    Helamis 4/1 Lingfield 4:05 - Looks to have been given a fair chance eased in grade here, expect a bold showing.

    Elsewhere it looks an appealing day at York and a potential mouth watering clash between Toronado and Al Kazeem where i will not be betting but just a watching brief.

    It will be interesting to see Telescope perform and see if he can put his last run right and get a win for himself here today, I think he
    will personally stating the obvious.

    Quite fancy Above Standard 7/1 in the York opener and will have a small bet each way just to err on the safe side.

    Goodluck to all for the day.

    Agree on the nap, ran like an absolute pig on debut and still beat some useful horses.

    Mendacious Harpy goes today on AW at Lingfield, I will chance a few quid on her

    Nothing Original from me at York. The Grey Gatsby, Telescope, Toronado

    First Flight in the Acomb for me. Missed the break by about ten lengths on debut and still won easily by three lengths. The Grey Gatsby will have come on for his last run but he was so green on debut i still think he might be too green to do himself justice again here. Pretty confident selection of First Flight for me.

    The Gray Gatsby
    Foundry
    Toronado

    Trixie for me today and a large single on Toronado. Iv been on Al Kazeem each of his wins this year and theres no denying hes the current top older horse in the division, but i cant help but feel that form just isnt quite good enough. Hughes is adamant that Toronado will stay 1m2f and given how strongly he travels i wouldnt put this past him. Will no doubt be a similar run to LTO and try bring him as late as possible down the outside.

    Well done the Bogart supporters. I had a last second flutter on Goldream but 2nd is no use with a win bet!

    I remarkably managed to pick the winner of a 5 furlong sprint handicap...not that i bet on it mind. I now fully expect my two actual bets for today, First Flight and Al Kazeem, to go and lose <laugh>

    Bogart holds a Group One entry in the Haydock Park Sprint Cup, a tip in itself. Was well backed too.

    Keep the faith!

    That said, I'm opposing both, so I hope you are correct <laugh>

    Certainly was well done. A lot of burnt fingers after Above Standards gamble bid failed dramatically.

    Poor race the Acomb...no superstars there but a hell of a boost for the Shifting Power form.

    Well done on Bogart lads, no mean feat picking the winner of that but obviously lopping his tackle off has done the trick.
