Day 3

[barjon]

After yesterday’s feast will it be famine today? Hope not . I guess the going might play a big part - it’s not looking like more rain at the moment, though - so I’ll hold off until nearer post-time.

Those I’ll be looking at:

Perfuse - 1:50 - ran up with a strong pace in the King George at Ascot and did best of those who did so as the hold-ups took over. I like the Ryan Moore booking, too. Also in this one, I’ve got an eye on Gosden’s Theoryofeverything with William Buick up.

Al Husn - 3:35 - on the figures he has much to find with nearly all these, but she is developing well and did surprise the odds-on Nashwa on her last run at Newcastle - 12/1 looks a bit ott.

Man of Eden - 4:45 - is beginning to look one of those horses who keep flattering to deceive, but he ran well at Haydock last time over 7f after a slow start which meant he couldn’t grab a decent position. Finished strongly and he’s back up with the extra furlong today which should help. Worth an EW shout with six places on offer.

Whatever next. 20/1 yesterday, 12/1 today - not my style at all. Perfuse was more my style, but you’d have to look very closely to see if he was actually in the race at all, same with Theory of everything. Harry Davies seemed to invite trouble on Man of Eden who did well to finish 3rd in the end. Surely the chips will fall more kindly for him someday.

Got to mention Vandeek who looked pretty hot property, but it was a shame that five of the opposition opted out. Like to see him against stiffer opposition - I reckon he’ cope.

Lovely 9/1 winner, my friend, and a placed 10/1, too. Happy days, mate.
