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

2.45 Thirsk: Class 5 Handicap, 7f
This appears to be an open contest with a good handful on seemingly handy marks, however the standard is set by Perfect Symphony I feel, who does not get enough credit in the betting for his last two performances. 
He showed promise as a juvenile last year and continued this trend in two of three starts this year since returning to the track as a gelding. The last two at Pontefract, probably not quite getting the breaks when needed. 
I loved Perfect Symphony's most recent run a good month ago there over 6f, when travelling well but conceding first run by the eventual winner while he had to wait for the gap to open and show some elbows to go through, yet he found plenty once in the clear. 
Step up to 7f for the first time should suit on pedigree, his sire has a really good record over this trip and the dam raced over further. He seems to settle well in his races so over-exuberance shouldn't be an issue here. 
Selection:
Perfect Symphony @ 8/1 Bet365

Thirsk 3:45 Eternalist @ 11/1 bet365 e/w thanks

Eternalist.....from Jim Goldie yard the 4yo is breed by Johnnie Delta Racing which is part of Jim Goldie set up and yard gave her first run last August last year as 3yo with her having 8 runs so far and being a winner at 5f on good to firm ground here in June this year and so far she's had three place finishes as well ,

He first ran in class 4 company over 6f when 5th at Doncaster maiden but since then she's been running in class 5 over 5f with all those place finishes and the win in class 6 , Although going up in class that would not bother me as Jim has a habit of getting the best out of his horses in big handicap races south of the border and with him breeding it he'll want to see it going well with Patrick Mathers in saddle

4.45 Ayr: Class 3 Handicap, 1m 2f
Kentuckyconnection has won only once in fourteen attempts however showed promise when finally dropped to a more realistic mark the last two outings. He contested Group races earlier in his career and was fifth in the 2000 Guineas last season, a result that flattered him, as a consequence he had to race beyond his actual capabilities.
He can build on a strong runner-up performance at Newcastle in June, dropping in class while stepping up to 10f again. It's his first realistic attempt over this distance and on pedigree looks possible. Cut in the ground, as long as it does not become bottomless, should be okay. 
Graham Lee on board is in red hot form is a bonus. Kentuckyconnection has only to repeat his last two efforts to have a big say in the outcome of this race and as such is a big price. 
Selection:
10pts win - Kentuckyconnection @ 11/1 Bet365

7.10 Windsor: Class 3 Handicap, 1m 2f
Don't Give Up looks rock solid and in this field very hard to beat. He's lightly raced with a strong pedigree and won well on debut at Kempton's All-Weather. He followed up with a strong Handicap debut when runner-up at Newmarket.
Stepping up in trip is sure to suit him and there is potentially plenty of improvement left in him-. Only one other 3yo to fear in the field, I expect Don't Give Up to use his WFA allowance to full advantage.

10pts win - Don't Give Up @ 15/8 Bet365

Great write up and a winner, what more do they want 

4.15 Chester
Kimberella 9/4 Bet365/Skybet
Class act on his day and improved since he joined Richard Fahey its fair to say. Ignore his last run out in Sweden where he came last and judge him on his close third at Newcastle in Group company. He goes well with a bit of cut and has a good draw in box 4 so he can take up an early position just on the heels of the leaders. He should be able to pounce with a furlong to run. (hopefully)
