Overall, an enjoyable day's racing. Only the one winner courtesy of the improving Montassib but I didn't feel cheated by any of my runners. so that's good.
There a couple of mine going today but they race in Eire and those big Curragh races always have me by the short 'n curlies: no idea. So I'll do them but they'll be shots in the dark really and they'll be done for 'insurance purposes, as you might say, DO. I'll not be able to resist a punt in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter, too; you know me and my staying chases.
My three punts will be 'lightly pencilled', as they say in the casting business :
JMm Jungle - 2.40 Curragh Ew 17/2 Ew 5 places 365
You know, this ran like a pig for me last time out but I still believe this was an improving 3yo last back end so I'll stay loyal here, hoping they were saving him for this bigger pot.
Couer D'Or - 4.40 Curragh 9/2 Ew 5 places 365
One noted at Ascot in the Hunt Cup and I'm hoping that this doesn't come too soon after just eleven days.
Hang In There - 3.00 Uttoxeter 9/1 Ew 5 places Sky
It's a complete mystery to me why they've only tried this lad once previously over 3m. He's bred to stay, isn't he. Well, they tried it lto and he ran second in a fast-paced affair. Top weight but I think the action here might be between the top two.
That's what I'll be doing and I hope, as usual, I get a run.
