The (15:25) at Wolverhampton, a Class-5 Fillies' Handicap over an extended 1m1f on the Tapeta surface, gives the fairly unexposed Night Of Thunder filly, Noble Sovereign, a decent chance of a good run. Hollie Doyle is on board for the David Loughnane yard. 5/1 (Bet365/Unibet) best early-doors price on ATR at time of writing. E/W best option in this event.
Wondered where the top-class French jockey, Mickael Barzalona, had got to. However, see he has 7-rides at Meydan, Dubai, today. Many of his mounts have little chance, but he certainly should win the last race on Mount Tambora, the odds-on favourite. Loads of well-known jockeys from the UK and Ireland are over there too.
Siding with Johnny James EW in the 14.15W today 8/1. Doesn't need to improve a huge amount to be in the shake up.
About a week ago I sent a very short email to Godolphin regarding the status of its retained jockeys. In the old days Godolphin were really good in answering emails with informative and helpful replies. A bit different nowadays. The reply I got was from their Darley Stud, who gave me full information on sending a mare to the stud! I only have the one mare, and was quickly advised that she had no interest whatsoever in being sent to the Darley Stud. Thank the good Lord for that.
Well done. I'm glad I left that race alone. I almost dutched and that would have been down the pan with neither of them getting placed
Was going so easy in behind I thought Rowan had blew it but timed it just right on the line...I'm not sure that was the plan though
