Star In The Making 2.20P was unlucky not to win a similar contest at Leicester:checked and switched when making his run, then finishing with a real rattle.
Didn't last home over 7f at Sandown, then got involved in a pace battle with Hunni at Newmarket and didn't see out the 7f.Dropped in class and back in trip tomorrow, this should prove within her compass.
11/2 b365.

At reasonable prices I like William Bligh at Newbury (1:50) who I reckon can handle the step up in class and the Alan King trained Tritonic (3:00) whose shortened up all week.. however both are competative races so I'll need the run of the green and everything to go right.
My nap for tomorrow is actually Ugo Gregory (Newmarket 3:15) who improved last season after being gelded and looks like he'll be ready to go close to winning off what is now actually his last winning mark (64). He's only a four year old, so plenty of races for him to be a contender for in the future. Let's see if he can do the business tomorrow. He couldn't be any better handicapped to do so for sure.
Good luck all watching or betting tomorrow.

Nice one,Barjon.
For various reasons I expect Alignak 3.00Nb to show significant improvement tomorrow, and rate him a good thing for this contest.
3/1 betfair SB
I’ll probably be joining you with Alignak but there’s a couple in the race to be worried about so will watch the market before finally deciding.
Talking of the market there was no good reason why Annie de Vega should have been backed down to joint favourite at Newbury in July other than that a lot more was expected of her than she delivered. There again tomorrow, 4:45. Around 12/1 atm and if money comes and she enters the steamer ranks it might be worth a tickle.
Two plays for me at Doncaster
2.15-State Occasion @ 10-3
4.00-Ghalyoon @ 7-2
1pt on each

Can some kind soul please point out to me what I'm missing in the 1.50 at Newbury?
For all the world I do not understand why Saint Lawrence is as long as 7/1. It looks like the market leaders are there based on potential and reputation rather than substantive form.
That isn't to say SL will win. Even at 3/1 it's 1/3 that it won't win but there is no way on God's good earth it should be 7/1.

The Hungerford looks pretty weak to me. Dream of Dreams steps up to 7f for the first time in 2 years and despite finishing strongly in the Diamond Jubilee (again) I’m not convinced he’s going to prove as well suited by the extra furlong as the ground softens.
Glorious Journey won this well last year but needs to settle better than he has of late and he carries the penalty this time round so this looks set up for Surf Dancer at a decent 11/2. The son of Lope De Vega will relish the rain and having won a decent listed race against some promising 3 year olds last time out can continue his progress here in what isn’t the strongest of G2s.
Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."

Yes with you on Surf Dancer in my super heinz, Lee. I'd be happy for Breathtaking Look to run well but like I said, she will be there to be shot at trying to do it from the front. Good luck.

Thanks chaps.
I wish I could restrict my betting just to times when I feel this way about them.
Just couldn't see why he was ignored to that extent.

Good one DO
In the Hungerford I respect Surf Dancer but I have to go with Morando on the ground. Yes, he was beaten in the race last year but the wfa is slightly better for the older horses this year and he was set for home way too early twelve months ago.
