Rock`N Swing ew 25-1 with several firms in the Prix Diane........finished 7th in the French Guineas.....stone last coming into the straight and made ground to be beaten not that far at the line..........stepping up to 10f which is much more in keeping with Her breeding . Andra Fabre/ Michel Barzelona combination .

Give up on British racing so going to France Lyon Parilly for my fancies 1542 Wodka Lemon 1617 Sekku 1727 Perfect Hedges 1802 Dreams 1938 Lucky You

Ambiente Friendly , what more can be said .3 furlongs out rider sits motionless with City of Troy 3 lengths behind , 2 furlongs out still about a length ahead of City of Troy , rider still motionless . One and a half furlongs out , suddenly catches sight of City of Troy about a length ahead and finally decides to press the button all too late . Commiserations to all who backed him . I was in the Coral shop with a few others we all were asking 3 furlongs out "what is He doing , go and get the race won " , the man commentating in the Coral shop was also going into melt down saying " He hasn`t seen Ryan Moore on His inside at all "...............What might be said is if Callum Shephard had ridden , would He not just kicked on 3 furlongs out as He did in the Derby trial at Lingfield?.......or maybe it came back to bite whoevers decision it was to jock Him off .

Emily Upjohn and Ezeliya double . Dermot Weld is a master at preparing good horses having just a few runs and on breeding looks the part .

Vadream , Vandeek , Rosallion treble for me .

Regarding Caius Chorister last night , Jamie Spencer has ridden the horse 3 times , He rode the perfect race on it the time before and was touched off by Coltrane. , He was at Sandown last night , but Mr Menusier put Rossa Ryan up , very puzzling .

Cannot believe Vadream is 7=1 for the Temple Stakes at Haydock Saturday .Weather warnings issued for today and tomorrow . This confirmed mudlark must be an ew steal .

While we were all scrambling around trying to pick winners in the UK ,Luke Morris rides 2 winners for Archie Watson in Germany , and Silvestre De Souza rides a winner for Mr Menusier in the German Guineas . Nothing pinned up in the betting shop in the morning , will pay more attention of International racecards in future .

Latest forecast for light rain every day of York meeting . Ground good/firm at present . Should be perfect ground if forecast correct .

Maybe a bit early but had a quick look at the Hambleton Handicap and BET365 have Godwinson at 6-1 , a little 5-1 available with other firms . Massive eyecatcher in the Newbury Spring Cup can see it starting at 5-2/9-4 on the day .

Henry Longfellow , said by O`Brien "will come on for the run " , ridden as if on a schooling session by Ryan Moore , and yet stayed 6-4 all day . I can`t believe anybody was backing this horse , and yet it`s price stayed firm.......absolutely baffling . What were the bookies expecting ?

One bet today Hickory e.w. Victoria Cup . Always runs well at Ascot , top Jockey / trainer , and good draw .

Dee stakes Gods Window Ormonde Arrest.......given a strange ride first time up , kept wide , kicked on too far out and collapsed over a furlong out . Gosdens stable were off form then and i expect batter this time..days Nap .

Cheshire Oaks Galileo Dame Chester Vase Hidden Law , daisy cutting action should love track and ground , days nap .

2.05 Goodwood....Orchid Bloom...... fairly well tipped and gambled.......perennial front runner or races near the pace . Slow out and very little help from the jockey Mr C Fallon , horse consequently sulked from early on and finished tailed of.........schooling in public or what ?

Pleasure to watch ITV racing today for a change with Ollie , Francesca , Adele and the added bonus of Hayley , all the egos missing , but i`m sure they will be back for Guineas weekend unfortunately .

Had a quick look at Cat Ninja , well bred horse so i can understand the confidence , Running Spirit is Gosdens other and is bred for speed , might do a reverse forecast as well .

3 Group Races to enjoy 1258 Double Major could be the best stayer in Europe if last years runaway win on Arc day can be believed , surely has higher aims than this weak Group 3 , but if fit should win doing handsprings 11-8 1450 The Prix Ganay group 1 ......Zarabek e.w. ...messed about with the distance last year , seems better at 10 furlongs so worth a punt 11-2 1525 Ottery , again seemed to take them a while to find it`s correct trip 10-3 All in all 3 cracking races with £280,000 in total up for grabs , all winnable .........and not 1 British entry.........and we twine on about prize money and the lack of quality races early in the season .

Didn`t back Masai Mara in the 1350 , but yet again the starter wouldn`t let them go for no apparent reason , he then lets them go when the horse in question wasn`t even pointing the right way . Disgraceful , and anyone who bet the horse will lose their money , unless they are lucky enough to have bet with a firm who will declare it an non runner .

Followcato 1945 Huntingdon , NH Flat..........sire Notnowcato and that ones sire Black Sam Bellamy , certainly bred for the job , so hope for the best .

Walkadina 1920 UTT and Austins Hill Lass 1950 UTT...............N H Flat double .

With you Hotspur 88.........Lead Artist , only bet of the day .Searching through the form book seems a waste of time as you don`t know whats fit , so gone with an unraced well bred type .

4 winners so made up for a poor friday and saturday at Aintree .
