What are you backing Today? Part 2

Snow Lantern to do what her mother failed narrowly to do in the Falmouth

Dexter Belle 2.40Y looks to have been trained for this, and Danny Tudhope prefers to a 102 rated for the same team.
16/1 4 places Wm Hill.

Been struggling with a migraine today but did tune in to watch (and back) Snow Lantern. I told you she was pretty good!
 
Get in Snow Lantern[emoji41]

I found the one her mum lost to Elusive Kate on YouTube. It hurt at the time and still hurts. I still can’t believe the result wasn’t overturned as the winner carried her into the next county

Well, I was on Elusive Kate that day (100/30 as opposed to 4/7 Sky Lantern) and given Lady Bowthorpe's passage/ride there I think the scales of justice have been balanced.
 
Was there a live ITV race between the 3.00 and 3.35 today?

I ask because I backed Live The Dream (4/1 taken) and didn't get a message about the resultant free bet with B365 and ended up making another bet on Snow Lantern, just in case.

Still no message about a free bet following on from the latter either.

Trying to contact bookies since the pandemic started has not been easy either.
 
Despite being, for me, quite selective about the races I studied this weekend, I'll still be punting loads of horses across the big three cards, and not too many longshots.

Unusually enough, my three main fancies in the Bunbury Cup are in the front five in the betting. I can see me having a go at multiples today with most strong selections under 5/1.

Lots of really good racing.
 
Yes lots.

I have the Summer Mile at Ascot between Top Rank and Tilsit. Backed the latter and have the former in a couple of ew doubles

The July Cup is possibly the race of the year. I took 10s about Dragon Symbol after Ascot. Plenty of dangers obviously and I've had a small bet on Supremacy who is now well under the radar. I don't like Oxted or Starman at the prices so this is a race to really tuck into and hunt the value.

Showalong 3.35 Ascot I backed at York lto and he was a tad disappointing but a stiff 5 is more him optimum. I think he's been supported this morning.

Winter Power should be near enough evens for the 4.40 at York and I have loaded up at 5/2 and 11/4 apost. He will trade much shorter in running whatever happens so a partial lay will be in order

Newmarket throws up a few races that seem fairly straightforward, so I've done a 'Marb' and bet them in singles and an ew Yankee.
2.05 Nebulosa 8/1
2.40 Qaader 9/2
3.50 Peretto 9/2
4.25 Dragon Symbol 11/2 (nap)
 
No need to paraphrase me Reet, I am a real person, haha. :)

I won on a casino two weeks ago, stupidly tryed to put an anti post on for a rainy day type of thing.

The horse was On A Session in the Bunbury Cup. 50 quid each way at 25s the first four places. I'm far from confident, but he's an outside each way chance. A biggish bet for me and I don't want to be accused of after timing in the event he goes close.

I put a horse up called Dark Pine at the Chester meeting when it won. The horse showed a lovely turn of foot that day and after that must be open to further progress. I'd forget the last poor show at Ascot, there's a suspicion the horse needs a left handed track. I thought 20s plus was too big a price in the John Smiths Cup today.


Good luck all.

You must happy about Hukum.

I hope your right about Top Rank.
 
Top Rank should not have finished behind Century Dream with the weight pull from Windsor. It's possible he needs a straight track. Also possibly he's one to avoid.

The Bunbury Cup turned out nicely. I was on Mota at 10/1 early and saved with Fundamental at 15/2. Didn't do the forecast but not going to whinge about that!
 
Platform Nneteen 3.15B hasn't raced for almost 3 years. However, he was progressive up to then, netting a 4-timer in just 8 races, so it appears just a question of his fitness. Considering he's already a C/D winner, and Clifford Lee is 3/5 on the horse, I'm assuming he'll be up for it, today.
I've taken the general 4/1, on that premise.
