    It's highly significant that AOB has his first AW runner in the UK for 16 years in the Winter Derby (Clear Skies) and that Ryan Moore opts to ride her, over either of the decent Stoute chances. Beat relatively little lto, but won easily, in a good time and giving lumps of weight away. Currently 5/2
    Goring (3.50) has shown enough speed to see off these, whatever the pace, and looks solid @ the current 11/4.

    Bit of value as I think he is a nice novice, and I know his top stable think a bit of him.

    Taquin Du Seuil gave Martin Broughton and Co. a lot of pleasure over the years,

    I was impressed by the way his Django Django quickened up and away from Ar Mest the other week.

    Ar Mest hacked up since giving the form a minor boost

    Tough race today but he should go very close and it should be onwards and upwards from there

    Hopefully he will end up as good as Taquin was

    Zephyros runs at Wolverhampton tomorrow (7:15), where surely it must be D-Day, after two excellent placed-efforts at Lingfield.

    One for the Trixie.

    Yeah yours is a well backed favourite to be fair, Zephyros is drifting to a generous price though...maybe a reverse forecast, Geoff?

    Like the look of the outsider of the three in Plumpton's 4:05, Little Windmill @ 11/4

    In the Trixie.

    Have run out of VPN time, in Thailand and forgot to disconnect vpn after going betting site, so can't get any more on otherwise yes RF.

    Just a double for me from earlier with the archie watson runner poetic imagination, was 5/2 , ran a tidy race LTO and wasn't asked too much.

    Maybe someone knows something I don't, but 2/1 seems a helluva price for Abe Lincoln (3.00). Sure, Ryan Moore appears to be there to ride the €1.4m 2yo in the novice, but AL probaly needs a penalty from this to ensure a run in the Lincoln (sh hd 2nd in a soft ground Brittania 2 seasons ago).
    First run over 10f, but - around this sharp track - he ought to get it standing on his head.

    Betfair Sportsbook are going 4 places 1/5 odds 2.15 Wolverhampton. I like Final Attack e/way BOG - as he could be well h'capped judging by the horses he raced against in France 2 years ago. Was off for nearly 2 years but had a run over track and distance 3 weeks ago. I think there may be big improvement today?

    Limited Reserve has come a long way since I gave him a mention here, with a Coral Cup entry!

    I fancy River Frost but Limited Reserve could well be my back-up selection...

    Luke Morris fell to sleep on Chevallier (1.45) latest, but had won a better race than this (c/d) the time before, cosily
    With the dead 8 in attendance, looks a solid ew play at the current 8/1.

    In the 2.55, I'd doubt Atletico will be suited by this sharp 5f, much of his form indicates otherwise, and his outside draw could make life difficult.
    Conversely, Encore D'Or has the cockbird seat, and you'd expect Ryan Moore to capitalise on it. 11/4, and shortening.

    Hiya.

    I fancy Boom The Groom in the 2.55 race, RH. I was on Encore D'Or lto and having watched that race again, I am of the opinion that Boom wasn't given the full drive. Given that he's 6/1 here, I could fancy the value.

    Another one for me is Deeds Not Words at Chelmes 7.15. The ride on this one given by Franny last time was as gentle as you like. So gentle, in fact, that the stewards asked him to explain. Given that, it's quite likely that he'll blow out today. Anyway, I'm on the lookout for him.

    Agree with Boon The Groom. Good luck.
