The Brigadier

Ascot 2.30   The Norfolk kicks the day off and could turn out to be a match between the American challenger American Rascal, who’s dam Lady Aurelia loved Ascot and Karl Burke’s Elite Status who was so impressive at Sandown last time. They’re both priced accordingly mind and I’ll look for a bit of value with the Donnacha O’Brien trained Devious who won on his debut at Naas in good style.   DEVIOUS 1 point each way 14/1 William Hill 1/5th 1234   Ascot 3.05   As alway a highly competitive renewal with several unexposed three year olds. My shortlist comprises of top weight Bertinelli who won the London Cup last time and may still have a bit in hand of the handicapper, Davideo who makes his handicap debut here following a Newmarket maiden success and Sir Michael Stoute’s Perfuse making his handicap debut. A tough call but the pick is the Aiden O’Brien top weight Bertinelli.
BERTINELLI 1 point each way 7/1 bet365   Ascot 3.40   The supplemented Al Asifah looks very smart and is arguably the best three year old filly around. She’ll be hard to beat but has been priced accordingly at around the Even money mark. Bluestocking can turn the tables on her Newbury conqueror Warm Heart and looks one for the frame but I can’t look beyond Al Asifah who looks very good.   AL ASIFAH 2 points win 10/11 888Sport   Ascot 4.20   A good renewal of this famous staying race with no standout champion this season. Coltrane is the most obvious contender as he loves the track and stays so well whilst last year’s St Leger winner Eldar Eldarov ran a great trial at York and promises to be well suited by this longer trip. The Gosden’s have had such a great time of late in the race with Stradivarius and may have found another good one in the unbeaten Courage Mon Ami who is also stepping up markedly in trip but wasn’t stopping last time and on ratings hasn’t much to find. An unbeaten horse ridden by Frankie Dettori he’s the pick here with the Godolphin runner Yibir another to consider if he sees the trip out.   COURAGE MON AMI 1 point each way  7/1 bet365 1/5th 1234   Ascot 5.00   As always a real minefield of a race with thirty three year olds hurtling down the straight course. My short list consists of Sheila Lavery’s well thought of Fort Vega who looks nicely treated, Royal Cape who ran into one last time out at Haydock and the five timer seeking Racingbreaks Ryder who may still be ahead of the assessor. My pick is the Irish raider Fort Vega who his trainer still harbours Group aspirations for him.   FORT VEGA 1 point each way  25/1 bet365 1/4 1234 ROYAL CAPE 1 point each way 20/1 bet365 1/4 1234   Ascot 5.35   Another tough contest where it maybe worth chancing Exoplanet who was a real eye-catcher last time out in the London Cup at Newbury where he was badly drawn and had a wide trip all the way round but still finished third. Torito and Caernarfon look possible dangers but to small stakes it’s Exoplanet each way.   EXOPLANET 1 point each way 15/2 William Hill 1/5th 1234   Ascot 6.10   Another 29 runner cavalry charge in the shape of the Buckingham Palace Stakes Handicap. Kingdom Come is the tentative pick now dripping back in trip for Clive Cox. He appeared to run out of petrol within the final furlong last time out at Newbury and can be thereabouts.   KINGDOM COME 1 point each way 14/1 Coral 1/5th 123456

A competitive renewal with no standout filly in the 28 strong field. Karl Burke’s Beautiful Diamond looked smart when winning at Nottingham earlier this month and should be competitive along with the Richard Fahey trained Midnight Affair who did it well in the Hilary Needler last time. Others with chances include the Marygate winner Got To Love A Grey and Born To Rock. Karl Burke won this with Dramatised and can follow up with his Twilight Son grey Beautiful Diamond.   BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND 1 point win @ 9/2 bet365   3.05   A wide open renewal of the Kensington Palace Fillies Handicap with plenty holding chances. The lightly raced Joseph O’Brien runner Yerwanthere is making her handicap debut off of what looks to be a fair mark. The jockey booking of James McDonald is an interesting one. To small each way stakes that’ll do for me.   YERWANTHERE 1/2  point each way @15/2 bet365 1/5th 123456   3.40   The Duke Of Cambridge Stakes can go the way of the Ralph Beckett trained Prosperous Voyage with Frankie Dettori riding for his pal Andrew Rosen. He won a tad cosily at Epsom and has a solid chance with Jumbly looking the danger.   PROSPEROUS VOYAGE 2 points win @ 5/2 Coral   4.20   A real cracker of a race and one of the best of the week despite its small field. With only officially 2lb between six of the field. Luxembourg seems in a good place at present and with Ryan Moore on board a real bonus can fend off his old foe Bay Bridge with possibly Adayar his biggest danger. My Prospero will appreciate stepping up in trip after his fourth in the Lockinge and shouldn’t be quickly dismissed either. A tough call but it’s Luxembourg for me.   LUXEMBOURG 1 point win @ 9/4 bet365   5.00   As always a cavalry charge up the straight mile with the draw always a major factor. Recent years have suggested a high number are best but it’s not conclusive. Perotto is well handicapped and has his conditions so should run well along with Point Lynas who is the only horse in the race who is officially ahead of his mark (by 3lb). The pick though is Daniel & Clare Kubler’s Astro King who’s been placed in this last two years and was unlucky at York last time.   ASTRO KING 1 point each way @12/1 Coral 1/5th 123456 GHALY 1/2 point each way @ 10/1 bet365 1/5th 123456   5.35   Gregory has plenty going for him and with the trip likely to draw further improvement out of the John & Thady Gosden trained Golden Horn three year old he is a confident selection to win the Queens Vase.   GREGORY 2 points win @ 7/4 bet365   6.10   Aidan O’Brien has some juvenile talent in his stables this season and can take the Windsor Castle Stakes with his once raced Johannes Brahms. He went off odds on on his debut when winning at Naas and the word is he’s rated second only to their Coventry runner River Tiber in the current pecking order.

every chance of that, Ted. We want to get much more video content out there.
Anybody that is happy to do something like this in terms of joining a zoom meeting for a "race" day or meeting or a big event please do let me know so that we can plan for something like that.

The pick though is Daniel & Clare Kubler’s Astro King who’s been placed in this last two years and was unlucky at York last time.   ASTRO KING 1 point each way @12/1 Coral 1/5th 123456 GHALY 1/2 point each way @ 10/1 bet365 1/5th 123456   5.35   Gregory has plenty going for him and with the trip likely to draw further improvement out of the John & Thady Gosden trained Golden Horn three year old he is a confident selection to win the Queens Vase.   GREGORY 2 points win @ 7/4 bet365   6.10   Aidan O’Brien has some juvenile talent in his stables this season and can take the Windsor Castle Stakes with his once raced Johannes Brahms. He went off odds on on his debut when winning at Naas and the word is he’s rated second only to their Coventry runner River Tiber in the current pecking order.  
JOHANNES BRAHMS 1 point win @ 5/1 Bet365

Just going to bang my jumps selection in this thread instead of creating another thread void race 
Stratford 4.30 
Too Friendly 9.45 11/4
Pisgah Pike 9.4 22/1
Jamacho 9.17 15/2
Oakley 9.13 8/1
For Pleasure 9.13 7/2
Good race this and most of the 9 runners have a good shout . Top two very close and bit in front of others . Too Friendly won lto this is stronger and he’s up 6Ibs but he’s still capable . Pisgah is a ridiculous price for what’s he achieved in better races .Bad run lto but that was first run after break. Don’t know how to approach this as don’t really want to play both of them. 

Have written my picks down but with 3/4 hours of very heavy rains from around 5-8am forecast I'll wait & see if the going changes & or for b.o.g . prices but will take a chance on 
340 DRAMATISED 7/1 E/WAY bet365 ( 5 ) 
500 NOVEL LEGEND 10/1 E/WAY bet365 ( 6 )
will price in morning , good luck to all .
10mm of rain overnight & changed to good / good to firm on the round course so not much change really .

I was banging on about this horse a while back saw it come second to manobo in dubai G3 at 66/1 in a rocket time with enemy back in 4th. and it couldn't even beat a bunch of moderate horses, hope he has a good excuse if it wins this, personally i don't think it stays this far but we shall see, like you say tho you have to stick with what your stats say, no use moaning if it wins and you don't back it. Williams has a great record in these distance races, Zinc white beat novel legend lto and i fancy that (nl) for the Northumberland plate so its going to be interesting.

Always scratch my head a bit when I end up with the outsider in the field but the stats have worked for me over the years so you have to keep the faith

Love this pick, don't think they've been trying very hard with it recently. Skybet going 7 places but only 66/1 so taken some 100/1 e/w top 6.
