All of a sudden the flat season has come tumbling in with an avalanche of races. Quite bewildering and in no way do I feel confident enough to make any assertive selections. Accordingly, I offer up some speculative picks in order to share the pain of what will probably be a disaster. Be that as it may, there’s no denying the sport on show and I'll enjoy the watching. One winner would be a minor miracle, though, I’m sure.
I have a couple running that have entered the notebook:
Base note – 1.50 Lingfield 14/1 Ew
My note reads:
Global Skies – Ascot 3.45 12/1 Ew
Note entry:
I shall add a third to complete my main bets:
Gin Coco – Haydock 3.15 22/1 Ew
I like the look of his Ascot win in November and also his last run at Plumpton , where he gave a stone to the useful Our Champ after a three-month break. It was a good blowout and he weakened only at the last. Good value at the price.
3 x Singles
Ew Trixie
Elsewhere, I’ll be doing these:
Great Bedwyn – Ascot 1.30 16/1
Windtothelightning – Haydock 1.35 14/1
Rose Prick – Ascot 2.05 9/1
Mostabshir – Ascot 2.40 8/1
Ew L15
As I say, I'll be lucky to get one winner from that lot.

Yes, that’s the caveat here, isn’t it but I feel the price is tempting enough to draw me in.
