heavens guest,intrigo
A really decent time although soft ground at Epsom not necessarily going to work out elsewhere but would be hard to back against these two on next runs in same conditons.The previous 7f race ran at a decent pace by emell ratted 102 and well aquainted 102 fought out the finish of the listed race,the time of that race only .25 quicker than the 86 and 82 rated pair in the handicap.There was over 7ls back to the 4th this race the form looks rock solid and these two look to be worth following.
celestial bay,diluga
Don't know whether these are worth following but i'd like to see the marks they're given tonight finishing 1,2 in a maiden over 5 1/2fs running only .13 slower than the class 4 handicap.I'll come back to these once they've got marks as the 4yr olds run to a mark of 75 looking at the handicap and only had two runs and the 3yr old becomes interesting as well once receiving a mark.They may not get decent marks but always worth looking back at just incase the handicapper is lenient!!!
Barons spy
Going to keep an eye on barons spy he's 12 now so maybe past his best but almost invariably wins in june and loves bath now 5/7 over his favbourite c/d.He ran tonight well beaten but this may have just been his prep run,not quite in june yet
he's down to a mark of 80 lowest since june 2011 when he won.He won last season off 84 so even at 12 he maybe worth backing at some big prices on favourite track.
