    15:50 Navan - Delta e/w

    Class-1 Listed Stakes for 3YO's only, over1m5f on good ground.

    This Kitten's Joy colt has a squeak in this competitive event. On breeding should certainly stay the distance. An improving type too and should run well for connections. Wears tongue-strap as in previous runs. Declan McDonogh rides for the J. P. O'Brien stable.

    11/2 best price in most places on the ATR site, at time of writing.

    On a literal reading of the Sandown form Tamfana should finish 3/4 length ahead of Dancing Gemini, I'd buy that. The problem then becomes the two Guineas winners. They both have queries about them. Natural Speech looked a very good horse on 2000G day but hasn't looked as good since. I'm a huge Rosailon fan and would normally go for him but he's been off since Royal Ascot: and not straightforward setbacks.
    So at 6-1 I think Tamfana is a terrific EW bet and it woyldn't surprise me if she wins.

    I'd be putting a tongue tie on Rosallion

    Really enjoyed watching that race, proper milers going at it. Thought Rosallion ran a belter given he didn’t look straightforward during the run. Hope they can keep him fit.

    Didn't realise it was overwatered at Sandown. That was about 20lb turn round of form. When Rossa pressed the button there wasn't much there.
    Softer ground and perhaps 10f will suit the filly.

    Certainly worth giving the filly another chance if turning up on softer ground.

    I just had to check why I didn't jump on Calmers in the 3.50 Navan. Then I noticed in last place was Butterfly Wings, which was the one that made me give the race a miss. Got that rather wrong <doh>

    Banker bet wins at last, but a bit too close for comfort, although I think he had a bit in hand. Time not impressive when compared with the Class 3 handicap 30 mins later
