I honestly thought before doing the race that JH would be my selection for those same reasons. He's joint-top on my ratings but it's with the other Godolphin, hence my keenness to side with Buick since he seems to have opted form him.

1.50 Newmarket-New London @ 5-2 [Coral]
Pretty sure he is better than a handicapper

I've gotta say, I'm gonna be very fcked off if the blue boys farm these handicaps this weekend. I find it difficult to make a case for any of them on form.

Aside from Yonafis (hanging on despite the drift, although no add) I’m finding it difficult to find a bet today so I’ll just lark about. Only a fool would bet against Inspiral but 25/1 seems tempting for Primo Bacio who looked as though she was beginning to fire again last time at Ascot.

The Yonafis drift is 100% New London related who is into 7/4 now. I mean, I can see the case, the horse he beat on the Rowley Mile in his novice is rated in the 100s now but it's a bit depressing - I wish they could find a fcking listed race for him at Salisbury or something.

The more I look at the race the more I think Candleford should be opposed at Newmarket. His pedigree suggests he's not guaranteed to appreciate this step up in trip plus he's had a large ratings hike. I've gone with Trawlerman who was never put in the race at the royal meeting and who is by Golden Horn out of a Monsun mare - that's boat heaven right there. Also interested in Benefit at York. Yes she was behind the fav at Haydock but there was an element of Flotus and Sense of Duty getting first run that day. Benefit strikes me as potentially more progressive as well - her win at Salisbury was visually impressive.
I was going to put Inspiral up today but I was worried someone following me would steal all the 1/7
Good day yesterday 2 Stra Bet winners and 2 big priced selections placed.
Don't intend losing my illgotten gains so only some small interest today.
Considerning the strength of his squad and them deciding on the July meeting to intruduce Flying Honours
the RP says he holds Group 1 entry but was that made before he was in full training?
I'll take a chance and lay Flying Honours at 4/6 NOT to be in the first 2.
I much prefer New London 12/5 for CA and William Buick in the 2nd
Goes against the grain to see Mawj beaten so I won't have a bet in the 3rd
San't have Summer Knight at all and much prefer to Dutch Candleford and Contact who head the markt deservidly so.
Dashing Dick EW appeals
g/l all and take it easy look very trappy today

After the fact but she did miss the guineas. Maybe what was ailing her back then has re-emerged
