+107.6 carried over into yesterday.
A typically tough, exciting, disappointing, and emotional first day in equal measures.
No positive returns. But Search For Glory looked way too big for the Ultima and gave a few seconds of "he can't, can he" before the mistake, and the strong run from Lucinda's King Of Answers, both indicate the big winner is there to be had. Handstands was super disappointing, never turned up. Or is he just not as good as first believed?? Don't believe that.
So it was a -6 for Festival bets.
But then...what's this??...

Couldn't split the chances of Woolridge and Toomuchforme in the 6.45 Southwell.
Woolridge coming over from Andy Oliver, I assume Andy didn't think he could do much with The Ridge in Ireland. Scott Dixon will do something here! Missed the break, but made up a fair amount without getting near the leaders. Another day.
Which left the way open for Toomuchforme to do the business at 33-1.
Later on, Wingstar ran an improved race to get 4th in the 40s.
All round it was -7, with a +33 thrown in.
Running total +133.6.

Into Weds...
Special Cadeau looks nice for the Grand Annual up at around the current 80-90s or so. Can (hopefully) see a big run coming.
Lucky Place looks most interesting for the BetMGM Cup at current prices, though I'd have liked to have seen nearer 33s and 40 upwards. There's still time. Won't be surprised to see Kateira float round, but neither will anybody else! Not least the Skeltons! They'll be expecting to take the County with Tellherthename, so this could be a middle leg of a big treble.
Four to watch in the Turners with an aim to be winning big handicaps next year include Soldier Reeves (thought several times he wants to go up in distance, this should be too tough, but maybe pace will draw him in to the first 5 or 6), Taurus Bay, Walks In June, and Zeus Power.
Elsewhere...
Forerunner 145 Happy Debatable whether the step down to 6f will work
Fallon/Mighty Strength 2.50 Happy Only a matter of time till Fallon does a last to first again, think today's race might be a little too tough.
Eternity Rose 2.58 Huntingdon Unlikely first time over hurdles, but one to watch.
Vingt Sept 3.49 Lyon
Roi Du Ciel 5.10 Lyon
Lillistar 5.30 Newc Will need to be well into the 30s, don't expect to get it.
Gorey Gold 5.40 Southwell Out of a hot Newcastle Class 2, could walk this.
Belling The Cat/Evelyns Garden 7.00 Newc
Queen For Adaay 7.15 South
Tomorrow Day/Golden Prosperity 8.00 Newc
