Standard hold up ride from jamie, I dont think he's have won but might have got a place under a better jockey.
Small stakes Lucky 31 on these today: 2.40 Haydock Montiridge for the unstoppable Hannon / Hughes partnership. Won on soft ground on his racecourse debut and has also taken a listed heat and a G3 with cut in the ground. 5.40 Stratford Master Dennis - first bumper runner for Dan Skelton and he introduces a son of Fair Mix (sire of Simonsig) out of Rose Alto, who was a grand old servant for James Fanshawe in the early 1990s and won at 10F and 11F. 5.45 Leopardstown Fiesolana - closer in the weights now with Say and would be a great story if she could takes this 6.15 Leopardstown United States - looks rock solid in this and can make the necessary progress 6.50 Leopardstown Kingsbarns - just in case. Joseph can't really get off Declaration Of War so I'm not worried about him not being on Kingsbarns and it would be nice to see him come back after injury.
Sorry Dayo10, got distracted wondering where ROTO was and forgot to put up PW's others: Suraj 3.15 Hay Garswood 3.50 Hay Caponata 5,45 Leop I think Shavansky is a decent price with a plum draw and decent claimer to repeat last year's winning effort in the 2.55 at Kempers.
cheers Drever - they paid out the 3 doubles bets as singles so win/win! Disappointing that Above Standard though .... they seem to think definitely good to soft now which may be bad news for Lethal Force.
Todays fancies (with current oddschecker prices) Ascot Cafe Society 3.30 4/1 Haydock Tawhid 2.40 4/1 Oriental fox 3.15 9/1 [ew] Lethal Force 3.50 3/1 Kempton Simple Magic 4.10 6/1 Leopardstown Kenhope 5.45 4/1 Al Kazeem 6.50 5/2 Good luck all. I will be intrigued to see how Free Eagle goes in Ireland as very highly rated by connections who rarely talk them up. He could be something special.
Well done on Redvers Reebs In the 2.20 at Kempton I think the Godolphin horses have it between them so reverse forecast Royal Empire / Masterstroke
Rubbish from the Hannon horse - seemed to run in snatches, Hughes was alternatively pulling him up then shoving along. Very strange.
Fair enough Ron - can you pick everything except Lethal Force in the Sprint Cup? I'm now officially giving up with Highland Knight, who I will NEVER back again! Ehtihdaam win and Storm King ew next up at the Kempton AW (spits)
Is it just me or does anybody else feel like punching their TV whenever that smarmy git Graham Cunningham appears?
