I suspect her form since then has been about getting her mark back down and they’ve succeeded. She’s a pound lower than for that latter win. She's jt-top on my figures but 4lbs clear on RPRs so would be a value bet anyway but the third place is compelling an each-way approach. You can get 10/1 if you fancy the win-only bet.



    Out to 12s. That's a worry but I've gone in again BOG.

    3rd, backed in to 6/1. I'll take it. Arguably lost the race in the first two furlongs by sitting too far back.

He can’t afford to wait until the weights come out and pick up just a 4lbs penalty. (Took a big price for the Ebor but held off here, didn't back it, forgot about it, haven't backed it, now 9/4...)(12/1 Cockalorum taken too.)
    SC faded out of it. Money saved, I suppose.

    Glory and Honour Redcar 5:25

    Here is a gelding of six years who has just gained a lowly mark of 59 having run three times last or second last over distances of 7f and 1mile, at least half a mile too short for him (before all that he’s been hurdling and won a couple)

    Tomorrow is his handicap debut and wonderboy BDLS treks north for the ride which is over 1m6f. Absolutely no form to commend him on the flat and marginal odds-on at the moment, nonetheless if I see evens I’ll snap it up. If I finish up poorer I suspect I won’t be alone.

    Never saw evens which was just as well. In retrospect writing was probably on the wall by the load of late money for Red Force One. Maybe that was the one in play all along - or perhaps I just imagine plots everywhere

    Yeah good shout Reet. I couldn't back bring myself to back her as I actually liked her a bit for Royal Ascot where I feel she underperformed.

    Good to see her back winning though. And you!

    Cheers guys.
    Marb - she's a speed filly, and Ascot's not a speed track; today's was.

    5 from my notebook, but 1 NR and 4 drifters overnight so no go unless there’s late money . Otherwise Little Mis Dynamo 5:25 Ascot is down 2 in Class having run quite well in her seasonal opener at Chester before being swamped at the end when not put under much pressure - just a pipe opener, I hope . I think the stiff 5 furlongs will suit and taken 8/1 ew to three places.


    Blimey! Pipe opener looked wishful thinking, looks like she’s lost it
