Good write up, Danny.
I will have to include this horse in my L15 on Saturday.

Well don't worry about it you could still get 3 winners Marb
Man who catch fly with chopstick .... accomplish anything.
Probably just the market adjusting to the slightly smaller field with the final decs but I notice Max Vega is blue in a number of places and 40s tops. I might go in again at that price if I can get the extra place.

Desert Orchid (2nd July 2020)
Magnetic force 745 navan 50/1
Won the race last year off 3lb lower and followed up off 1lb higher.wasnt beaten that far behind njord last time.50s look generous.
And I will be checking the extra place market.

Good spot, Outsider, and a fine example of what this thread can turn up.
I will have a dabble on Magnetic Force. I have already backed Tauran Shaman at 8’s last evening. Looked to me last time out to be clearing the pipes in readiness for a run although not as soon as this. Since I have had a brief, and much needed, good run recently fuelled by the performance of the Harrington team I have a worthwhile bet so now one to add for the forecast.

Didn't need those extra places mate what a pick. I've seen some guys big themselves up online over the years but you are quiet, humble and one of the best judges I've seen. Top man !

Great shout that outsider

I've done two cliff horses in the 305 Naas.
gopsies daughter 20/1 is so well hcapped.now 21 lb below its last winning mark.
The other is Straffan 66/1 I was confident this horse would win a race but so far it hasnt really threatened.will have to look at the extra place market.

Well done, Outsider.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
Haydock 2.40 Byron's Choice 33/1. Lower odds are available to four places but still qualify for the thread. This one was running well in races of this nature off 91 and 93 last season and gets in here off 87, probably an over-reaction to a poor return performance last month. He should probably be a single-figure price on his best form.

Haydock 3.50 Sacred Belief 66/1 - I only looked at this race as part of the ITV7 otherwise it is a barge-pole job.
However, I noticed RP man Ben Hutton tipped it in the Spotlight section so since he has spent time looking at the race and decided this was worth selecting I've taken it in the comp. He probably wasn't anticipating 66/1 being available but you never know.
Anyroads, here's his synopsis:
Given this week's rain a chance is taken on SACRED BELIEF. She showed just minor promise at Lingfield on last month's debut but the dam's side of her pedigree suggests soft ground will suit and that could be a major plus.

I've been unable to resist a little sickness insurance on Dolphin Vista at 50/1 in this 3.00 at Epsom. Local trainer and I've put it up before only for it to let me down.

I can't see past Love in the Oaks but I managed to get 20/1 ew Passion in the market without Love but I've also taken 33/1 in the full market.
I think plenty of those shorter in the market won't be true stayers.

I find myself being drawn towards a lot of shortish single-figure-priced horses today but will have a small saver on Frankuus (Haydock 3.15) who probably shouldn't be 50/1, certainly not on his best form. That, though, is probably the rub. He was taken out of training but is now with O'Meara. Gelded since his final run last season, his better run was first time up. The ground might not suit but he won on it in his youth and was taken out of a race last week because of fast ground. Maybe there was a physical problem that gelding has sorted and, by the way, he was 3/3 here for Mark Johnston.

I knew you were going to put this up today i sort of made the same case myself, its certainly one that could go horribly wrong but if anyone can pull a master stroke like that its O'meara. Its certainly a strange move to send him over the mile and a half first time up perhaps he thinks being gelded has settled him down a bit.
I'll be watching with interest D.O good luck.

I was pleased to see Frankuus go forward from the start the other day and equally saddened to see him pull up, the jockey reporting that he lost his action. Fortunately, the horse was reported sound after the race and maybe the jockey's caution will pay dividends in due course. I imagine when next week's ORs are published he'll have been dropped a few pounds so the cloud might come with a silver lining.
As for today, I don't have any single longshots but I've dabbled in doubles for the sake of an interest.
At Market Rasen, Highly Prized (9/2) and my old pal San Benedeto (10/1) will pay 54/1 if both win as I hope.
Highly Prized, remember, was still close up at the last in the Betfair when hampered right out of the race. A repeat of that promise would probably be good enough to win here.
San Benedeto is better than a handicapper when they let him loose. If he's been trained for this he just needs to be close to his last win to be good enough.
Ghostwatch (3.00 Nwm, 11/1) and Global Storm (3.35 Nwm, 11/2) are better than the bare results at Ascot and represent a team in superb form. These races represent a drop in class for them an the double pays 77/1.
And, as the British women used to say during the war, I feel a Yankee coming on.
