Tomorrow in the Hungerford I'm staying faithful to Motakhayyel. I still can't get his Bunbury Cup win out of my head and if he had come straight here from Newmarket he'd be 2/1 tops. That disappointing run at Ascot is responsible for his price (I took 11/2 earlier) but I refuse to accept that he ran his race that day. Maybe the track is just too testing for him but maybe he just needed more than a fortnight's recovery time. (Bounce theorists say to ignore subsequent runs when assessing recovery time from a big effort. The ideal is 6 weeks but Mota has followed up after 4 weeks before so I think his price is very generous.)

In the GSW I'm on two so far and will add another longshot in the morning. The two are Soldier's Minute (14/1, 7pl) and Brad The Brief (25/1), which I'll go into on the Longshot thread.
