    For a horse who’s officially the third highest rated going into the race William Henry is too big at 10/1 in the 3:40. 4 Places available.

    He’s looked to be crying out for 3 Miles whereas Apple’s Jade arguably still has to prove that she’ll appreciate it and has to bounce back from that disappointing run in the Champion. Sam Spinner bombed out in this race last year.

    Flemcara gave weight and a beating to Poker Play and is more than twice the price at level weights today. Losing a shoe in the Pertemps final excuses his finishing position there having led turning in

    Having sworn to follow Jonjo O'Neill jr blind after his Lanzarote Hurdle win ( and not done so ) I have doubled his two rides today first and last race.
    Down to 3 pounds claim unfortunately (for me).
    Cannot leave Knocknanuss out the way front runners have performed all week.
    Had no bet the first few days with fancy after fancy , Cheltenham ante post selections , dark horses etc collecting I fear i have missed the bus .

    Executive Force (7.45K) is in the form of his life this season, and would have shaken better horses than these latest, had he not gone in pursuit of the free -running Swiss Storm in the last 2 furlongs of a strongly run Chelmsford contest. The drop in class shouldn't do any harm, either.
    Has Collide to beat, but he's a horse that's never raced on synthetics and today's surface will likely be faster than both his form and his action suggest he'd prefer (finished down the field in his latest at Newmarket, where - reportedly - the officially 'soft' ground wasn't soft enough for him).
    3/1 generally.

    2.0 Newbury, Album around 3.6 I'm laying this for the win. I missed the shorter price earlier but thats life.
    I'm backing the same horse to be placed in the race around 1.55. I'm sure it will win in time but I think a place at best for today.

    George Of Hearts gets my vote in the 3:15 at Newbury tomorrow. Taking a chance he will have improved after the gelding operation. 22/1

    Drinks Interval led to 3 out in the RSA before getting left behind and was eventually pulled up. No disgrace in that and the soft ground wouldn’t have helped that day. The stable is in better form now and she looks attractively handicapped off 139
    Bigger prices were available yesterday but 8/1 still represents value IMO

    Though he went off at 33/1, there was no fluke about Mohaather's Horris Hill victory over this c/d. In a well run race he travelled well and won as he liked. Should take this on the way to the Guineas. 9/2 generally.
    In the 4.15 @ Thirsk, Three Card Trick has a better chance than his price (7/1 generally) would suggest. He was found out by the 'loose on top' ground at York latest, and joins a long list of fancied horses that have disappointed, after rainfall at the track; for the same reason.

    ps: same combo won the race last year.

    1.25 Ayr, Azzuri around 3.6. This will be a very heavy lay for me. I'll try to catch it a bit lower in running too. But I can't see it winning today.

    1.40 Newbury, Defoe, another lay for me, it's around 2.7 at the minute. I was going to back the second fav but just decided to lay defoe.

    I'll be having a decent few bets today, hopefully get off to a good start.

    Good luck to anyone betting today.

    2pm Windsor, Incentive, laying this for a place 2.28'ish

    2.10 Hexham, Glinger Flame, very short at around 1.46'ish but I'm willing to take the short odds, if it jumps around it should win.

    Good luck to all

    This delayed 3.00 @ Newmarket. The fav brando is around 2.96. A friend of mine is a trainee on course bookie. If you can believe what they say, he tells me it won't be winning today, they are laying the hell out of it. On that basis I've went in with a max lay. I fancied the horse, so this will be interesting.

    Good luck to anyone betting today.

    AW Fillies and Mares Championship 2.30
    I believe Island Of Life has been trained for this race all season, and she's well capable of carrying it off today.
    Since the blinds were applied she's had one unlucky outing at Kempton, followed by 3 straight victories at various courses. Rested afterwards, she returned from a 9 week break and ran a good 2nd (In a qualifier, for a race she'd already qualified for) and looks sure to strip fitter today.
    My personal AW horse of the season, and a rock solid bet at the current 5/1
