With you on Call Another Day@calva decoy  measures up well against Gun Song and Corposo, they are much shorter prices so seems value.

I noticed re looking through tomorrow's cards a new ( well new to me ) Newmarket based trainer H.Al.Jehani has a couple of Saturday entries 2.40 Newmarket - Make Me King & 8.20 Donny - Solar Acclaim & another from a couple of weeks back , Diego Dias I think was called Ireland based runs on Sunday 1.50 Naas - Lovely , could be 2 new ones to follow ?

Newbury 1.50 The first of four races shown by the ITV cameras is this 1M 4F Group 3 Sky Sports Racing Aston Park Stakes which features nine runners. The favourite is William Haggas’s Desert Hero who gave owners the King & Queen a royal winner at Royal Ascot last year in the King George V Handicap. He made a pleasing re-appearance when runner up to Okeechobee in the Group 3 Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown over a trip short of his best and looks the one they all have to beat under Tom Marquand, his regular pilot. John & Thady Gosden’s Middle Earth is rated officially 5lb inferior to the selection but may well be the one to chase home Desert Hero.   DESERT HERO 1 point win @ 13/8 bet365   Newmarket 2.05 Just seven have declared for this 7F class 3 handicap for three year olds only. Bar the rag Venture Capital a case can be made for the other six runners. Love Billy Boy is up 4lb for his second at Newmarket at the Guineas meeting and can run well along with Ed Bethell’s handicap debutant Gressington who may have a nice mark here. The one that catches my eye however is the Roger Varian trained Dashing Darcey. He’s run well in two good handicaps this season especially last time when slowly away at Chester but running on to great effect to finish 2 1/4L third to the handicap snip Never So Brave. Off of the same mark he looks the one to be with under Aidan Keeley who claims a valuable 3lb and can be backed each way with an additional place.   DASHING DARCEY 1 point each way @ 9/2 bet365 1/5th 123   Newbury 2.25 A decent sized field of fourteen go to post for this listed Highclere Castle Gin Carnarvon Stakes run over a distance of 6F. Clive Cox’s James Delight steps up in grade having won handicaps at Pontefract and Newmarket but is only rated 3lb behind the top rated which is the William Haggas trained Relief Rally. She can go well but it’s the latter that looks the one they all have to beat. She’s always looked speed and patently failed to stay 7F when fourth in the Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury four weeks ago. That form has been boosted by the third Elmalka winning the 1000 Guineas since. The drop in trip looks ideal for Tom Marquand’s mount who won four of her five starts as a juvenile including the Group 2 6F Lowther Stakes in August and can give the Haggas & Marquand combo a double with Desert Hero in the previous race.   RELIEF RALLY 1 point win @ 4/1 BetVictor   Newmarket 2.40 A good sized field of fifteen run in this class 2 7F 0-105 handicap. Last year’s handicap sensation Quinault who rose a staggering 43lb in the weights during his seven victories is not out of this if straight enough having not been seen since Ascot last October. One horse who does look particularly well handicapped at the moment is the David O’Meara trained Darkness. A winner at the July course here last summer he can now race off of a mark 4lb lower. He weakened at the furlong pole in a decent handicap at the Guineas meeting here over a mile and the drop to 7F looks an excellent move. Jason Watson takes the mount and he appeals as a decent each way bet.   DARKNESS 1 point each way @ 16/1 William Hill 1/5th 1234   Newbury 3.00 A race always worth following over the next couple of months or so is the Trade Nation London Gold Cup Handicap which has produced many smart performers over the years. Aidan O’Brien won it last year and saddles Chantilly who won a handicap at Leopardstown in good style by 4 1/4L on his re-appearance. He has entries in the Irish Derby, the Eclipse and King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot. The only other runner who has a future group entry is the John & Thady Gosden trained Fighter Command who is also entered in the King Edward VII Stakes. He’s an interesting runner making his handicap debut having won a Windsor maiden last month. One horse who looks particularly well handicapped is the Harry Charlton trained King’s Gambit. Harry’s father Roger has an excellent record in the race having won it four times in the last dozen years with smart sorts Al Kazeem, Time Test, Imperial Aviator and Headman. King’s Gambit had three runs as a juvenile and hasn’t been seen since a head runner up to Brackens Laugh in the Haynes, Hanson & Clark Novices’ Stakes here last September. He gave the winner 6lb that day who has won again since and was runner up in the Dee Stakes at Chester earlier tis month. He’s now rated 108 so an initial mark for King’s Gambit of 93 looks quite lenient. William Buick has been booked and he looks the one to be with.   KING’S GAMBIT 1 point win @ 9/2 bet365   Newmarket 3.15 A 1M class 3 handicap is up next featuring eleven runners. Andrew Balding’s Hopeful ran a blinder at Redcar last time when going down by 1/2L to Baryshnikov and a 2lb rise in the weights may not stop him from being competitive. Last year’s winner Repertoire is now 3lb higher but having teed up for this with a fourth at Ascot seventeen days ago can also be a player but the one to beat may turn out to be Ian Williams’s Aalto. An ex French performer he ran well to push Crack Shot to a length in a good handicap over course and distance at the Guineas meeting and with just a 2lb rise to contend with can go close. He is double engaged mind as he also has an entry at Newbury this afternoon. In his absence Hopeful would be the pick.   AALTO 1 point each way @ 13/2 Betfred 1/5th 1234   Newbury 3.35 The feature race of the day is the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes run over the straight mile. The two principals are French challenger Big Rock and the five year old mare Inspiral. The latter had her rival back 1 1/4L back in second when winning the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville last August and has won first time out before. She’s an obvious player if fully tuned up whilst the former Big Rock is a classy performer who has left his previous trainer Christopher Head to join Maurizio Guarnieri who’s failed to have a winner from his last twelve runners. He too hasn’t been seen this season but was scintillating when giving out a 6L beating to his rivals in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day at Ascot last October. He wouldn’t want the ground to dry out and with some question marks against the top two it maybe worth opposing the pair with a race fit horse who’s in terrific form. Roger Varian’s Charyn has won both starts this season at Doncaster and Sandown in the style of a smart performer and although on ratings he has 11lb and 7lb to find with the two principals looks decent each way value under Silvestre De Sousa.   CHARYN 1 point each way @ 9/2 bet365 1/5th 123  

Good luck .
Wonder how much rain will fall before then ? 
Used to love Dante Day , 13-15k attendance not like John Smith's day but the Earlybird ticket offer after Covid went up around 27% & you can't trust the trains nowadays so highlights on TV for me .

Hot Darling won nicely enough however Friendly Soul was ridiculously green, probably ran twice the length of the rest of the field and came last so a loss of 1.5pts for the day and an updated P/L of +5.7pts

Good luck .

1st run for new trainer & all of hers need a run so she says in her reports hence why I've backed the consistent BOSH instead , but hopefully he'll have a better season than last where he dropped from ( I think ) 102 to 90 rated , thanks anyway 👍

Good luck with these.  I see that @sirspread has napped your eyelash horse First Folio so let's hope that it runs weel

Ascot 1.30 Ascot kicks off the eight races on ITV today with a 1M 4F class 3 handicap with a field of fourteen. Gary & Josh Moore saddle their five year old Kotai who comes here chasing a hat trick following victories at Windsor and Salisbury on varying different ground conditions. His latest win at the latter course came only six days ago when he pulled 10L clear of his field. He has to shoulder a 5lb penalty today but he looks sure to go up more than that when re-assessed so is worth backing to get the hat trick up under Jason Watson who was in the saddle at Salisbury. Richard Hannon’s Great Bedwyn was a progressive sort when last seen back in June and if straight enough could be the most likely threat to the selection.   KOTARI 1 point win each way @ 4/1 William Hill 1/5th 12345   Lingfield 1.50 The first of four races covered by the ITV cameras at the Surrey track is this 1M 3 1/2F class 2 handicap. Roger Varian’s Aimeric looks the one to beat having won twice last season including first time out and although he’s up 6lb for his latest victory can be highly competitive. Ralph Beckett is getting going now and saddles his promising If Not Now who actually ran a 8 1/4L fifth in the Group 1 Germany Derby last Summer. He’s been gelded since last seen, when disappointing on soft ground at Doncaster and if tuned up can push Aimeric all the way but the pick today has to be Sheik Mohammed Obaid Al Maktoum owned Frankel gelding.   AIMERIC 1 point win @ 5/2 William Hill   Ascot 2.05 Ten go to post for this 1M class 2 handicap run on the straight course. Cases can be made for plenty in a race in which the early show was 5/1 the field. Drying ground will be very much in favour of the Harry Charlton trained Zouzanna who found soft ground against on his last run which came at Newmarket last October. Charlton has his string in fine form winning with four of his last 12 runners at time of writing and he looks the pick. One to keep a close eye on is the Andrew Balding runner Topanga who is making his handicap debut on only her fourth ever start having finished fifth in the Group 3 Fred Draling Stakes at Newbury last time. As a three year old she receives a healthy 13lb age allowance and is worth a small stakes saver.   ZOUZANNA 1 point each way @ 5/1 bet365 1/5th 123 TOPANGA 1/2 point each way @ 9/1 bet365 1/5th 123   Lingfield 2.25 Seven three year old fillies line up for this 1M 3 1/2F listed William Hill Oaks Trial which has a rather open look about it despite John & Thady Gosden having a warm favourite in the shape of Danielle. She bolted up at 4/7 in an ordinary 1M 2F novices stakes at Wetherby last time on soft ground. Today’s ground will be markedly drier and her previous form when runner up to Godolphin filly Winter Snowfall was let down when that one flopped in the Pretty Polly at Newmarket last weekend. She may well win but looks poor value to me and I’m against her. Ralph Beckett, who took the Oaks trial at Chester in the week, saddles a brace of promising fillies in Treasure and You Got Me and I’ll chance the latter who may have found the heavy ground against her when flopping in a listed race at Newmarket last November. Hector Crouch retains the ride and looks each way value with the firms paying three places against the warm favourite.   YOU GOT TO ME 1 point each way @ 11/2 Betfred 1/5th 123   Ascot 2.40 A bumper field of twenty three run in this 7F class 2 Victoria Cup. The stalls will be positioned in the centre of the straight course and it’s hard to evaluate where the best place to be (last year the winner came from low numbers on the far side but more times than not its the stand side and high numbers that have the call). As you would expect there are plenty in with a chance here but my shortlist includes The Wizard Of Eye who has been gelded since last seen and has joined Charlie Fellowes from Stan Moore. He has spent the majority of his career with Moore running in pattern company and has only raced in handicap company twice in his life when sixth in the Golden Mile at Goodwood last summer and fifth (of 10) in the Shergar Cup Mile a week later. He’s 4lb lower now. My main fancy though is the David O’Meara trained Pearle D’or who won here and at Newbury last season and teed up for the season with a tenth of 15 in a warm Newmarket handicap won by Poet Master at the Craven meeting when not knocked about. Sure to have befitted from that outing he can run well today for O’Meara who was mentioned this race as an early season target in a stable tour in the Racing Post three weeks ago.   PEARLE d’OR 1 point each way @ 10/1 Coral 1/5th 12345 THE WIZARD OF EYE 1/2 point each way @ 12/1 Coral 1/5th 12345   Lingfield 3.00 Nine three year old colts have declared for the listed 1M 3 1/2F William Hill Lingfield Derby Trial. Aidan O’Brien sends over a brace of runners in the shape of Illinois, the mount of Ryan Moore and The Euphrates (Declan McDonagh). Both ran in the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown a month ago on heavy ground with the latter finishing 2 1/4L ahead of his stablemate despite Illinois going off a very well backed 8/11 favourite. It will be no shock if the tables were tuned today on better ground and he should go very close. I prefer the Roger Varian trained Defiance however who showed he was a horse going the right way when he finished runner up in the Epsom Derby trial last month to Bellum Justum (the re-opposing Arabic Legend 2L behind). Sure to have benefited from that run he can take this and put himself in with a shout for the big race next month.   DEFIANCE 1 point win @ 5/2 bet365   Haydock 3.15 The day’s big jumps race is the 1M 7F 144 yard Pertemps Network Swinton Handicap Hurdle which has attracted a maximum field of seventeen runners. A very warm favourite is the Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle winner Lark In The Mornin who has to deal with a 8lb rise in the weights and significantly drier conditions. He may well be better on this type of surface but I’m not keen to take under 2/1 to find out and I’ll be looking to get him beat with an each way play. Sheena West’s Mr Freedom is a a decent outsider in my book but I like the look of the Cheltenham form from last month when Tintintin beat Rare Middleton a neck on similar ground as today’s. The latter is one pound better off and there shouldn’t be much between them with professional jockeys taking over on both from the conditionals that rode them that day. Last year’s runner up Teddy Blue isn’t running well but has fallen down to an interesting mark and is a good outsider. I’ll take the regal O’Brien horse Tintintin to confirm form with rare Middleton and back him each way.   TINTINTIN 1 point each way @ 12/1 Betfred 1/5th 12345   Lingfield 3.35 Nine fillies run in this 7F Group 3 William Hill Chartwell Fillies’ Stakes with a hot favourite in the shape of Ralph Beckett’s Remarquee who brings the best form to the table. A winner first time up last season in the Fred Darling at Newbury she went on to run the great Tahiyra to a length in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and backed that up with two other good runs in Group 1’s the following month. She’s been off since and had her wind tinkered with but she will be hard to beat and is the selection under James Doyle. The biggest threat to her may come from the three year old Great Generation trained at Newmarket by Marco Botti who’s re-appearance fourth in a Group 3 at Deauville has been doubly boosted since by the runner up and third from that day finishing 2nd and 3rd in the 1000 Guineas last weekend.   REMARQUEE 2 points win @ 6/5 William Hill
