    Declared for York 5:25 Saturday...should be no excuses.
    I really hope this one sparks a revival for me!

    But....Twin Appeal is all the rage now into fav....a horse that's either completely lost the plot or being readied for a race like this. I'm on Explain, but after the last two weeks, it's all hope, no confidence!

    Didn't have time to post, but amongst others I did back Invincable Army at 4s for the Sandy Lane. It won imo - this is the second time I've been raped by the cunts at that track after Le Rocher in the fog.

    Soliloquy in the Irish 1000. Price diff between herself and the fav is daft. Small stakes though as form seems to mean **** all at the Curragh.

    Taareef in the d'Ispahan. Obviously needed it first time out and again the price diff between him and the fav is daft.

    Fom his plum draw, Frankie decided to drop him out the back, then circumnavigate the whole field.
    Strong contender for worst ride of the season,imo.

    It gets worse.......the Tattersall Gold Cup..what a farce giving a classy horse 15 lengths or more of a start......

    tbh I backed Moore but got out at half way as it was obvious what was coming.
    Only one more bet for me today Fav Ringa Ding Ding

    Class horse that really should have been walking the last furlong judged on his pedigree. Cliffs of Moher just aint as good as they think he is. And neither are their 3yo fillies.

    Just watched it back, Euro, and it's a case of appearance being deceptive, imo.
    c24 secs for the last 2f suggest it wasn't a strong pace early, and neither RM or Atzeni covered themselves in glory.

    Fair enough. I did look at LB for the race but just couldn't have him staying.

    Today I have Looks a Million who ran really well at Chester the other week running from my tracker. Some nice types against her from powerful stables but she's 16s and worth a small each way (4.50 Windsor)

    Some interesting types stepping up in handicap company and distance after having three maiden runs at Lingfield tomorrow. 1:40 Fleeting Steps (Mark Prescott trained, 10/1) and the well bred, Zilara in the 5:10, who is a half sister to Moonrise Landing. I will role the dice on two singles and an each way double.

    Well Zilara ran alright at a price. Golden Iris (Nott 3:20) has done enough in three runs to date to make a mark of 77 look exploitable.

    Juanito Chico (5.50 Eps) is ideally suited by a sharp 7f (career record 211), will relish the ground, and has a plum draw (most of the pace low) for a horse that needs delivering late in proceedings.
    11/2 generally.

    GL, I like this one too. Seem to remember that he won at this meeting last year in a really fast time

    Saxon Warrior looks cut & dried for the Derby, though there's little mileage in his price. I'll take him to do the same to Roaring Lion he has the last twice, which pays 7/1 currently on B365.
    Might also chance my arm on Young Rascal for the tricast, too. (36/1 at the mo).
    Cracking race, as always.

    I'm having the worst start to a flat season ever so I'd steer clear of these friggers.

    Anna Nerium 2.50 Epsom. Impressed in the Free Handicap and being by Dubawi out of an Old Vic mare it's no surprise she didn't feature much in the 1000 on fast ground. Conditions better for her today.

    Proschema 3.40 Doncaster. Don't normally put 2yos in my tracker but this one went straight in after his second to a nice Hamdan horse back end of last year. Unfortunately he started this year in better races but ran really well at Haydock before finding Chester not to his liking in the Vase. 13/2 is too big and an OR of 100 isn't bad at all.

    In the Derby I like Dee Ex Bee and have him win and place at nice odds. AP bet on The Pentagon which I've pretty much wrote off. I also have Saxon Warrior in doubles with Invincible Army (cover for a nice possie on Sioux Nation) and Konchek (Norfolk)
