    Decrypt won like a really good horse at Cork today.
    a fine specimen that covers a lot of ground standing and loads more when running , he might well be sold by owner /trainer Pat Twomey before too long.
    Marshal Jennings won the good handicap well and Katie was singing his praises on the grand stand so omens good for him.

    Am already on at 7-2 for the Prince Of Wales [Royal Ascot] & 7-1 to go one better in the Arc!

    Haggas could have another for same connections.
    Sea Of Faith only 4th yesterday, but more to come surely.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    I wouldn't be cribbing the ride tbh given how she broke away and it was just a starting point with a view to the future.
    Clearly she was better than where she finished and punters may feel hard done by but he was always going to be easy on her.

    Did not win as a juvenile but was 2nd three times. Though it was her two runs in Group races that caught my eye when despite still green [6 runs in total] ran with credit.

    Real story for me though is that she is trained by George Margarson, who is not a household name but knows what to do when in charge of a good horse especially one of the fairer sex
    Runs at Ascot on Wednesday

    Big drifter and though unplaced was not disgraced

    Runs in a handicap again at Ascot tomorrow [3.25] and the 28-1 with Bet Victor appeals each way

    Due out at Newbury next Saturday.

    Perrett has one who looked good first time out who could take her on.

    Tallann Geal

    Caught my eye when 6th despite greeness on his debut in a classy Punchestown bumper. In the good hands of Joseph O'Brien and a bright future is expected

    Think the listed race that Queen Power Won at Newbury on Saturday will prove to be the best seen this season in the 3 year old department

    The Stoute Filly has a great attitude and will improve over further and in my opinion is a Group One winner waiting to happen

    Looked decent beforehand, pretty sure it will turn out that way aswell after what we saw. Shame there wasn't much pace to run at but was very informative. Will be interesting to see where they point some of these.

    If taking her chance today [3.40] will not be disgraced despite concerns about ground and being rusty

    She never got involved and the only positive was that the horse will not be risked on deep ground again.

    Is a drifter but a Win bet at 9-2
