    Shite from Winter Power. Ken P said she was light in the parade ring and I think I'll be putting the trainer in the don't back in a Group 1 list.

    She looked OK. She’s a sprinting filly. Personally I think KP is clueless.

    And rewatching the race, she just paid the price for a very strong early pace. Of those up there early, only Battaash lasted out and actually he’s run better than final placing suggests.

    I'll be keeping an eye on declarations tomorrow.

    I think Montego Bay if she makes the cut is very interesting on Friday for O Brien and Co.

    Top price 14/1 atm with Hills.

    Juice in that price if declared you'd have thought.

    Well you can’t knock Poetic Flare now can you? What a tough horse and well deserved.

    Poetic Flare/Palace Pier smash up would be good. Ground clearly key in that clash.

    Shame the Shadwell horse had no run through!
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    Luke: Jamie, do you have any chance? [On Lethal Steps]
    Jamie: Gordon told me to go out and enjoy myself.

    Who is this Gordon character?

    Finally a proper winner for me with Juan. He looked fantastic beforehand. And I have realised I got 22s on Betfair...nice!

    Nice winner too.

    I thought Fox Tal had the race won pretty much the whole way but he either didn't stay, didn't let himself down in the final two furlongs or is a dog. I suspect the last.

    Backed in from 20s to 15/2 an'a'.

    Haqeeqy (Hunt Cup) won a big field Lincoln cosy, held up off a strong pace. Lto was a small field, run at an average pace, and Jim Crowley was never able to drop him in. Tomorrow's race will be more up his street and he looks a solid bet.
    Well backed already, but some 9/1 available.
    My Oberon (POW) runs in first-time blinds tomorrow, which suggests he didn't see his race out, lto. As that was in the gp1 Ispahan, and he was only beaten a neck he's a bet for me,
    Maybe tho books know something I don't, but 25/1 upwards looks a barmy price.

    Wed
    2yo race no interest
    boat race even less interest
    Agincourt ew and we w/o fav. Second last year, overpriced although she did benefit from a pace collapse twelve months ago.
    Can't pick between Armoury and Lord North. Bet could be laying Love who has never run over the trip nor beaten a Group 1 horse
    This might be the best race of the meeting. Grove Ferry, Matthew Flinders two trackers I must back, Brunch added. Haqeeqy solid also but can't do four
    2yo race no interest
    It's not exactly Cheltenham is it, I've never heard of any of these in the last.

    Lousy opening day, everything i backed got cabbaged looking for a run(Lord Glitters, Kings Lynn, Royal Illusion, Blue Cup)

    Backed Love in the POW, and Double or Bubble in the 3.40, think Lucander is overpriced in the 5.00 runs well in big fields

    Kemari and Stowell in the 3.05 could be anything and are attractive prices

    Jockey error, imo.

    Reckon Champers Elysee (3.40) is a fast ground filly, on both pedigree and her Matron win on ground officially g/f at Leopardstown. No surprise she bombed out on her 2 runs this season, though they should ensure her fitness today.
    Looks a solid ew play @12/1 (4 places) on Betfair.

    Cowley did the same 2019. You can only make one run in a race, and in a sprint it's not 3f out.

    First day casualties: Doyle got 3 days for Ebro River. Buick 11, yes eleven for Rheshoun. Curtis got 4 days for Naamoos.

    Themaxwecan got a 6 month holiday after a second red card after 3 yellows at the stall.

    If they have watered last night, I'll bet they watered the 5 horses wide strip up the stand side that looked whiter than everywhere else on the course, and I thought I heard it mentioned yesterday that they would be moving the inside rail for fresh ground..
