Red Stripes 2.40 Has an excellent record at Southwell, making the frame on 16 of his 24 visits (incl 6 wins) at the venue.Showed good form in a recent run at Haydock, and Jimmy Quinn travels for the sole ride.
Solid ew at 18/1(4 places) with Hills.

Tracker horse out tomorrow, Chelmsford 7.50 - Nature Lover. I've taken 5/2 in case it ends up overtaking the Hamdan runner at the head of the market. I hate putting up short shots but I think this one will leave its debut run miles behind. Then again, a few of the others could also leave previous form miles behind.
 
Rhoscolyn3.00 Nc led all the way, and dotted up in a strongly run 7f Haydock novice, then disappointed in a much better race at York (raced around ouside , then eased when winner baulked him. RP analyst described him as 'a nursery type' after Haydock, but his gp2 Beresford Stakes entry paints a completely different picture. Expect him to run this modest field into the ground over the stiff 1m and have backed him accordingly.
11/4 in places, but don't see it lasting.
 
Good luck

4.00 Southwell-American Craftsman

Each Way @ 18-1 [Bet 365]

Not a bad run on seasonal debut

Spring Of Love won a decent Newmarket maiden on her debut last season, and her trainer said she'd be put away for a Guineas trial this season. Never made that gig, reappearing in a Haydock listed at the end of June. Clearly 2nd string, she clipped heels early and wasn't persevered with after. Obviously well thought of, she's dropped in trip today, and she's well drawn(CP take note:)) to be up with the likely strong pace and could prove a street ahead of her opposition.
Taken the 8/1 to find out.

Out to 7/2 across the board which might be ominous but I've bitten the bullet and gone in again this time with the BOG (which I don't think I got last night) just in case it defies the drift which can happen with some Godolphins. Hopeful now rather than confident.
 
Strange. Went out to 4/1 just after I posted the above but was shortened up late into 9/4 but capitulated early and was pulled up and dismounted. We'll see what comments emerge.

Sickness insurance beckons.
 
Ascot 4.50 Gin Palace - Must have a good chance. Sticking it in a patent with Danzan (Haydock 3.20) and a third one I haven't picked yet.
 
I'm gonna chance Mia Mento in the 5.20 at Ascot. This horse has a tendency to leave the stalls slowly and then flash home over 6f and I reckon Ascot's stiffer finish will suit him. 5 places 14s
 
A horse DO mentioned for the St Wilfred, Hyperfocus just won at Haydock. Beating my fancy and stablemate Danzan in the process! I hope someone backed Hyperfocus.

Not me. I've been too busy sorting out tomorrow's cards. I couldn't even have told you it was running.

As you say, though, I do hope somebody remembered it and got on.
 
Yes, a lot of action tomorrow, I can see why you started studying early.

There's only really one horse I want to give a good shout. Calling The Wind (Haydock 2.50) in the Old Borough Cup looks really interesting as he was second to Sky Defender a few runs ago who has franked the form well since.

Calling The Wind has only actually been seen twice on turf, with one of those runs being his last win against Rajinsky. I think he was quite impressive that day against Rajinsky. You'd hope he has been doing well at home since, and in what is a massively open race, Calling The Wind might just be heading into this race with a bit in hand over his official mark. I can see him out running odds of 20/1 for sure.

Now that Dream of Dreams has drifted to 10/3 I think he's worth an interest in the Sprint Cup. Not a big bet though, I've doubled him with Siskin tomorrow.

Accidental Agent is off a big mark today but obv it's his favourite track and 20/1 for 5 places is very acceptable.
 
Gulliver 3.40A was a narrowly beaten 2nd in a classy Curragh handicap when not quite lasting home over 6.5f on similar ground to today. Well drawn in that contest, he's pulled out another plum today, and looks a good ew punt to go one better.
12/1 Hills & b365.
Not much pace in the 2.30 @ Ascot, but Pretty In Grey has shown she can quicken in steadily run 7f contests, yet today's stiff 1m should suit he admirably.
5/1 generally.
 
Two cracking handicaps at Stratford today
4.10 Shoal Bay can win this from the front if jumping a bit better than last time out. Tizzard stable in fine form now and that wasn’t the case then.

4.45 Valentino Dancer should outrun his odds here. A decent 3rd behind Brandon Castle last time out beaten 6l in receipt of just 1lb. That one’s now rated 140 and the selection races off 124 today with the rider taking a useful 3lb off. 16/1 looks decent value

I should say, having followed Rajinsky the last two or three times, that I thought at the respective prices, having beaten Rajinsky, that Calling The Wind is good each way value today.

It also dawned on me that perhaps Rajinsky had an extremely hard race the last day, and it will be a really gutsy display to win today after York. His second to that Mark Johnston horse looked like a brutal dual. I will be very impressed if Rajinsky can put in a similar performance.

I'll put this one down (or up) before I forget.

Tuesday

Newton Abbot

2.40 Some Chaos is a very interesting horse to be running in a handicap hurdle. He showed excellent chase form between 2018/2019 but the last jumps season he didn't do a lot, in fact it appeared he went backwards.

Having had three runs in novice hurdles I am keen to support Some Chaos in a handicap hurdle off an opening mark of 120. He ran okay in those novice hurdles, and I guess I feel it's case of 'form is temporary, class is permament'. We'll see how he's priced if he runs on Tuesday. I am hoping as many stand their ground as possible, to at least ensure Some Chaos is a fair price.
