At the Start
Newbury 1.10
DASHING APPROACH (13/2) gave the impression of being "a bit of a madam" when third at Salisbury earlier this month - flashing her tail, pulling hard and hanging in the closing stages, she is a New Approach half-sister to, Barshiba, the winner of two Group 2s over 12f.
HARDINGTON (25/1), making his debut, is a Fastnet Rock half-brother to a couple of smart American performers.
Wolverhampton 8.10 - a couple of longshots here:
PALISADE (14/1) is a Fastnet Rock half-brother to Windshear who ran fourth in last year's St. Leger - trained by Sir Mark, so who knows - a winner or tailed off last??
INWITHACHANCE (50/1) and a very unlikely winner but he is a gelded half-brother to Ransom O' War, a Group 1 winner in Germany.

A total of 4 FSS wins since Friday:
On Friday Donjuan Triumphant (4/1) was a 3 1/4 lengths winner for top5-FSS Dream Ahead and on Saturday Storm Rising (4/5f) won by 3 lengths for top5-FSS Canford Cliffs.
Additionally, there were 2 more FSS wins on Saturday when Maestro Mac (4/1) was a 3/4 length winner for Roderic O'Connor and Madame Barker (6/1) was a 1 1/4 lengths winner for Frozen Power.
In brief, the standing at the top of the FSS stats shows Zoffany with a 28-26 lead over Canford Cliffs, far behind are Dream Ahead on 16, Lilbourne Lad and Poet's Voice on 14 each, the rest nowhere.
Today there are 10 2-y-o races - Hamilton (1), Kempton (4), Leicester (3) and Navan (2) - today's top5-FSS runners are:
Hamilton
1.50 Canford Cliffs Cuppatee 7/1
Kempton
2.40 Lilbourne Lad Somers Lad 66/1, Poet's Voice Four Poets 14/1 & Gimlet 14/1
3.10 Poet's Voice Calliope 28/1 & You Wish 80/1
3.40 Poet's Voice Dramatic Voice 20/1 & Polymnia 20/1
Leicester
2.30 Poet's Voice Electric Voice 9/1
3.00 Canford Cliffs Hitman 22/1, Poet's Voice Arab Poet 12/1
Navan
1.45 Zoffany Gainmill Girl 16/1
2.15 Canford Cliffs Ocean Tides 14/1
Strange, an ordinary racing Monday and a total of 8 Poet's Voices are gonna run today. I'd be surprised if there's a winner amongst them today, the large number may be of help for PV though.
Enjoy!

A good debut coming 1/2 length 2nd behind the experienced 11/8f Rayisa, D.Weld's horse a further 2 1/2 lengths back in third.
There was quite a bit of market support for her, too, so that the opening odds of 5/2 shortened to 15/8.
I think the form will turn out well as Best In The World did not go down without a fight. The race will have brought her on and may be the next step is the Dubai Fillies Mile (Gr.1) at Newmarket on October 9th.
AP has got plenty of entries in this one though, so it's a matter of wait and see whether the step up in class is not too early and which of his candidates AP would think it's best to send over.

Both of today's FSS favourites obliged.
First of all Rio's Cliffs was a 10/3 winner for Canford Cliffs. The odds were considerably higher than what the Sporting Life posted this morning, nevertheless Rio's Cliffs beat the 15/8 favourite by 1 1/2 lengths.
Twenty minutes later the 5/4f Altarsheed cruised to a 6 lengths victory for Lilbourne Lad.
These two wins result in Canford Cöiffs sitting 1 win behind Zoffany who is still up by 28-27.
Same applies for the fight for third place where Lilbourne Lad is now 1 win behind Dream Ahead's 16 wins and 1 win in front of Poet's Voice's 14 wins.
Still a couple of 2-y-o races pending for today, the above mentioned horses were the likeliest winners though.

As posted before, yesterday there were 3 FSS winners in total - 2 for Canford Cliffs and 1 for Lilbourne Lad.
The overall standing between Canford Cliffs and Zoffany is 28 each - so the decision for the FSS championship starts from scratch and will be decided in just over 40 days of 2-y-o racing in UK and/or Ireland up to November, 7th.
Today there are 13 2-y-o races - Goodwood (2), Kempton (4), Naas (3) and Redcar (4) - today's top5-FSS runners are:
Goodwood
2.35 Zoffany Sark 20/1
Kempton
5.20 Canford Cliffs Whitecliff Park 16/1, Poet's Voice Patanjali 16/1
5.55 Canford Cliffs Lulworth 18/1
Naas
3.25 Zoffany Bulgadin Lady 33/1
4.00 Canford Cliffs Bearwood 28/1
5.10 Lilbourne Lad Clon Rocket 12/1
Redcar
2.10 Zoffany Color Model 16/1, Poet's Voice Ae Fananah 11/2F
3.55 Zoffany Mister Zoff 13/2f & Saxon Gold, 16/1, Lilbourne Lad Planetaria 20/1
4.30 Zoffany Man Of La Mancha 11/1, Poet's Voice Beatbybeatbybeat 5/2jf
Another couple of FSS favourites today, I'd say the best chance for a FSS win may come via Beatbybeatbybeat as 5/2jf for Poet's Voice. I don't think Canford Cliffs will provide another winner today. Best chance for Zoffany may come from the 13/2f Mister Zoff, this will be no walk-over though in a field of 20. Mister Zoff's best form in 4 starts was a 4th place last time out. However, he did miss the break there and had no clear run, too, so this may well prove a form to be sufficient to take this weakish race today even though it's such a big field. Trained by Richard Fahey and starting at odds of 13/2f Mister Zoff looks tempting enough for me.

Thanks, Danoli.
No joy with my contribution yesterday, let's try with another couple today.

Cheers gents, I fancy Bathos to win today.
Another interesting one today is at Pontefract for Sir Michael - Yangtze - drifting in the betting and his two main riders at Newmarket and Chelmsford so Tony Hamilton is up on this today. 4th First time out ordinary run but looked like it got the idea in the last two furlongs so no surprise to see the step up. Breeding is Dansili out of Hi Calypso (Group 3 & 2 winner over 14f) so should be a decent horse over further. However this is second foal out of same sire and first one is 0 from 4 as a 3 year old (also with Stoute).
Should be a decent breeding combination but perhaps the reality is it just doesn't work. Prepared to give it a chance each way though at the price it is as find it interesting he has sent it to Ponte on what will probably be a bit of a slog. Maybe will be a late developer, lots of ifs buts and maybe's but worth a dabble in my eyes.

Nice win for Bathos, good start to the day for me anyway! One to follow I think - still improvement to be had in that one.

Notice a bit of money for Yangtze now - into around 6s from 9s.

Once again a bit short for time this morning, should get better from this afternoon.
As PTP already mentioned a nice winner for Poet's Voice, when Bathos won his race by 1 3/4 lengths as the 2/1f. This means that the top2-FSS are unchanged at 28 wins each for Canford Cliffs and Zoffany, behind them the next 3 FSS Dream Ahead, Lilbourne Lad and Poet's Voice all sit level on 16 wins..
Outside the Top5-FSS there was a winner each for Frozen Power - now on 7 wins - and Elusive Pimpernel - now on 5 wins.
Today there are 9 2-y-o races - Dundalk (3), Haydock (3), Newmarket (2) and Wolverhampton (1) - today's top5-FSS runners are:
Dundalk
6.05 Zoffany The Yellow Bus 11/4, Lilbourne Lad Clear Spirit 22/1
6.35 Zoffany Well Caught 2/1
Haydock
2.45 Zoffany Silken Skies 5/1
Wolverhampton
8.15 Dream Ahead Dream Dana 8/1 & He's A Dreamer 11/1, Lilbourne Lad Nokhada 3/1f & Lembit And Butler 10/1
On paper this could be a nice day for Zoffany and thus for BennyB - no Canford Cliffs runner today whilst today's 3 Zoffany runners all have decent chances.
This afternoon I'll put together the preview listing for the weekend. Time should no longer be an issue then.
Besides this, am in a good mood, the autumn examination of my Alhaarth mare gave the expected result, so all under way for a February foal by Dabirsim
Enjoy!

Cheers Danoli, Following this thread has really got me into following the two year olds. I always tended to steer clear of the maiden's as felt like it was more guess work than normal and you never knew what most were doing at home.
Regarding Yangtze - there was plenty of money for it in the end - disappointed with the run. Bit bizarre as can't quite get my head around the ride from Hamilton. Was deliberately kept out the back and then asked to catch up and whilst it kept on coming didn't have the pace to catch up. I think another step up needed but clearly doesn't have the change in gear for those sort of tactics. If stepped up again and kept handy I'd fancy it, but I wouldn't be backing it confidently.
Thanks for your efforts gents, I do read with interest.

That's nice to hear, Ptp.
Yesterday - MENGLI KHAN made a nice debut to finish third at 7/1. I thought TAUTOLOGY (evens) looked the winner approaching the final furlong but he folded tamely, too fast a pace perhaps. The winner of the Ponte race, PERCY STREET, benefitted greatly for his debut run and could well follow up this win.
Today
Newmarket 4.15
CRAZY HORSE (8/1), a newcomer, is a half-brother to Richard Pankhurst, the winner of the Listed Chesham Stakes at Ascot last year.
SIRDAAL (25/1), making his debut, is a half-brother to Mawatheeq (RPR 122) second in the 2009 Champion Stakes, and, Ghanaati (RPR 120) winner of the Group 1 Coronation Stakes.
Wolverhampton 8.15
DREAM DANA (20/1), a debutante, is a Dream Ahead half-sister to a number of useful performers, including Yaa Wayl the winner of a Listed 7f. 3-y-o race at York.

Here's the list of the top5-FSS runners for Saturday and Sunday (apart from the top two 2-y-o races at Newmarket on Saturday the odds are the forecast odds of the Sporting Life racecard by race and thus may not be as accurate as the odds posted in the morning of a raceday):
Saturday - a total of 14 2-y-o races in UK & IRL - Chelmsford (2), Chester (2), Haydock (2), Newmarket (6) and Ripon (2) - runners of top5-FSS are:
Chelmsford
5.45 Canford Cliffs Jassur 12/1
6.15 Zoffany Essenaitch 6/1
Chester
1.55 Canford Cliffs Oceanella 16/1, Dream Ahead Silent Dreamer 6/1
Haydock
2.10 Zoffany Architecture 14/1, Poet's Voice Purple Raven 16/1
2.45 Zoffany Gecko 12/1, Dream Ahead Not Touch 6/1
Newmarket
2.00 Zoffany Foundation 6/4
2.35 Zoffany Illuminate 3/1
5.00 Zoffany Al Shahaniya 7/2 & Light Up Our World 7/1

3.15 Zoffany Dolphin Vista 10/1, Lilbourne Lad Quick N Quirky 14/1
Sunday - a total of 8 2-y-o races in UK & IRL - Curragh (4) Epsom (2) and Musselburgh (2) - runners of top5-FSS are:
Curragh

2.20 Zoffany Pick Of Any 50/1, Poet's Voice Gibson Park 25/1 & Poet's Secret 33/1
Musselburgh

Further runners for Zoffany and some good chances amongst them - I'd guess beginning of next week Zoffany will lead the FSS table by 2-3 wins.
