Good Luck

 

The Cambridgeshire is the usual affair in recent times with several horses in single figures when really it should be 10/1 the field. It will probably get worse as bookies shorten them up as the race approaches. The Ayr Gold Cup had an over-round of nearly 150% so getting early odds is necessary.

I've gone for 40/1 shot MR SWIVELL who has won three races for new trainer K P De Foy this season. He has only had one poor run and that was over 10F at Windsor when 8th.

Low numbers dominated last year with Liberty Lane winning from box 4. MR SWIVELL is in trap 2 and comes here after finishing second last time. I would rather have a fun bet at a price than one of the shorter ones. First five places each-way at 40/1 but you can get 7 places if willing to take 25/1

In the Cheveley Park I thought BEAUTIFY ran well last time and would be suited by the drop to 6F after her Moyglare effort over 7F. She is 4/1 and made more appeal than True Love who has had five starts already.

In the Royal Lodge DAYTONA looks appealing at 6/1. Beaten at odds-on in France last time where I thought he was a silly price dropping to 7F,I think he will enjoy being back at a mile. Bow Echo did me a favour last time but he's a small colt and he's a bit skinny this time.

The Middle Park is littered with a history of winners failing in the Guineas after being prominent in the betting. Last year's winner Shadow Of Light went on to win the Dewhurst but hasn't seemed to train on this season despite being third in the Guineas. Wise Approach is a warm order this year but I was a wee bit disappointed with him a couple of times. At a price I fancied HILITANY who has won his last two. He sluiced home last time albeit in lower company but he carried a 7 lb penalty and won by 5 and a half lengths. At 12/1 I thought him worth a punt as some of these sprints throw up funny results and you won't get rich backing Wise Approach unless you remortgage the house.

Good luck.
