    I think Count Octave looks a decent e/w play in the Yorkshire Cup. On the face of it, no wins on turf may be a concern but his form whilst not winning is strong - 2nd to Stradivarius in the Queens Vase on GtF at RA followed that with another 2nd behind Call to Mind at Goodwood on good. I'm playing Octave as he should be fit to run today and there are signs of the Balding yard returning to form. Stradivarius could well pish up but I'll take a chance on the fitter Count.

    DUKHAN, 15:00 Newbury. 10/1

    First time cheek pieces, if they work & settle him down from previous starts, still holds a Derby entry (Unlikely to go, but gives you an idea how well thought of it is) Palmer having a good past 14 days 7/27 & Frankie hitting similar form 7/28. Stouts MEKONG is worth a look at too as his record in this race is 12 runners 3 winners & 7 places.

    Both drifting a little in the market, but will make the e/w angle more profitable. I will do a small stake RF just in case.

    Coquin Mans looks decent value here at 16/1. This fella has looked better over longer distances to me and certainly wasn’t stopping when winning at Fairyhouse. In the process of hacking up at Clonmel before Xmas when unfortunately slipped up. James Revely looks an interesting booking with his experience of riding here

    I don't think I have backed a winner since Ripp Orf in Victoria Cup! The highs and lows, the highs and lows! Anyways, i've found three backable horses today for the tipping competition, so will put them in a patent. Towcester 3:25 Rasasee. ( Unexposed hurdler, can do better now in handicap company). 3:55 No Buts. (I fancy this to run a good race today with new visors on). Carlisle 3:45 Destroyer (a nice horse who can run well first time out to exploit a fair rating).

    5 Ruth Carr's EXPLAIN ran well when staying-on at Chester, (in the race Gossiping was second to Baraweez in), having been very unlucky not to get a clear run. I do fancy Explain to win races this season.

    Declared for York 5:25 Saturday...should be no excuses.

    One of hers caught my eye at Doncaster last Saturday but I left it off the tracker - her strike rate put me off. Is she a decent handler?

    Yeah, she wins her fair share of handicaps, never had a problem with her mate. Wouldn't put you off one of hers.

    In the Irish Guineas Elarqam is expected to improve and he may well do so but enough to win a classic? I doubt that very much

    The horse had won his only 2 starts yet Mark Johnson couldn't get him spot on at Newmarket? I don't believe that for one minute and I reckon is what you saw is what you will get.

    Jim Crowley who I regard as a Jekyll and Hyde jockey would lace Ryan Moore's boots when it comes to tactics and I reckon Moore will be looking to win this by doing what he does best...holding up US Navy Flag in front.

    If Moore gan get him to settle in front and kick at the right time I reckon they will struggle to catch him..............US Navy Flag 3/1 looks a bet

    As for the rest of the card I'll be laying O'brien favs to be unplaced......no way will they all run as well as the prices suggest

    Qaysar looks the business in the 2.50, Haydock. Gave Emblazoned 9lbs and a comfortable beating 2 ago. the latter has won both races since and is now rated 95. A SJP entry suggests the Hannons think him more than a handicapper.
    4/1 currently.

    Agree with Fist on US Navy Flag and RM probably intended to slow the pace in the Poulains; unfortunately the French didn't want to know, and he had to go like hell from his outside draw. 0/30 taken.
