Runs tomorrow at York [4.55]Tadej
Be surprised if this 2 year old does not win some nice races after promising debut yesterday from poor draw
Unplaced though hung left throughout the race looking a difficult ride, is better than this..Runs tomorrow at York [4.55]
Currently 11-4
Couple caught my eye last week. At Sandown on the Thursday eve meeting I liked the run of EBT's Guard in the mile handicap for 3yos. This fella is out of a Nathaniel mare so I'm thinking he'll improve for further but having said that he was a bit keen here so I'm not totally sure what his optimum trip is. I backed Zipster in this race and he hated the soft ground, EBT's guard didn't look all at sea on it but he did change his legs four or five times in the last half furlong so better groound would be optimal.
The other horse is Boyfriend for the Hannon's. This colt "enjoyed" a typically awful Pat Dobbs ride at Goodwood on Friday. Drawn 1 rather than race just behind the pace he was three deep on the rail, didn't get a run and ended up being taken back and around the field before finishing like a train. He's interesting going forward hopefully with Levey up top.
Could be a Melrose type. Needs a trip and it's to his credit he ran so well over 10 at Newmarket in a good race (Merchant ahead of him who also looks a likely type for the York boatshow) which imo is way more interesting than the Ebor.Hallelujah U - Third in a slow run 10f handicap behind a Godolphin animal, he's related to some nice boats and needs 12f imo.
Won nicely and should be lots more to come, but quite a way off that lofty purchase price at the moment.Treanmor looked as though he might well be worth the €2,000,000
My Flat horse to follow is a yet to race Too Darn Holt colt trained by William Haggas who I hear is talented
High Degree
I was tempted by him as well but an 8lb rise put me off.Sovereign Sea ran a nice race on his turf debut (2.25 Newbury) to finish second to the fav. I'd say that was a nice run and I will be backing him next time.

,I hadn't spotted the big rise.
Do agree with your last para though on the LGC - it's become a race that throws up some good ones but I was a bit underwhelmed this time round. Notable Speech too I thought ran far better than he's been given credit for. So called experts are throwing out his chances at Ascot as he bombed last year but that was off the back of three quick runs and then into the Guineas which may have been a bit much. He then ran "awesome" at Goodwood but bombed on soft at Longchamp before running a pretty good race in the BC where he was beaten barely a length. He's top of my bets for Ascot.
Good luck,Jinny - though to my eyes NS's form shouts out he's not a stiff 1m horse; despite the Guineas win.

Cracking...thank goodness the gap came in time!Stick Balmoral Lady in your trackers after today's seasonal debut at Chester 1.30. Drawn wide she ran a really good race to finish third.
