A few longshots on what has become quite a heavy betting day - sad, innit, when you eventually migrate to heavy betting from heavy petting - with low enough expectations.

I'll be happy to break even on the day.

Newbury 12.40 - Imperil 33/1 - his French rating is some way higher than when he last raced in this country a few years ago. If the French rating is accurate he is chucked in but the fact is it went up 21lbs in the first half of last calendar year.

Newbury 2.25 - Ballybentragh 40/1 - big rating from his sixth place in the G1 stayers’ novice at Aintree so I have doubts about this step back in trip. They might well be trying to get him handicapped for a decent prize down the line but he’s still worth some each-way sweetie money just in case.

Same race - The Famous Five 22/1 - has drifted this morning to qualify for the thread. The drift is a worry but he was improving last season and could still be well in based on how smart a Flat horse in his youth in France.

Newbury 3.35 - I'd Like To Know 22/1 - has also drifted to qualify, which is a a worry, but he's joint-top on my figures.

Same race - Jetronic 70/1 - overall top-rated on the pick of his form. Also on the drift but that can happen with the Moores.
