Clearly they do, runs in a 0-90 off a lowly 73.Ed Walker, trainer: "She has good form from last year. She didn't enjoy the all-weather last time but should have won at Bath the time before, she never really got a run. She's been training well and this seems like a nice starting point for her ? we think she's a well-handicapped filly.
11/2 generally.
Treyarnon Bay should be an absolute steering job for Nico tonight. The opposition looks moderate at best
Should be in the "will win" "should be odds on" threads
Cost 60k and has come on leaps according to a social media contact (Usually very reliable) and I'll be surprised if the owner doesn't get most of that back today off the bookies.
Treyarnon Bay Evens 5Star ***** bet.

I'd be worried this isn't as cut and dried as it looks at first glance. Ground may be a little on the firm side which might go against some of these (incl Treyarnon Bay), especially anything with significant promise where they may be thinking 'don't let her down on this ground if it's not going easily'. I'd be looking at the first 2 races to see what it looks like.
Night on the Town is supposedly rated ( though I'd be looking for softer ground, at a guess. Check the sire.)
Walk of no Shame could be anything
Mel Rowley is a name to remember and Masked Dance could do well at some point
For Gina ran OK in a Newbury bumper and may have improved for Lucy Wadham (and Desert King in the line is notable)
Space Voyage and Olly Murphy, say no more
...and there's another one I won't mention that hopefully will be on Desert Orchid's longshot thread in around 5 - 8 runs time (hopefully at treble figures!)
This might be harder to call than it looks, and it may well turn out that this isn't a bad race, hence, if Treyarnon Bay does take it, yes it's possible we saw a listed mares winner at some point. At a minimum, if any of these do get close, they may be worth noting for future races.

Desert Orchid (9th May 2022)
TB won well I think..although if anyone had a ton on her, they would have had some adrenaline surging around 2f out.
Night on the town did seem to run as if softer ground would help. Hunted up round the back for most of the race but maybe just didn't have the pace to get forward early enough. Finished well but unfortunately well enough that we won't get any nice enough price if they do find a soft ground bumper.
Walk of no shame did fight hard enough till seemingly outclassed.
But the very nearly nightmare scenario of the race........
"and there's another one I won't mention that hopefully will be on Desert Orchid's longshot thread in around 5 - 8 runs time (hopefully at treble figures!)"
She shot us in the foot and ran 2nd at 125-1, arguably finishing best of all. That wasn't supposed to happen till a class 5 novices handicap in about a year's time!! and for a couple of seconds a furlong out the real nightmare looked a worrying possibility! Clearly, that's done us for the longshot thread at 3 figures but maybe she can run a few bad races from here and get us 20s or so in a handicap down the line.
All in all, some lessons learned (or relearned, depending on how you look at it)
Desert Orchid (9th May 2022)
Treyarnon Bay Job done
Ran a bit green but picked up well enough when Nico gave her a couple of slaps
Never at any point was I worried despite the fact she didn't get into full flight until the last 100 yds.
The fact she was a bit green I certainly wouldn't be rushing to back anything that finished behind her anytime soon.

I'm globetrotting to back French War 2/1 at Sale Australia.
A bit like Treyarnon Bay the opposition looks moderate and they've had this in mind for him for a few months

French War Returned 3.3 won easily

Marbuzet Bev 4.45 Easterby is one of those trainers where I back one & it runs like a drain then pops up at a good price in the next run or 2 but nothing ventured.......
I'm prepared to have a little on this one today (already backed it on the exchange).

Tomorrow in the 1 o'clock at salisbury I've done DIAMOND COTTAGE drifted from 8s to 12s.
Long standing maiden but has been placed a few times.
It ran on tuesday over 6f and steps back up to 7f tomorrow and has run well here in the past.
Getting lumps of weight off the favourite.

Brian Hughes looks likely to try and make all in the first at Perth
but I think he'll be up against it. There's absolutely nothing to
say the drop in trip will improve his chances.
Cirque Royal's 5th at Cheltehham gives him a right chance here
and he has been knocking on the door in 3 of his last 4 races.
He clearly didn't appreciate the heavy ground at Aintree
and went from looking like taking a hand in the finsih to stopping like shot.
He travels well in his races so I expect keeping tabs on Battle Frontier won't be aproblem
and I'd expect him to win with afair bit in hand,
The 11/4 was quickly snatched up
