250 Catterick
Question Of Faith 9/4 PP
Been running well and looks to have found a perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways. Has ran well over C/D before and arrive sin good form having been second at Ayr last time out. Interesting jockey booking of Paul Hanagan and looks the one to beat for me.

We have all done it, lost count how many times a price or the going or draw puts a doubt in my head and i change it, when we do we get punished Via the wallet, all we can do is move on.
I don't feel he was a pacemaker, the flat season winding down can be as strange as the Start.

I don't normaly write postings like this, but I've had a few drinks.
I feel sick:
1. Sick at myself for not putting some proper money on Enable. I expect Harry Findlay loaded-up. BTW his book is out in a couple of weeks. [Memories of 2/5 Istabrak, and Moscow Flyer.] Per Harry: "the bigger the odds-on, the more you put on". Mind, he was twice bankrupt.
2. Sick at Ed C. - so nicey-nicey: "Isn't racing wonderful". Well, yes it's good, but it's 90% about gambling, of which he seems unaware.
3. Ollie Bell and his teeth. I don't know what purpose he serves.
4. Francesca. Far too posh for ITV. Voice doesn't work for me. Bring back Tanya to terrestrial.
5. Hayley (not there today). Learn to pronounce the "t" in words. In her defence, she does seem to be tipping a few winners - which is something ITV seem to regard as irrelevant, and can say a few words about how a horse should be ridden.
6. The fashion crap.
Only kudos goes to Matt C for tipping the Enable forecast. Jason, Luke and Johnny Murtagh are also OK.
Rant over!

Shame things never went to plan BUT what a stunning write up.

3.35 York: Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes, 1m 2f
Cracking renewal and five of the seven starters have strong credentials to land the big pot. Eclipse winner and King George runner-up Ulysses sets the standard in my mind. Drop in trip will suit after being outstayed at Ascot by star filly Enable.
He travelles strongly through his races and no more so at Sandown when wearing Barney Roy down. Slight concern is the rain coming. He obviously has fine form with cut in the ground in the book, however to my eye is clearly at his best when the ground is fast.
Whether Barney Roy truly wants 10 furlongs remains to be seen. Any rain will hinder his chances I believe and while he is certainly a top class colt I don't think he should be the favourite.
2000 Guineas winner Churchill returns after being taken out at Goodwood and a lackluster performance at Royal Ascot. He is by Galileo so the step up to 10f may not be as big an issue as some commentators make it out to be. He also has form on slow ground in case the rain would have a big impact.
However how much more can he improve for the new trip? He's already had 9 career starts and his target was clearly the Guineas.
Aiden O'Brien's "second" string, Derby runner-up Cliffs Of Moher appears to be a more interesting contender. He probably was a bit unlucky in the Eclipse when he finished fourth, as he was badly hampered in the middle of the race and lost all momentum.
He's still only had five runs and can still improve. 10f on any sort of ground will suit and interestingly he is the only one who already matched a 112 top speed rating that otherwise only Ulysses has been able to achieve.
The filly Shutter Speed beat Enable earlier the year and that sort of performance gives her a chance. Nonetheless she has a bit to find with the boys I feel. It's a tough task for her, though interesting to see a tongue tie applied for the first time.
You can't fully discount Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Decorative Knight. He was well held in the Eclipse Stakes after clipping heels midterm. Could run well for a big price.
Selection:
Cliffs Of Moher @ 11/2 Paddy Power
