I am more confident than The Don and Michael to be honest Gaz. He was a tad disappointing at Windsor but coming off a break I think we shouldn't have expected too much. He will be ridden very differently tomorrow than he was the last day. I think he will come on a bundle from Windsor and I believe he has a very fair mark to be starting off life in handicaps. Michael thinks he is still a big baby but his recent work with a mid 70's 4yo suggests to me that he has a reasonable chance tomorrow. I am on my honeymoon in Spain and they tend to win when I am not there!
If Buzz is definitely fit and trying Stick I would say you have a decent each way shout. Blushes looks the winner to me but is by no means nailed on, and there just looks so little in the race that you would not need too much luck to find yourself in the first three in the final furlong and see who goes for the line best. It's one of those races in which it's easier to make a case for a horse not winning than doing so. Good luck and I hope he gives you something to celebrate whilst on your holidays.
A good result today with an easy winner and very unlucky selection, it really is perfect punting time at present with lots of meetings to choose from and better ground in most places. Windsor 6.30 Jule in the Crown 5-2 This selection ran a bit below expectations at Ascot last week but seemed to be getting the hang of things towards the end. There is a huge move for a Dickie Hughes newcomer in this race but I am going against it as it will need be what they think and a bit more to take this, as this is not a weak maiden with the selction plus his old boss's horse Tiggylicious in the race. 8.30 Udontdoyou 7-4 Banker and strong bet. This horse scooted up by 7 lengths on it's seasonal debut and is better than these, watch out for it in big races later on in the season. Leicester 7.40 Mazzini 9-2 A touch risky on account of a hot favourite in the field but I think this selection will strip fitter for a soft ground third against two good prospects, and this may give him the edge over the first time out fav. The selection is Group one entered and James Fanshawe who I like very much does not waste entries for the fun of it. If it doesn't win it will only come second to the favourite in my book. I have backed it to win and a small forecast reversed with the fav. Best result is a win and 1-2 but should only fav beat us into second it should cover cost or even yield a small profit depending on starting prices.
We've beaten 2 better sides than them in the previous 2 rounds, I'd say the Germans were the best in it by a bit actually. It is a final of course and as we know anything can happen in them. Definitely not frightened of them, Klopp seems to have the knack of sending us out fired up for these European nights.
