    The second Major of the year starts on Thursday, who are we betting on?

    For me its: Viktor Hovland

    The 23 year old is one of the great talents in the game and looks ready to take it up a level

    Each Way [9 places] @ 25-1 William Hill

    Tied 30th which was disappointing after a good first round

    Definitely

    Think she is a bit of value at 14's for the Gold cup

     

    Search For A Song runs in a Group 1 today, but over 10 furlongs though the ground will bring her stamina into play

    But this in reality looks a prep race for Ascot, having said that I would not like the horse to go off unbacked at double figure odds of 11-1 (4 places) with Bet 365

    I thought he ran a very good race. He is still a big baby both physically and mentally. He didnt know what to do when he was leading. Couple of cracks by Crowley, I think it learnt a lot. The first 2, I think time will tell, are a couple of decent animals. He ran all the way to the line and seems sure to be aimed at middle distance handicaps. I backed it, but only first 2. I consider it money lent rather than lost because I am confident this horse will win races.

    A massive horse with the best to come, and understand he will now be gelded

    Been watching closely the training career of Donnacha O'Brien who I think as his breeding suggests has a bright future ahead of him

    Like that unlike his brother Joseph he is not interested in the jumping game or middle of the road handicappers, its all about quality and its telling that he had no runners from November till last week as he nurtures his yet to race 3 year old's especially .

    Think we can expect some of them to turn out very nicely like the colt Shinsengumi, though I did think his Emporio looked a horse to follow this year after finishing all his three races in 2nd

    Worth remembering though that his big race wins last season came with fillies, so watch out for Absolutely who they could not believe got beat on her debut and Igraine who gave me the impression she would be stronger this year same as Oh So Fine who is owned by the "lads"

    Igraine has her seasonal debut in the last race at Navan today

    Looks a good maiden but there are worse bets around than risking a little each way at general 50-1 or 11-1 with nine places at Bet 365

    Very weak in the betting and well beaten off in 4th

    But was doing best work up the straight and will pay to follow, probably in handicaps

    Forever William will get a handicap mark after today's race [3.20 Thirsk]

    So just a small each way play at 12-1 Bet 365

    Navegaon Gate surprisingly comes back in trip tomorrow (3.55 Newbury) though the ground will be on the soft side

    Good news to see him at a nice each way price currently at 18-1

    Bad news to see only 7 runners and a market leader whose connections think could be a Group 1 horse

    Though well beaten in 3rd was not disgraced over a trip too short, did play him in the extra place market at double figures so was happy enough and liked the way he passed the first two in the pulling up area
