Good Luck <ok>
 
Mori 5/6 with paddys in the galtres. Have gone pretty big, this one wins and will likely go off 1/2 when Enable goes in.

Will form the basis of many a double tomorrow those pair. Works out roughly 11/8 for those interested, it's not a bet I'd be doing myself.
 
Got a nagging feeling that Nezwaah is going to give Enable plenty to think about tomorrow. Form is rock solid and if the step up in trip suits (which it should on breeding) then I'd definitely rather take the 5/6 on Mori than the 1/3 on Enable
 
Also HEY JONESY in the 1.55 C&D winner the form has been franked since with the second and third coming out and winning , he is very unexposed horse and has some good entries so must be a horse held in high regards and should be better than this lot
 
Sharing one I like over the jumps tomorrow.
WHIPCORD 12/1 Fontwell 6:50
This fella has dropped from a fairly lofty mark obtained hurdling for the chubby one but now races off a very feasible 102.
The presence of Noel Fehily in the saddle and first time blinkers also catch the eye.
Supposedly a chasing debutante but did win a point to point not so long ago.
The yard are in fair form and this looks a tasty price.
 
16:50 York - Gheedaa

(Like this William Haggas-trained filly a lot here. On breeding, step-up to 7f would appear perfect, and she will appreciate the better ground than the G/F she has been running on recently. Needs to trap reasonably well however. Best price I could get was only 6/1 unfortunately, believe earlier shows were as much as 10/1).

Frankel his fired in 6 individual Stakes winners so far in August and has the chance of another two today with both MORI and ALJEZEERA in the Galtres Stakes at York and RUBILINDA in the Riskaverse Stakes at Saratoga, if anyone fancies an interesting double.

As an FYI, RUBILINDA was an impressive winner on debut in May at Belmont Park before running a fast finishing second next time out after a shocker of a ride.

This was her debut

The winner of the opening race at York, a class 2 conditions race for 2YOs, will earn £184,350. That's just £15000 less than Altior picked up for his 3 wins in 2017 so far (£28,475 for the Grade 2 Game Spirit Chase, £99,662.50 for the Grade 1 Arkle and £71,187.50 for the Grade 1 Celebration Chase).

Funny old game sometimes ..................................

Saw that Oddy. Also only 15 grand less than what Enable & co will pick up in the Grade 1 Oaks at 3.35!
 
I guess it is good for the second tier of owners below Godolphin, Coolmore etc as they are getting some serious prize money here <ok>
