Quite like Rich History in the maiden coming up at Lepardstown. Travelled well last time but didn't get home so this drop in trip should suit.

Sutter County at Hamilton later looks more suited to...

Indeed. If Harry Angel ever learns to settle, he's a superstar in the making. There are reasons to be optimistic: Marsha used to race very freely early last season but became more tractable with...

Blue Point receives 4lbs from Harry Angel and has (on my figures) two 121 time ratings to his credit from Doncaster and York last season, both over 6f which is clearly his trip. If he's straight for...

Cunco looks generously priced at 13/2 in today's Classic Trial at Sandown for which his stable-companion, Monarchs Glen, is a warm favourite. His neck second to Coronet in Newmarket's Zetland Stakes...

I could see the argument for taking Dabyah on on price grounds, reet, but I can't see any problem for her with the 7f today. She started with a win over seven in a very good time last July, followed...

Wings Of Eagles went off 106/1, no less, but neither he nor Cunco really showed. I was a bit disappointed, really, but I still think Coronet, who beat them both at Newmarket, is smart.

Cunco looks decent value each-way at 16/1 for the G1 in France this afternoon. His form at distances up to a mile wouldn't be good enough but he improved considerably on that last time out at...

Think I'll have another crack at Flying Pursuit in the sprint handicap at Haydock. Ran well from poor draws at Ayr and Ripon and his stall today looks okay. Double figure odds available in a couple...

The Post comment that Irish Cavalier is now on a "lofty handicap mark" (160) is clearly correct but the way he travelled in last year's Paddy Power off 156 strongly suggests that this rating...

It did turn out to be a bad draw. In the next race, also a sprint handicap, the horse drawn in stall 1 was switched to the far side and made all at 12/1.

Flying Pursuit ran well from a bad draw at Ayr last week and runs at Ripon this afternoon. Problem is that he might be badly drawn again today in 1 of 14 with the stalls on the stands' side which...

Today might be the day to catch Esteaming (4.20 Ayr). I've no idea why he hasn't run so far this season but he goes well fresh, yard's in decent form, trip and ground suit and he's run well off...

Poyle Vinnie interests me in the 3.35 at Chester today. He travelled really well for a long way in the Wokingham and he's been dropped a couple of pounds since. He's drawn five today but that's...

I quite like the look of Misterioso in that race. His handicap mark has dropped a long way from the 99 he was once rated but he ran well at Newmarket last time - up 2lbs for it, though - and might...

I'm keen on one dropping down in trip. Navajo War Dance goes on soft and the handicapper has very generously dropped him 4lbs after his flop at Royal Ascot last time out over 12f when the horse...

Harbour Lighning really caught the eye on her debut at Thirsk a fortnight ago. A cheapish yearling, she was totally unfancied at 66/1 but ran with plenty of promise under a quiet ride to finish...

Elronaq each-way in the big sprint handicap at York.

His mark has tumbled lately to 94 and he's now looking very well-handicapped on his very promising early runs around this time last year. He...

Enjoy your day.

I'm going with So Beloved in the 7f race. Just loved the way he travelled last time over C&D. It suggested he might just have taken a further little step forward.

Agree about...

I don't know if that's the case but, whether it is or not, he'd surely ride her if she ran, irrespective of his assessment of her chance.

Well, if Found runs he'd have to ride her. Whether he'd prefer her to Time Test is another matter.

Dettori will be keen to ride if Moore can't.

Dettori rode the horse to his highly impressive Royal Ascot win last year. Held him up in about fifth, as I recall. Time Test settled and found plenty....

By my calculations Southdown Lad is a well-handicapped horse on the strength of the time he recorded when winning a nursery at Newmarket last backend. It's not too hard to excuse his comeback run at...

Sorry. You meant 3lbs higher than last year.

He's only one pound higher.

Thanks, Dave, but not good enough when you've backed it win only. It's like Genzy the other week - I was on him at 65 and 36 on Betfair to some tune but, again, win only.
