JIGS PRINCESS 5/1 Catterick 4:30 Well handicapped I reckon and has a jockey on board who is going places. The yard is in rude health and I think he should/will be half those odds.
Morning 6.00 Catterick-Uncle Charlie Each Way @ 16-1 [Skybet] 4 places Booking of Hollie Doyle is of interest
You don't often see 3 of Frankel's children lining up together with 10 races and 0 victories between them, but that's what you get in the 12.45 at Yarmouth. I think they will make it 11 today.
Home for half past at Yarmouth second run after a wind op little move in the market hot trainer and jockey just amateur observations I had a little ew
Think you are probably right LG, Frankel's offspring have been a little disappointing this year, for me he has only one with a chance at group level (Highest Ground) hope i'm proven wrong.
The 4.20 Yarmouth won't take a lot of winning as all the runners are maidens. The Gosden horse is favourite but he wouldn't be one of the usual strong fare that come through the trainer's hands. Looking through them I liked the profile of Anglo Saxson. He did start in Handicap's off 75 but perhaps that was just a bit high for him. Up against an odds-on favourite from the Varian yard last time off 72 in a class 4 at Bath, this is an easier grade with no previous winners in the field. He is dropped another 2lbs to 70 now and he should be thereabouts in class 5 company. 4.20 Yar Anglo Saxson 10/3
Went off at 2/1 and although always thereabouts never really going like a winner. Really annoying as come race time I was convinced that it was a case of feet up and watch it happen.
The 6.15 Naas looks a bit like a match. The choice is between Forever In Dreams and Millisle. The older filly was a good third in the Champion Sprint last season but the going was heavy that day. Not the most consistent, her other good run was a second in the Commonwealth Cup behind Advertise. Her recent 2nd to Speak In Colours is perhaps not as strong as might look at first sight. I went with Millisle. I felt she was in the wrong race in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket and she patently isn't a miler. A better effort next time out in this year's Commonwealth Cup but not back to last season's heights. More like it behind Art Power, although not a real threat, she faced one of the most up and coming horses in the game that day. This looks a better opportunity and if she has trained on to something like her best she must go close here. 6.15 Naas Millisle 2/1
Only 9th...but got an interesting ride from Doyle who said the horse "ran too free"! Put in your Tracker
Dawn Patrol was pretty hard ridden and driven out to win a maiden at 1/8 Fav tonight. Previously 3rd in the Irish Derby, I had suggested he was overrated for that run. On official ratings he had 25 lbs in hand of the runner up, on 107 to 82. It didn't look like that and arguably the runner-up was going a shade better at one stage. The third home was a 61 rated horse with the Racing Post and if they are going to give Dawn Patrol anywhere near his 107, they will have to award ridiculous ratings to the 2nd and 3rd.
Impressive from Millisle tonight, the race was over pretty quickly when she took it up. Forever In Dreams had an off night but that seems to be the sort of filly she is. 9/4 Millisle was a good enough return and she should win more races now that they have come away from the silly notion of her as a Guineas filly over a mile.
