    Queen of Paris 3.30L - outsider LTO but was well in touch with the finishers and rallying at the end, caught my eye - winner monday (cosmic landscape @ 25/1) from same race behind this one. A miserly 4/1 today unfortunately probably due to that 25/1 winner

    Rubbish yesterday, guess the market told it's own story. Onward and upward.

    K Club (3.00L) showed an impressive turn of foot to win a C/D contest cosily, 2 ago. Finished behind today's fav subsequently at Kempton (which is probably why the selection's the price she is) but that was a strongly run contest over a stiffer track, and she just didn't last home.
    Plenty of pace promised today; but this is Lingfield and she has the best clocker in the business on her back.
    The current 10/1 (Lads) is an incredible price, let's hope the market's wrong about this one.

    I am liking the look of the Irish entry for Ascot's Bet 365 Chase this Saturday, called Call It Magic. We'll see if he gets in the final declarations. I reckon he has some excellent form, which includes the fourth place at Aintree last time. He could run another big race from this mark. His best form has come on soft on heavy though. I wonder if they'll still declare him if it looks like good-soft...

    Call It Magic not declared to run. Should be interesting to see if Mister Whitaker can defy top weight. Happy Diva ran a great race last time against Aso. I backed Getontheyager the last day when he dissapointed, maybe he could run better. I will probably be watching with interest but not having a bet.

    My tracker horse Forest Bihan, (the one I lost my conkers on last time!), is entered at Doncaster in Friday. He's a CD winner. I will probably stick him in a Trixie on Friday.

    Straight Right (5.15N) has any amount of boot, as he showed in his C/D win last Feb. Circumstances conspired gainst him in his 2 latest runs, though he still did enough to demonstrate it's still there.
    Plenty of pace in today's race, which should allow clear passage in the closing stages, and looks well worth a bet at the general 5/2.

    Robert Havlin has some good chances at Lingfield and Kempton tomorrow. Most of his rides are obviously for John Gosden. It could be a red letter day for him. He will surely be dissapointed if he can't bag two or three winners from these chances. I'll have a go on a five or six horse yankee, hoping for the best.

    Only one winner thus far, with two to run. Not looking too good. Shite.

    Declared.

    A competitive little seven runner affair though. We'll see if the four pound pull at the weights Forest Bihan has with Cracking Find can help him in his attempt to beat that opponent.
    Several horses with good chances in there, so I fancy we could get 10's or bigger on Forest Bihan by off time, in which case I'll probably have a sporting bet on.

    This could well turn out to be a decent Grand Annual trial.

    165

    This race has been relegated from the Saturday card, possibly to beef up today’s card. It’s always a good race, usually run on decent enough ground at a good pace and this renewal looks a little cracker with Ozzie, Cracking Find and Beau Bay all potential front-runners likely to be stalked by Forest Bihan who is handicapped to win on his best form. I suspect Modus, though, might be prepping for something like the Grand Annual.

    Cracking Find and Ozzie The Oscar – if your memory stretches back far enough this is the one I put up for the County at 50s or so a couple of years back – are the ones with the steepest curves but I suspect they’ll take each other on and this could set it up for Forest Bihan. It’s probably a race best watched but I’ve punted Forest Bihan (7/2).

    Interesting. I wasn't expecting Forest Bihan to be favourite, but I won't let that put me off backing him.

    7/2 is a decent price if he wins.

    I hope he wins for us.

    I didn't see the race and only heard bits of the commentary. It sounded like Forest Bihan refused to go past CF rather than the winner holding him at bay.

    They pulled 8 lengths clear of Modus and the rest.

    At least Forest Bihan is showing a bit of consistency now, running two very good races recently without winning. That is one positive to take out of the race for him. He is probably worthy of one last bet, but not in a small field at shortish odds. I hope to see him in The Grand Annual entries.
