I suspect Inspiral bounced.
She'll probably definitely be kept to her own gender and age now and hopefully will be a better price next time than she should be.
I do hope no one lost big money on her.

Won a few quid on Soapy and very nearly lumped it all on Inspiral..when in doubt and all that haha.
Chester 4.53 - True Jem 5/1 - tracker alert from a race I identified earlier in the season. Badly bumped last time so that disappointment is forgivable and I'm happy with the price (BOG).

Super Saturday and I have a few:
Jimi Hendrix 2.40 Newm. Ran a screamer from the front in the Britannia, a very hard race to make all in and finishing third there does him great credit. In oppo you have a Hannon horse who won a podunk race at Donny against three rivals and a Godolphin who won a Thirsk novice by a head. Of course being a blue boy you have to fear them but the selection is very solid at 7/2
Mutassabeq 3.35 Ascot. This looks trappy on first glance but Chindit heads the market and I think he needs a straight track. He was below form over course and distance in the SJP last year and also at Goodwood. My Oberon and Modern News have their chances but I really like the way Muta' finished his race in the Sandown mile and this stiffer mile should really suit. He didn't act at Epsom last time.
Star of Orion Bunbury Cup. Already mentioned in the thread of this race.
Mahrajaan John Smiths. He's not much of a price now but got 12/1 when the ap market for this was up. He travelled well first time up behind Contact at Haydock before tiring and he's in the best hands - I just thought his price was always gonna shorten if he made it here.
Just Fine same race. A tracker horse since a good run in third at the track in May he was poor at Royal Ascot but the horses who beat him at York have franked the form since then so I thought he was worth another go.
Caturra/Korker City Walls. I'm not convinced Winter Power has trained on but she's actually become a backable price in this (mainly due to the staggering odds of Royal Acclaim who is 3s despite zero worthwhile form). I thought Korker was too big at 10s on Monday, he ran a stormer after being left at the start at the Royal meeting and before that won a handicap impressively off of a lofty rating. Caturra has good form with Mitbaahy and has his chance here if the fav bombs out.

Via Serendipity 1.45Y
12/1 B365
Outsider (9th July 2022)
As winner of last year's Nunthorpe Winter Power 4.40Y is streets ahead of lstd class, and her attempt to make all in a red hot King's Stand should have cleared her pipes nicely. Looks a good thing for this, on her way to repeat last year's triumph.
5/2 B365
4.05 York-Caradoc
Each Way @ 14-1 [Bet 365] five places
Is better than recent form figures suggest

My thoughts for today, based on my own figures, written on Thursday. The Bunbury Cup and Magnet Cup are on their own threads:
Newmarket 2.40 - I’ve taken 9/2 Bay Of Honour, a standout price (Hills) with the longest elsewhere being 3/1. Godolphin won this last year with Royal Fleet off 93, which went up to 100 for winning and he's now 110 or so. Buick opts for Bay Of Honour over the 100-rated New Kingdom (Doyle) so I wouldn't be surprised if this is another good 'un. Godolphin also won it with First Contact (100, raised to 109). It’s a smashing wee race, though, and it would be no surprise whichever of them won.
Newmarket 4.25 - I’m interested that Buick sticks with Creative Force but wonder if he had the choice. It’s also possible Naval Crown was on the wrong side at Ascot. Alcohol Free would have a shout on her best form but is she up to showing it? Same goes for Emaraaty Ana. Artorius looked marginally unlucky but there’s no guarantee Spencer will time it right. On balance, I have to stick with Naval Crown (13/2 taken). I might have a wee pop at Emaraaty Ana at long odds. The trainer was unlucky in this race with a similar type in Brando.
York 4.40 - Winter Power had been woeful this season but all her best form is here and if she’s anywhere near that level she wins with her head in her chest.
Ascot 3.40 - I’m not getting too involved in this race. I’m happy to take 16/1 Stone Of Destiny, with Probert here for the ride, and leave it at that.
Ascot 3.35 - I’ll only have a bet in this if it’s a free one, in which case it will be Mutasaabeq (7/2).
Illegitimi non carborundum
I've had to give Alligator Alley (Ascot 3.00) one more chance with a first time tongue tie on as it could be what the horse needs. He had good form when trained by Joseph O Brien.
Good luck all today.

Non-runner. Money saved.

I’m awash with trackers today, but my only strong bet was Mugader who is a non-runner. Last time he beat Nova Legend who went in my tracker from his earlier run where he came on strong towards the end, hitting the line hard into 2nd. Going with him 7:30 Hamilton 2/1atm.
Washraa 4:45 Ascot 9/4 atm looked to be going well in the Sandringham until getting tight for room and clipping heels. Kept on, though and would have finished much closer.
Can only support Euro’s comments regarding Jimi Hendrix and Mutasaabeq.
Think David Barron could have a good day today
Zarzyni- 3.00 Asc
Baryshnikov- 4.05 York
Persuasion- 3.50 Nwm
Had e.w's on all 3
Nap for me today is Winter Power at York, the stars are aligned for him.
Taken each way on the following
300A Cairn Gorm
350N Ropey Guest
405Y Great Gadian
You could soon empty your betting account with all the racing today!
If I have a bad day today I might have to get a job (part-time).
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that!

Someone landed a right touch on Defence Of Fort.On the exchance back from 65 all the way down to take out around 160K

Well done JH backers. I'm wondering if there's marginally better ground on the near side.

Yeah well done Euro Jimi chinned mine by a neck aswell!
I have been beaten two necks the last two races at Newmarket, at least I had them each way.
