    This next race at Goodwood - Atomic Impact 20/1 - Burke newcomer with Tudhope up. They won the Chesham with a newcomer so why not...

    I've also taken 80/1 Boy Browning. I like EJH and Bishop.

    Nice debut for fifth but only four places being paid.

    In for a penny...

    I've gone in again at 28s to 6 places and 40s (boosted to 45s, BOG) to 4 places. Just small bets.

    Golden mile Friday

    ORBAAN 33/1 really didnt expect him to get in but he has.took 50s a/p
    Hasnt really been showing any form until recently with 2 2nds over 7f and then running well in the international from a bad draw.
    Was a bit unlucky in it last year with Jamie on board and is now 13lb lower.
    Whether or not it is good enough is open to question but is certainly well hcapped.
    SDS rides and is drawn 1 but that could cause a problem as it's usually held up.

    520g BOWMAN 25/1 this one led all the way at Epsom at 80/1 and I'm hoping he does the same today.if he does then it could get exciting in the last furlong.6 places.

    I actually think Kirby thought he'd won it. Not blaming him or anything but he could have given the filly another tap.

    Just saw the head-on. I think if he hadn't straightened her she'd have won. He might have been disqualified but I'd have got FPTP

    Still, much more satisfying and rewarding than a 5***** short-price loser...

    Might just be on the wrong O Meara horse there mate or perhaps you're right and I'l be on the wrong one.

    Rhoscolyn 25/1 Bit of a boring or rather straight forward bit of thinking but an unlucky loser in this last year off a mark of 104 lines up off 103 and has Harry Davies taking 5lb off. He's mostly been running over 7f all season and bar one shocker at Newmarket has run fairly consistently. 1 run over a mile this term in a grp 2 and didn't get beat that far had to do the donkey work as the front runner in that which isn't his usual style. Only neg really is a bit of a shitty draw but at 25/1 you never get everything your own way.

    Best of luck.

    Actually having read your reasoning and looked at it I think you're probably on the right lines I'm gonna back both and that'll do me cheers Outsider.

    I've done 4 of Omearas
    Orbaan 50/1
    Young fire 33/1
    Blue for you 25s
    Rhoscolyn 25/1

    And even earlier I did Ouzo 33/1

    So I've got some decent prices just hope one of them wins.

    Good luck mate.
