    I've heard presenters saying some pretty weird things but (Excuse me I don't know his name) this guy takes the biscuit.

    Atteq who won the race has been on the drift today. How much his comments have affected the price I don't know but to me he should be a 4/7 shot.

    I've backed him in the hope his comments were unfounded and the horse pisses up again

    3.40 - Lingfield - Vimy Ridge. 2.5 pts win. Available at 4/1.
    Nine runners for this five furlong handicap and it isn't easy to dismiss any of the runners too readily. There looks likely to be a strong pace and that could set the race up for Vimy Ridge if he can find the gaps at the right time. Drawn on the inside in stall one, he should get a good tow into the race from those drawn in two, four, five and six and his stamina for six furlongs could be a valuable asset in the latter stages if he can keep tabs on the trailblazers. It's been thirty starts since he last won in July 2015 and three wins from 49 starts isn't a compelling argument for win purposes but he rarely runs a bad race. The assessor has dropped him another two pounds and it enables him to take on opposition of a slightly easier standard than he normally does and that could be enough for him to get his head back in front.

    4.10 - Lingfield - Handytalk. 3 pts win. Available at 7/2.
    Several of this eight runner field come into the race on the back of good efforts and some look capable of more. Handytalk only has a win on his debut in a Windsor Maiden to his name but he has produced some fair efforts in twelve races since and he is beginning to look well handicapped. He was rated as high as 93 as a Juvenile but a fruitless three year old campaign, in which he performed well in five of his six starts, saw him start this season on a mark of 76. Making his reappearance at Leicester over seven furlongs he did well to finish sixth of eighteen, beaten four lengths, after being a bit keen in the early stages. That run should have taken the 'fizz' out of him and he is likely to be seen in a better light this afternoon. This is just his third start over a mile and his first experience of polytrack but he is bred for the trip on his Dam's side and there's no reason to suspect he won't handle an artificial surface.

    4.50 - Chepstow - Kashgar. 1.5 pts win. Available at 6/1.

    4.55 - Fontwell - Tricky Issue. 1 pt e/w. Available at 14/1.

    I agree Tanlic. 4lb well in, surely it goes in again today. Race doesn't look strong either.

    Hoping he is talking utter nonsense. Also doubling up with Election day the race after and Arab Moon in the last at Lingfield. De Sousa could be riding a treble today at Lingfield.

    I've got some small each way multiples with Martin's selections for the hunters chase night at Cheltenham and thrown in Get Home Now for the Bowen team at Fontwell (only runner today and he tends to do well in the firm ground months), Gold Award for Mick Channon (won maiden (didn't beat much mind) and then beaten well in group 3 company. back from break and huge drop in class. Jockey had a few winners in last 6 weeks.

    This is my Saturday each way patent.

    Newmarket
    1:50 Abareeq (If there's market support for this Mark Johnston runner, we might want to take the hint?!)

    4:10 Mazyoun (nicely handicapped)

    Goodwood
    2:40 The Warrior (Aidan O Brien cast-off, now with Amanda Perratt, I reckon this will come right back into form tomorrow).

    Good luck

    I thought that was the winner the way he picked up. Beaten by Gary Moore's, Gossiping.

    Franny seemed to leave it very late, Marb. Haven't seen a replay but perhaps he didn't have the best of runs.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    A bit unlucky yes, but bumped into Gossiping who looked like its life depended on sticking its neck out today, and depriving me of a decent priced winner. The Warrior should reverse that form if they meet again and now looks a horse to follow.

    Silver Step (2:20 Newmarket) still looks on a progressive curve, had a couple of warm up races, or 'blow outs' at Meydan. This can pick a few opponents off towards the business end of tomorrows race, and hopefully at least get a place. I've just got a hunch they've brought her over to run well. We'll see.

    The Warrior was very eye catching right enough.

    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 the minimum trip than the favourite does.

    Not looked at the top of the market yet and haven't backed anything either, but two lively looking outsiders are Every Chance from Jamie Osborne's yard and Sir Chauvelin. I reckon the former will prove his mark to be too low this season.

    Fujin (7.10) ran a a blinder lto against horses he should have had no chance with. Didn't appear a fluke either, as he set his own pace in a race run in course record time and made the 105 rated Raucous pull out all the stops in the closing stages. His capable apprentice is able to claim 5lb here he couldn't claim then, and he's shown in the past he can judge the pace around here in 2 previous c/d victories.
    Handicappers left him alone for his last run and, off 85, he really ought to have these for breakfast.
    7/2 best, currently.

    4.30 - Ayr - Zoravan. 2 pts win. Available at 11/2.
    Kharbetation won his only previous start, a Maiden at Thirsk, easily and it's difficult to gauge how good he could be. The second from that race has since won a Maiden and been placed off a mark of 83 but the rest haven't done much for the form. Kharbetation could be up to this task but an absence of 282 days and an opening mark of 93 ask stern questions and he looks worth opposing on balance. Preference is for Zorovan, who has won two of his six starts since moving to his current yard and being gelded. Even though he was fit from the A/W, it was a very good effort to lead all the way and hold off 20 opponents in a seven furlong handicap at Doncaster last month. Up five pounds, he was beaten nine lengths into seventh of the nine runners at Haydock last time out but he pulled way too hard that fay and he could be seen to much better effect here if he settles better. The long straight here should suit and he drops back in class from a one pound lower mark. He will get strong handling from the saddle and his in-form yard have a profitable 12% strike rate here in recent seasons.


    8.20 - Windsor - Spinners Ball. 2 pts win. Available at 11/2.


    8.40 - Chelmsford - Kafoo. 2 pts win. Available at 6/1.

    He's been declared. Into a general 20/1 now. He was 40s earlier in the week with one firm. I'm sticking with this horse now.
