Noble wins ...dubai 3rd !!...Great runs

Wokingham ROHAAN 12/1 e/w won nicely last year a few lbs lower this time should go really well again with Moore booked Very decent e/w for me. APOLLO ONE 40/1 e/w is for me the most interesting runner in the field and looks massively overpriced to me. was just beat in a decent 3yo race at Newmarket last year by Blackrod who has beaten my horse again since then but is back on firmer ground now has dropped a few lbs has an apprentice on top who is in red hot form 7 winners from just 18 rides in the last week or so i really fancy this horse to go very well today 40's 7places bog will do for me. So its two strong bets for me in this race today. A small e/w on CEPHALUS 14/1 3.52 NM had been running and winning on the AW not so good on turf but interesting jockey booking today worth a small e/w play for me. Some cracking winners on ATR this week lets keep it going . Good Luck All

The riddler was my lucky highlight of week saved my bacon ?

I rarely do well in the two main hype festivals but I've enjoyed the racing as always & made a few bob never a bad thing I'd say NATURE STRIP & INSPIRAL the 2 stand out horses last 5 days ?

Cephalus NR Appolo one 8th but Rohaan what a horse what a ride what a price 18/1.....its Beer o'clock cheers

Just the one winner but four places for a tiny profit of 0.6 points on the day. A total profit over the five days of just over 6 points. Hope everyone's found a winner or two today.

Frankies Fire is out again at Perth this afternoon and she has to be backed again. That Hexham race last time was run in a crawl and the jockey seemed to get caught out by that. She was staying on well at the end after getting outpaced and the time of the race was so much slower than the rest of the card. I'd be surprised given the bigger field if they didn't go a stronger pace here and this is a really weak contest. There are so many who it is hard to make any sort of case for and we know she has the potential to be well handicapped if things go her way. Young William is shorter than her in the betting and has to carry 1st8lbs more yet if this was a point he would be a massive price to beat her on these terms. I don't trust the form of his 3rd last time and I suspect Pammi will reverse form. She looks the most obvious danger as her record at Perth is very good and I don't think the way the race was run last time would have suited. That run was a very rare time where she was out of the first 3 at the track. Amazingly some bookies are going 4 places so I am happy to have a decent bet e/w on her. I know she's becoming a cliff horse, but clearly connections think she can win given they are carrying on racing her so hopefully she can get that win. Frankies Fire e/w @ 13/2 with Bet365, Skybet and Coral (4 places)

Thanks to everyone for all your ratings and tips, it's been a great Saturday.

well as a First Folio syndicate member im over the moon with that 6th place only 3.5 lengths behind winner and a head off 5th place, be interesting to see what James Ferguson does next with him delighted is an understatement

Incredible run .... my pop master was 2nd ??

Its not a long time in horseracing befote everybody makes a complete fool of himself and.my hopes for Mick Channon's Legend of Xanadu proved totally misplaced. But the stunning win of the unraced "carthorse" HOLLOWAY BOY was amazing. I just do not recall a 2-y-o look like it before. It could be a one race 'miracle' but if the colt ever does start looking like a racehorse it could be unbeatable. The second on the other hand ,PEARLING PATH, looked magnificent. 40-1, 80-1 33-1 it just shows how little we know. Both colts must go straight into our ATR tracketd

He's quite low down but that's probably due to top weight and poor recent run .....but he's well hcapped and Ryan Moore on board and has been heavily backed this week so maybe they've had this quietly planned .....definately feasible

A low scoring day with the highest priced winner at Ascot being 11/2. @calva decoypicked the first 3 winners to take the daily prize. @Offrampbecomes the overall leader.

Well done to @Cash Out Kevand @LeMalewho found 40/1 winner Holloway Boy. It was still not enough to take the daily prize, this goes to @Tipsterixwho selected 33/1 and 10/1 winners to take the prize and finish overall 3rd. Congratulations to @RUGwho had another profitable day to take the overall competition. Well done to @Offrampwho finishes 2nd. Could the prize winners please PM pay-pal details. See you at Goodwood !

Few places, annoyed never went with rohaan, and creative force was pipped on the line. Poor ascot tbh for me.

Going not bad at the moment, but long way to go. Got a few in the mix so have a chance.

Well done @Cash Out Kev& @LeMale with Holloway Boy in the 1st ?? ?

I don't know why Krajinovic is 4/1 today at queens club. He's playing well, confidently, and really enjoying himself on the grass for the first time in his career. He hasn't made any waves in a long time, and it looks like he's getting a bit of support in the crowd here also. I see Cilic as a frontrunner, but if he gets down in the match.. Krajinovic can be steady from the back of the court. I have Krajinovic lined @+250 maximum, and think this is just an inflated price. *Also, don't be surprised if you see a really motivated player who is seeking his first final on outdoor court other than clay, and in search of his first Atp title, which seems possible in my mind.

After two day's play. Collin Morikawa going best on here for @fd1972uk so fingers crossed he can keep up the excellent form going forwards. I don't want to put the mockers on him, though I do find Morikawa a very in and out player, especially in regards to his putting, the good thing is when he is 'in' he is a very formidable player. In fact, just thinking out aloud he is following a similar form line to Brooks Koepka a few years ago in that when the Majors and big events turn up, Mr Morikawa generally ups his game to the occasion. Plenty of other quality players in contention, Scheffler, Rahm, McIlroy, Burns to name a few mentioned on here. Surprised missed cuts for me have to be Cameron Smith and Viktor Hovland. Two top quality players who missed it by quite a few shots. I can forgive Cameron Young from my squad more so as he just missed the cut by a shot and is still only in his first season playing at the very top level. Anyway, less of my ramblings lol. Let's see how the action all continues to play out.

I think you're referring to @amity there @money44. I made some comments about Kudla but nothing specifically about Berrettini, but no matter. I can see what you mean about Berrettini as a 'freight train' on grass because when his serve plus one is clicking he's almost impossible to break and that's obviously a very strong foundation from which to win matches on grass.

6.10 Ascot - Latin Lover 12/1 eway bet365 .

Ascot 2.30 Today’s card kicks off with the 7F Chesham Stakes, a listed contest for two year olds. We have a very warm favourite in the Aidan O’Brien trained Alfred Munnings who made a big impression when winning at Leopardstown last month. The 4th has won since although the runner up has been soundly beaten since. He’s obviously held in high regard and will be hard to beat although on what he’s achieved so far is short enough in the market. John and Thady Gosden saddle a trio of runners in Alzahir, Faisal Road and One World and all are open to improvement following a single run. At the prices I’ll take a chance with the Richard Hannon runner Dark Thirty who’s win at Newbury last month has been franked since by wins for the runner up and third. He looks a big price to me and can be backed each way along with Crypto Force, an Amo Racing owned colt trained by Michael O’Callaghan in Ireland. He won a strong Curragh maiden at the beginning of the month, a race in which the well touted Aidan O’Brien runner Auguste Rodin was an unlucky loser. Again he’s a nice price and can be backed small each way although as I stated earlier the most likely winner is the favourite who I would be loathe to lay. DARK THIRTY 1/2 point each way 20/1 Paddy Power 1/5th 123 CRYPTO FORCE 1/2 point each way 12/1 William Hill 1/5th 123 Ascot 3.05 The 7F group 3 Jersey Stakes has attracted a nice field of fifteen three year olds and has an open look about it. Charlie Appleby saddles the favourite in Noble Truth who looked good when winning a listed contest at Newmarket in April although surprisingly he’s been gelded since. Saeed Bin Suroor’s Monaadah made all to beat Audience at Kempton on the all weather this month and is another runner with a chance here. In an open contest I’ll take a couple against the field each way. Firstly the Henry De Bromhead trained filly Star Girls Aaimal who is lightly raced and ran a stormer in the Irish 1000 guineas last time when finishing 4th (hampered a furlong out and the run can be marked up) beaten 6 1/4L to the smart winner Homeless Songs. That form has been boosted since by the runner up Tuesday winning the Oaks since and the 6th Purplepay winning a group 2 in France. She’s my main play although I can’t resist a small each way saver on German raider Rocchigiani who’s recent 1 1/4L runner up in the German 2000 guineas to William Haggas’s Maljoom was franked when he was an unlucky loser in Tuesdays St James Palace Stakes. STAR GIRLS AAIMAL 1 point each way 8/1 William Hill 1/5th 1234 ROCCHIGIANI 1/2 point each way 12/1 BetVictor 1/5th 1234 Ascot 3.40 Only eight turn up for the group 2 Hardwicke Stakes run over a mile and a half for four year olds and upwards. It sees the re-appearance of last seasons Irish Derby, St Leger and Arc third Hurricane Lane. He’s top class and can win this especially if the forecast thunderstorms arrive although recent forecasts are now suggesting they won’t be turning up until after racing. If the ground doesn’t ease it wouldn’t be a shock were he to be pulled out as the Arc De Triomphe is the ultimate target this season. The Gosden’s Mostahdaf was firmly put in his place by Bay Bridge last time at Sandown and wears first time cheek pieces here stepping up in trip. Broome is a consistent sort and along with Solid Stone and Third Realm are feared most but this is all about Hurricane Lane who I expect to win if allowed to run. HURRICANE LANE 3 points win 8/11 William Hill Ascot 4.20 27 go to post for a fantastic renewal of the group one Platinum Jubilee Stakes. Run over 6F of the straight course for three year olds and older. The Australian runner Nature Strip won the Kings Stand on Tuesday in scintillating style and his stablemate Home Affairs looks the one they all have to beat here although at around the 2/1 mark hardly looks value in such a tight knit sprint. And don’t dismiss Aussie 2nd string Artorius who by all accao7nts is more than capable of running a big race. American Wesley Ward is having a week to forget but runs his Campanelle here who has won at the Royal meeting for the last two years and is a definite player. I’m hearing good things about William Haggas’s Sacred and although she hasn’t run this season can run well as long as the rain stays away. She will be part of my staking plan along with John Quinn’s Highfield Princess who shocked me with the ease of her victory in the the group 2 Duke Of York Stakes last time. A winner of the Buckingham Palace Stakes at the meeting last year she seems to be taking off now despite her age and she is a tasty price in a race where stakes are best kept small. HIGHFIELD PRINCESS 1 point each way 14/1 bet365 1/5th 123456 SACRED 1/2 point each way @ 14/1 Coral 1/5th 12345 Ascot 5.00 A maximum field of 28 spread right across the track in the Wokingham Handicap run over 6F is up next. James Fanshawe’s Fresh has an excellent record at the track with form figures of 21234 with the last four coming in big field handicaps including when runner up in this contest last season. He would appreciate any easing of the ground and can be competitive. Blackrod comes here in good form having won at Newmarket in April and despite a 9lb rise in the weights is another for the shortlist for sprint specialist Michael Dodds. Top weight Rohaan shouldn’t be dismissed either. This will be the first handicap he’s contested since winning this from a 3lb higher mark and although soundly beaten last time has the services of Ryan Moore today. As you would expect it’s a tough call but the front two appeal most and I’ll play both each way with additional places. FRESH 1 point each way 8/1 BetVictor 1/5th 123456 BLACKROD 1 point each way 10/1 bet365 1/5th 134567 Ascot 5.35 Yet another tricky handicap with the Golden Gates Handicap run over 10F for three year olds only. The favourite is the George Boughey trained Missed The Cut who like many here is making his handicap debut. He’s done little wrong in his short career and should go close. Charlie Appleby saddles a brace of runners in Blue Trail (last seen smacking William Buick in the face on Derby day!) and Falling Shadow who’s been gelded since winning his maiden at Newbury last month. Buick has chosen the latter but both have claims. Another Godolphin owned runner is the John and Thady Gosden trained Honiton who bolted up at Sandown in a maiden last time and although this will be a lot tougher can make his presence felt. I’ve been very impressed with Missed The Cut and although he’s relatively short is the one I want to be with James McDonald in the saddle. MISSED THE CUT 1 1/2 points each way @ 4/1 William Hill 1/5th 12345 Ascot 6.10 The getting out stakes is the 2m 5 1/2F Queen Alexandra Stakes. The ground is the key here because if the forecast thunderstorms turn up and ease the ground then surely Trueshan who’s a monster when the conditions are in his favour will be hard to beat and go off more of an odds on chance here despite a 10lb penalty for his two group one victories last season, the Goodwood Cup and Prix Du Cadran both run on soft ground. He’s unbeaten in two starts at the Berkshire track and worth backing now as if the ground doesn’t ease he will no doubt be pulled out as he was on Thursday for the Gold Cup. Last year’s winner Statum is back to defend his title and looks a bit over priced although he doesn’t appear to be in the best of form since despite a novice chase win last December. Dermot Weld’s Falcon Eight went off a 7/4 favourite for this race last year but was unsuited by the softening of the ground and ended up well beaten. He would be the bet here if the rain stays away and Trueshan is pulled out. Wordsworth is the other contender at the front of the market with claims but it’s Trueshan for me if the ground eases. TRUESHAN 2 points win 6/4 bet365 If NR FALCON EIGHT 2 points win 11/2 bet365
