Roly Poly 6/1 Newmarket 2:55 - Interesting tactically this one, I'm sure Lady Aurelia will take the lead and try burn the field off by the 2 pole. Hopefully Ryan will have Roly in close contention and can outlast the American home. This race could set up nicely for Queen Kindly but i will take Roly Poly at the prices to win. Has a mountain to find on RA form with LA but this is a furlong further and with a few months extra on the back.

I was all over Lady Aurelia at Ascot, but have to take her on tomorrow at HQ. And although I respect Roly Poly's chances, I feel that Queen Kindly will beat them both. I'm nervous that she is a Frank mount, but he always does ride her and agree with STH that the race should pan out just the way that both horse and jockey would want it to.

In the 2.20 JRL I am confident that Bay of Poets will prove the value bet here .. 11-2 available now. Take it!
 
Saturday bet will be a small e/w on Very Talented in the Cambridgeshire cavalry charge (4:10). Hopefully, will give young Denmark-born Kevin Stott a big handicap winner. (Best price a short time ago was 18/1 with Corals, now into 14/1 with them).

Two for me in the Cambridgeshire first up knight owl, been tipped by newsboy in the mirror and agree with his review. Won over cd in the spring and lightly raced and claimer on board the other is Bastille day for Ellsworth bottom of the handicap, claimer on board and a good draw.
On yesterday, I don't know what to think of squires performance, it was poor. The winner was bottom of the handicap from a low draw.what about cougar mountain, I could kick myself sometimes, every spring and autumn he turns up at HQ with unfancied horses and walks off with the prize, doh!!! So o'brien through the card.
Cheers
 
fiendish today people ---the race that Fujearia Bridge ran in Newmarket has worked out like a punters dream -virtually every horse winning next time -today it's this fellow's chance to confirm 7/2 seems fair

Morning, morning. Excellent sport today at Newmarket, but if my regular readers will allow it I'll nominate one 'ooooooooooooooooop' at Haydock Park, trained by old boy Rog Varian.

CORINTHIAN (5.40 Haydock Park) – what a lovely name for a colt by the way. It immediately conjures up images of Sam Waley-Cohen the forum’s favorite Corinthian. And if this one performs like Sam W-C rides then I’m sure everyone, and I do mean everyone, will agree that there can only be one outcome. Corinthian, the horse, didn’t make his racecourse bow until May of his 3YO term but made up for lost time by winning his maiden at this course. on that occasion He then stepped up on that to run an excellent head second to Mr Ponsonby’s Scarlett Dragon (this one has subsequently won twice since). Returning to the track, after a 3 month break, Corinthian does look very, very, very well perched on 89 – the animal who beat him so narrowly, when Corinthian was giving him 6 lbs last time, is now on 103! He should also relish the step up to 14 furlongs and you do have to suspect that long term Corinthian is going to be much better than an 89 rated performer.

Good luck all.

The main issue in the Cheveley Park Stakes appears to be will the speedball Lady Aurelia last that sixth furlong? Punters got their fingers burned and their wallets emptied by Fair Eva in the Rockfel – will they be licking their wounds again? The York form of Queen Kindly took a knock, her trainer thinks she is the best he has had but can she stay with Wesley Ward’s filly?

Earlier in the season, a friend gave me six two year olds to follow and I have not had a penny on any of them: Martyn Meade’s Eminent was one! This afternoon, another of them, Blue Point, lines up as favourite for the Middle Park – let’s be honest, because Caravaggio is absent – and has every chance of Group 1 success. No doubt that the one to beat is soon-to-be-retired Mehmas, if the stiff six is not his undoing. At the odds, I still won’t be backing Blue Point.

Good luck if you are punting the Cambridgeshire – I am just watching!

Is Von Blucher finally going to get his head in front in the lucky last? If you have followed him since his last win, he has been expensive. I have opposed him twice and not found the winner either time, so I will just give the race a miss.

Waiting to see if the rain arrives at Haydock before considering anything there, as it tends to go soft quickly.

Was faced with a similar endurance effort earlier in the week Gaz but managed to convince the Mrs to go and watch it with her girlfriends. To be fair she didn't take much convincing. I'm a miserable bastard at the best of times. I've had a look at that cavalry charge at Newmarket and narrowed it down to about 20 so I'm joining QM in the watching brief. Princeton Royale, Market Rasen 3.10 won recently at Cartmel over a similar trip and broke a 20 year track record. This is a tougher contest but I'll chance my arm @ 16s ew. Good luck all.

Just a small Canadian:

2:20 Bay Of Poets
2.45 The Jean Genie
2.55 Queen Kindly
3.20 Barney Roy
4.10 Stipulate
 
Recommended bet at Haydock 5.05
Memories Galore £25.00EW @ 12/1 William Hill & others.
Progressive and off a decent mark. Should go very close for Jim Crowley.

That first winner looked very useful. By Dansili out of a mare called Rumoush who is a half-sister to Ghanaati and was fancied for the 2010 Oaks but was done by Snow Fairy. They are talking about the 1000G but what about the Oaks? The Height of fashion family again.
 
Good ride from Doyle in the 2nd.

They're talking about this horse being a Derby horse but I don't see it. Though he's by Azamour out of a High Chaparall I feel he may be a maximum 10f horse. Traces back to a filly called Boswellia who must just about have been John Oxley's last winner. But the class isn't there I don't think.
