Geological tomorrow in the 415 at Leopardstown for me at 20s
Won this race last year off a slightly higher mark and the Trainer is in decent form.
 
What a day‘s Racing with 3 glorious bumpers to get stuck into. I’m sure Stick will be giving us the winners later on but my 3 picks are:

Southwell Global Rhapsody
Ludlow Alph
Plumpton El Hageb Rose
 
Hopefully Geological will finally get back to winning ways at a stonking 20/1 in the 4 15 Leopardstown, been waiting nearly a year now <laugh>

Also 3 15 Longchamp Ellthea 33/1, i'd love to know why she is 33/1, very smart form at 2 years old, beat Sizzling by a few lengths and only finished beating 4 lengths by Laurens on her last start, tough task on reappearence but Karl Burke doesn't usually send them over to France for nothing and has had a lot of success with the ones he has sent over. Definitely worth a bet, as if fresh and good to go then should beat all of these tbh
 
Ludlow 2.00 fair mountain
Ludlow 3.05 just a feeling

Both skeltons pays 5/1 the double.

Good luck if have a go today.

Bararocco
Back On The Lash
Harrier

all on breeding alone

Back On The Lash is the sort that would be earmarked by me if I was going to the sales with deep pockets.

I was quite close to having a leg in Honeyballs horse Represented so I wont mind seeing that one perform well under its penalty.
 
It is hard to see any grounds for opposing the home team at ParisLongchamp this afternoon.

Wild Illusion hardly advertised the Prix Marcel Boussac form with fourth in the 1000 Guineas but the runner-up that day, Freddie Head’s POLYDREAM, comes straight to the Pouliches (3:15) with arguably the best form and should go close if she has trained on. Naturally, that makes her favourite in the British bookies’ markets, ahead of the unbeaten Barkaa and Musis Amica. Looking at the field, there is little top draw juvenile form being brought into the first renewal at the new course and it is hard to fancy Ballydoyle raider Could It Be Love on a Dundalk maiden win.

It is very hard to make a case for U S Navy Flag in the Poulains (2:35) after his miserable debut performance and it would not be a surprise to see him drop back to sprinting if he flops today. I note he holds an entry in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. It is hard to make a case for Hey Gaman, representing the devalued British trials form. OLMEDO comes here having been touched off over course and distance in the Prix Fontainebleau (one of the key French trials) by Wootton but can reverse that form for Jean Claude Rouget.

Doubtless at Leopardstown all eyes will be on Magical in the 1000 Guineas Trial and Ballydoyle also has the first three in the betting for the Derby Trial.

Penny for your thoughts QM on Karl Burkes runner Elthaa in the 1000 ? As looks the best form on paper
