fact AOB won this race last three years and only has one dart for today

Brilliant Star 28/1ew

Composing 9/1ew

4.15 Gold Cup - Scandinavia should win this assuming stays, but at the prices chancing Sweet William and las years Vase winner Carmers

Sweet William 11/1ew

Carmers 22/1ew

4.50 Brittania - Not had enough time to deep dive the race, but Tales of Wisdom look well handicapped on collateral form, as does Flushing Meadows. Noelan Star interesting.

Tales of Wisdom 16/1ew

Flushing Meadows 20/1ew

Nolean Star 40/1ew

5.35 Hampton Court - Mountain Cat 10/1ew

6.10 Buckingham Palace - Doesn't appear to be much pace drawn low, which is sad as fancied couple drawn there. Elarak can set the pace and make jut make all and Cosi Bello should get a good tow from it.

Elarak 10/1ew

Cos Bello 8/1ew

Bets 17/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 2

+8 for Day 1, but a very close 25/1 2nd could have made the week. 18/1 3rd made it to worse as had the forecast :)

Only putting something up in every race as will be track side. Don't up your stakes. Don't forecast/tricast every race. Don't have more accas than singles, etc, etc. Bet smart.

GoingStick: Stands side: 8.9, Centre: 8.7, Farside: 8.5. Round: 7.6. Soil Moisture: 40% readings taken on Wednesday at 8.30am. = High Numbers as long as is pace on sprints

2.30 Queen Mary - I just picked a couple of the fastest horse on paper, Fast Track is the value bet at 40s. Price makes no sense given form with Senorita

More Champagne 11/1ew

Alta Regina 17/2ew

3.05 Queens Vase - Don't like the race. Port of Spain bring LGC form, Limestone looks decent but will he handle the fast going?

Limestone 7/2

3.40 Duke of Cambridge - Sadly the fav is top on numbers all round,  no big ew plays. Friendly Soul who is second in the betting second on numbers too!

Bolt Blue 3/1

4.20 Prince of Wales - Love watching these races, but betting not so much. 

Almaqam 7/1ew speccy play given current form

 I play a Limestone, Bolt Blue, Ombudsman 38/1 treble

5.00 Royal Hunt Cup - Went through usual checks and ended up with the top3 in the market, which is not great. Indalo Fifth Column and Jagged Edge  Linwood was next but weight carrying doesn't fit trends. I can't see any pace from stall 18+ which might help negate the high stall draw bias.

Jagged Edge 12/1ew

Fifth Column 9/1ew

5.35 - Not seen a handicap like this before where 15 horses are so tight on numbers. On a shortlist on 7, but really it's 15. Crazy. American Gal, Rhapsody, Gaga Girl and Perfect Part are the 4 that I can't decide between if really apply pressure on numbers. 

Rhapsody 18/1ew

Perfect Part 28/1ew

6.10 Windsor - No clue. Controlla looks to be fatsest, Control meets some trends I like

Controlla 4/1ew

Rulers Control 16/1ew

Bets 16/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 1

Not the best of days for me for betting purposes with only two long distance handicaps which are not a fun as 1m and below handicaps.

2.30 - Queen Anne - Notable Speech is best on numbers, but given poor runs at Ascot, at the price am okay to look elsewhere. That said I can pick holes in most of them and I chucked some coins on Ciceros Gift 50's who is a G1 C&D winner and First Conquest 50s who is arguably a better form over 1m, but I don't like anything enough at any price to put up a bet

No bet

3.05 Coventry Stakes - Great Barrier Reef is top on numbers for me and whilst still looking very green. Any of these can step up an improve significantly and that's the risk you take with 2year olds. Doesn't look like a huge drawn bias anywhere atm, and low numbers appear to have a lot of pace which will help GBR. 

Great Barrier Reef 7/1ew

3.40 King Charles - I have Jackaro 40/1 AP for this, but feel the ground is going to be too quick. I think the Temple Stakes form line is one to follow. Not 100% certain Overpass is as good over 5, but between him and Jackaro they'll set a good pace for the high numbers, so American Affair is the one I want to be on as looks better than last year coming into this. After back Night Raider a few times last year to no avail obviously come good this year and also looks very good. Frost at Dawn and Cover Up and big value ew prices, but not sure goo enough to win

American Affair 8/1ew

Night Raider 7/1ew

4.20 St. James - No value for me

No bet.

5.00 - Reaching High and Putyourhandtogether are rightly at the top of the market, but at the prices and at the risk of traffic not for me. I find it harder to solve this staying handicaps but two that are much bigger prices and also potentially well handicapped if they stay are Tim Toe and Defiantly Mega risky

Tim Toe 18/1ew

Defiantly 25/1ew

5.35 Wolferton - The form of thePrix du Prince d'Orange behind Daryz and Croix Du Nord is fire so playing Nahraan

Nahraan 6/1ew

Bets 13/06/2026

Lir, oh Lir. Running again on Saturday.....

Only looked at a few races as keeping fresh ready for Ascot.

York 3.35 - Fortification was a decent 40/1 winner for me lto, and I think has a decent chance again today back with 3year olds. The negative on the trends is not won over 6f but I don't think will have an issue getting it. Fast horse. It's not the easiest of races. I was also looking at Super Soldier, at 100's on the machine. Interesting one. Thunder Call obviously has talent and likely worthy fave, but does he have a experience yet?

Fortification 9/1ew

York 4.50 - If Point of Contact can't win a race like this, not sure what will suit it. His to lose.

Point of Contact 5/2

York 5.25 - Give James Sullivan a horse sat nav so that Rousing Encore doesn't find the backend of a horse, and this horse wins. Given is hold up, draw doesn't matter. All upto the jockey, who I'm not that convinced about, but has won on this horse before.

Rousing Encore 10/1ew

York 1.50 - Interesting handicap this. Is a C4 apprentice race and normally I'd leave, but, there's no pace here, so Orne has then chance to make all, but not sure is quite good enough to hold on and can make the pace for Lir Speciale who is taking a big step down in class and in good form

Lir Speciale 10/1ew
