2 today at Newcastle

Shades of Silk

Talent Scout

stay frosty

 

Two lovely juveniles making their debuts;
ALKHAYYAM Newbury 2:20
ALRABIAN OASIS Newmarket 6:30

 

Sorry heis talent scout looks a good bet but I have to go with the 16s Ew on illustrious prince the ground may well play a part so with the big price I'm willing to take a chance

 

Western Hymn - should be favourite, backed him at 5/2 and fully expect to collect 2.50 Deauville

 

value there craker but iv been waiting for this one, the Tuttys have been waiting to slot this one in and today is the day (i hope)

 

Western Hymn for me too. I think Prince Gibralter isn't as good a horse as he is made out to be and i think the tactics of this race will play right into Buick's hands. Both are going to be held up and played late. Western Hymn has arguably the best turn of foot out of any horse in training (Kingman aside) and i can see him sweeping past prince gibralter to win this fairly comfortably.

 

On breeding only, Cracker, your choice would prefer faster ground for this one. Sire Acclamation, and damsire Barathea, were both fast ground exponents, without a doubt. Doesn't always follow though, so good luck to you with this e/w bet.

Weather at last a bit better, so off out for a 'trek' now!

 

Gone with Uncle with Illustrious Prince. 20's with most firms.

 

Really fancied hazza to go well in the last but as of nr I am siding with my second choice ARMELLA 9S available has ran twice previously with claimer Mathew Hopkins onboard , both of those runs a furlong further and Matthew has led from start to inside the last when running out of steam ! So this drop back and the very low weight could well play in his advantage. Today could well be the day the claimer opens his win account .

 

Brilliant uncle -superb race reading -you put the professionals to shame!

 

CHEERS Rudebwoy

 

Well done Uncle. Led all the way and just held on by a nk

 

Regal Parade just gone in at Newmarket, fantastic to see at the age of 10, what a horse he has been.

 

Shout to stick for flagging up Arabian beauty -last week I said Chris wall was out of form -he's done nothing but win since!

Maybe should try that with some other stables....

 

Over the moon for the claimer Ron getting the win , plus a nice shrewd move from the trainer making it happen .
Congratulations Mr Hopkins

 

Like the look of NAGAMBIE in the next. Johnston makes a habit of winning this race with a 3yo!

 

I hope so Stick a sI have just backed it, not so worried about the Hills horse but the Burke horse looks fancied.

 

Not this year.....that was ****e

 

Hugo Palmer is having a very good season isn't he. Hope he doesn't do an Olly Stevens next year!
