One of the biggest meetings of the year although you wouldn't have thought it here. More interest in a jockey thumping a horse.

I like:

Ronald R in the Clipper Logistics at 12s and 9s. Ran a blinder in the Britannia before a race that didn't suit next time out.

Dartmouth in the Lonsdale. 6s about a horse who acts on the track and was better than the bare result in the Yorkshire Cup is simply too big given the opposition. The Mullins horse that heads the market was impressive at Ascot but beat nothing. I'll be looking to hedge on the Haggas horse with a daft name.

Will back Queen's Trust against Enable in the Oaks.

Cheers for the heads up. I did Move In Time lto, a very well handicapped horse on its best form, worth trying again in tomorrows 1:55 with near enough bottom weight.

Probably would have won the Derby had he been that forward. Wondering if they might change their minds about running again this season?

I was going to have a decent bet on Happy Like a Fool today who I reckon will take some beating but that was until I saw the price of Enabled (1.37 at the time on the machine currently 1.32)

The way Ulysses won yesterday Enabled must be the biggest certainty since Arkle won his second Gold Cup only Enabled has less hazards to face:0) Acts on any ground opposition is crap
30% plus added to my entire bank will put me in a good position for the flat season so I'll be all in by the off a loss will leave me with 2.07p :0( got plans for the 2 quid lol

Win lose or draw a 4 week rest from betting..............I'm sick of being up one minute and down the next because quite frankly way too much dross running on the flat ...Just not enjoyable or profitable enough for the hours put in enjoyable


If Enable fooks up I certainly won't He happy Like a Fool:)

David Bridgewater sends his foreign import, the lightly raced and unexposed Cohesion, to the Ebor on Saturday.
This is a talented horse, who won his first two races abroad, then beat future winner Fabricate at Wolverhampton.

Cohesion's had a three month break since one poor run in Chantilly, but he will have been freshened up for Saturday. He has a very similar profile to previous winner Litigant, having come from abroad, won on the a/w, also raced in the same valuable race at Lingfield.

I'm doing him each way. I may also back something else.

Prufock / Simon Rowlands goes for Magic Circle. Interesting.

Magic Circle and Cohesion (e/w) against the field then maybe. ;)

Bridgewater can be very shrewd in the context of selling hurdles-might throw a few shekels at that one.
 
I own a very tiny share in Flymetothestars. Will travel up but won't run (current thinking, can always change) without soft in the description
 
Yeah Luke, I think he's best of the rank outsiders and could out run the odds. That's all I can say with any surety. Between him and Magic Circle I can hopefully get a good result..
 
The Nunthorpe has got to be the race of the meeting with it near impossible to split Lady Aurelia who was born straight into the top ranks and new to the top ranks Battash


Not betting but Battash did such a fast time last time out I can't believe he won't peg her back on the ground if it gets much softer but it won't be easy
 
It's definitely a race to look forward too. I won't be betting on it but I'm hoping for a thriller.

How do you feel about Dartmouth? Crapper.
 
Dartmouth ran all the way to the line Martin can't be faulting him.

Euro the Nunthorpe perhaps tells why Davy Russell punching a horse is more interesting when even the best in training get stuffed every other run. In my book that today was the equivalent of Altior and Douvan being beaten by Fox Norton...very hard to swallow

I've changed my mind a bit. Cohesion and Wild Hacked I'm taking against the field now. Wild Hacked is my main hope.
 
Staying loyal to Cardsharp despite his penalty tomorrow - ground was against him at Goodwood. The Ebor as usual is a non-event - missing the 3yos.

Each to their own, Euro, but I find those big handicaps totally irresistible!

The 3yos tended to make it a non-event for me. All you had to do was wait and see what Stoute, Cecil, Tree etc had put away for it. Since it became more difficult for 3yos to make the cut the race is far more competitive and challenging.
 
Scarlet Dragon travelled all over a strong Newmarket field last backend, before asserting comfortably in the closing stages. Owner's always regarded him an Ebor horse, and has been placed accordingly since. Looks sure to improve for the step up in trip and his capable pilot ought to be able to place him where she likes from his decent draw before pouncing.
12/1, currently
 
I’m already down before this race even starts, with both ante-post bets taken out at the final declaration stage so I’m going to have to try and come from behind.

Scarlet Dragon goes well for Hollie Doyle so I’m not going to let her booking put me off what now looks a very reasonable percentage call. The horse is unproven at the trip but improved when stepped back up to 12f at the end of last season (with this jockey) and again last time. Being by Sir Percy, there has to be a chance he’ll improve a bit at this trip.

Battersea has to be respected as he runs ahead of two stablemates to whom I’d have given better chances. Claimers dominated the finish last season so I wouldn’t see Egan as a negative and the horse was gelded before his penultimate run. This looks a season-long plot.

Elidor looks a solid marker. He could run his lifetime best and find one or two getting the better of him.

Ivan Grozny could have a chance on his hurdling form but it’s already factored into his price that he can translate it.

Magic Circle won tidily enough the other day to earn the penalty that enabled him to make the cut but that same penalty will compromise his chances in this better race.

Maleficent Queen is a must-bet at 50/1 or bigger (and now 6 places). First time cheekpieces might bring about a revival in her form. She was in the form of her life in the spring at this kind of trip but was dropped back through the summer other than when pulling up in the Northumberland Plate (presumably something went amiss) so it’s interesting that she pops up again here in the first-time headgear.

I don’t think I’d want to try and put anyone off anything they fancy but I’m happy to take my chances with Scarlet Dragon, Battersea and Maleficent Queen.
