Verbal Dexterity 10/1 in the National Stakes on Sunday.

Caravaggio drops back to 5f and its a briefcase job.

The Moyglare looks some race as expected, Obriens 4 and Alpha Centauri, quite surprised that Moore has ditched the Debutante form and Magical, or maybe they are just giving Donnacha a G1.... whatever wins will be a strong fav for the Guineas. Having a small interest on Active Approach e/w at 50/1.

Slightly tempted to do an each-way "Frankel G1 double" with Eminent (5/1) and Queen Kindly (40/1)
 
Haydock 2.25pm

Queen Kindly 40/1 each way. Won the Lowther last season...ran in the 1000 guineas and tried 7 furlongs earlier this season. The signs to me are that she is improving and 6 furlongs is her bag. I think she is primed for this, although the big question is will she handle the ground. I am not sure but at 40s I will take a chance and with 3 year olds having a good record in this race plus the dam finishing runner up in this its all pointing to a big run at a big price.

Ascot 2.45pm

Shady McCoy 14/1 each way 5 places. Horse has been there or therabouts last couple of runs and back down to last winning mark although with the addition of a pretty talented apprentice on board is even better off. Generally runs well at Ascot and I think will handle the cut in the ground so fingers crossed for a big run.

See my post Princess. Not sure whether Queen Kindly will handle the ground but I am hoping so. I think the other Fahey runner Growl could run a big race...

I have Churchill in a double with Eziyra from earlier in the week.

I wouldn't touch Winter even though I can't see anything to take her on with. The vibes seem to suggest she hasn't done anything since York.

I was really impressed with Riyazan when he won at the Curragh. 3/1 looks a decent price.

Machine Learner should haveva good chance in the 4.35. They didn't go gast enough in his last run and the form behind UAE King would give him a great chance against a lot of exposed horses.


I think Suedois is a class above most of the field in the Boomerang.

For my Saturday plunge will take a chance on Sir Michael Stoute's Melting Dew e/w in the 3:55 Ascot. Could well be improving, we'll see. 14/1 in six places at time of writing.
 
Cracking card at ltown,just one wager for me:Winter to win by 2lts+/Sir John Lavery dbl 10/1

Brilliant stuff. Typically from Hayley, she slightly crabs Kirby's ride and makes excuses for the Tin Man. Admit it, lady THE BEST HORSE WON!

EMINENT 6:45 Leopardstown
Great front running performance LTO in France, good time, should enjoy the easier ground. Can slot in behind the pacemaker and run the sting out of Churchill/the rest from 2-3f out. Question remains on whether he can settle well enough to execute plan.
 
Only joint top rated on OR with 2 others a point behind. 7-2 short enough I'd think. Morando is my coin flip :)
 
Just listened to Blower's last spell with TMS. Farewell to a legend and the last link between TMS and my very fond childhood memories of listening to those great commentators describe the action.
