What are you backing Today? Part 2

I think Orchard Keeper - 6.40 Goodwood may be a little better than this field and he gave good notice with his last run over the course. The extra 2f will suit, I feel. 5/1
WD - off to my local for a pint (& a listen to Pet Sounds whilst I'm there ) to celebrate

Cheers, guys.

Brian Wilson - wow. The harmonies, the invention. Just too much. Celebrate is the right word, mate (y) :cry:
 
A double today for me today, both running at Hexham

5.28 College Causeway
6.28 Ballystone

(Adding Looks Matter for a treble to v small stake).
 
Bulletin should appreciate the step up to 9f in the first at Sandown and is a nice price. Only other bet is El Cordobes in the listed race at York. He's the one horse in this that unexposed over a staying trip and being by Frankel out of a Sea the Stars mare he should relish it. I took 5s upon decs and will top up before the race. I will also put some IR lays in at short odds as he is a pace horse and should go shorter. The Mullins fav is criminally short imo and Alsakib could be the main danger.

Yup. Agree on El Corbodes for the reasons stated. I think he’s going to relish the extra yardage. Main bet, for sure.

I’ll also have the merest of dabbles ew on Loving Look 5.35 Sandown.
 
A bit late.
YORK 1:50
Have HUMAM and GLENFINNAN noted for different reasons.

Humam didn't seem to enjoy the climb at Ascot, but I also thought I'd overestimated it when noting it on the AW too.
Glenfinnan I noted as the Yard beign out of shape and ideally needing a climb to the finish. It seemed ot be travelling well on level courses recently, but got cut up. Has a big swing in weights with Havana Pusey (I think that's the one it is). Anyway, it's interesting they're trying the TT today. Maybe the jockey heard something LTO and maybe, just maybe, that's why it's had a prefference for uphill finishes. It's one for horse conformation specialists, i'm just making assumptions and jumping to conclusions. There's usually a reason they try a TT though, it's not like switching from a visor to giving blinkers a spin.
It's a complicated race, I've spent ages looking at it and could make a case for most of them, while at the same time finding reason that all of them shouldn't win. So I've gone EW with Glenfinnan at 14/1, in the hope that the TT helps it perform as well as it does with a climb to the line. The yard is still slowly improving, having been through an incredible lean spell in May, yet despite that, Glenfinnan ran well first couple of times, if you projected where it could have finished.

Backing Alsakib in this. Agree about Absurde's price. Will do a straight forecast El Cordobes & Alsakib as a saver as I reckon Euro is a good judge.
 
I was on Classic at Sandown - not like Mr Moore to get in that sort of trouble.

An enquiry was held to consider interference inside the final furlong out involving The winner, URBAN LION, ridden by Edward Greatrex, CLASSIC , placed second, ridden by Ryan Moore and URBAN SPRAWL, placed fourth, ridden by Billy Loughnane. The interference was found to be accidental as, at the same time as Moore angled slightly left-handed off the heels of a weakening BALMACARA , URBAN LION, who was hanging right-handed shifted slightly right-handed despite the riders best efforts, causing Loughnane to be shortened for room and switch left-handed.
