Good afternoon.
Saturday was not bad for me, as it goes. It was just so good to see Scandinavia win again; particularly as I'd noted him three or four runs before and subsequently followed him. Not only does he have class in spades, he stays, has finishing pace when needed, even over this 14f and showed again that he's as game as the proverbial pebble.
Galeron placed so a tiny profit with him and he confirmed, I think, that even further would suit. I thought the Cambridgeshire might suit but I see he's entered for the Balmoral at Ascot. Mmm... I think Id prefer further than the mile to be honest. I should add that sire Comacho doesn't support a longer trip but, rather, a shorter one so I wouldn't be all that bothered if they dropped to 7f.
No show from Seven Questions but, I tell you, he'll get his head in front before long and he'll be a monster price to do so, I would imagine, so no regrets in selecting that.
Today there's only one bet for me which is:
Chantilly Lace - 3.35 Sandown 5/2 Win
I think this should be favourite, you know and, as such, is reasonable value. That nearest finish run behind Cercene in Gp 1 company looks head and shoulders above these. Yes, favourite Sallaal looks be an improving sort but that's to be proved in this class and I'm more than happy to oppose him here with the already proven CL.
I have a noted NH horse in Step Above (5.00 Kelso) but will do it for farthings as insurance so wouldn't recommend him absolutely.
I am so looking forward to the NH season, I must say. Good to see NH Andy starting his thread.
