6:20 Epsom HATS OFF TO LARRY. 7/1 General
Been running well this Summer winning twice and run really well when 3rd at Chester latest. He is progressive and should handle this step up in trip.

4:20 Thirsk INVIOLABLE SPIRIT 5/2 Bet365
Has Scored on Heavy and Fast ground and forecast Storms should not dent his chance should the heavy rain arrive. Ran well at York last time and this improving type should be spot on Today.

1:50 Newbury DESERT ENCOUNTER 9/2 Bet 365 WH
Has run some good races in listed company, A good 3rd in Eclipse + a win here in a Group 3 last September.. Another good run behind Poets Word in Brigadier Gerard, before falling below his standard last time again behind Poets Word Group 1 Race.(Prince of Wales) He was eased and something must have been amiss and return to Listed gives him a very good shout.

5:00 Nottingham SHAMAHEART 17/2 PP
C/D Winner who likes it around here. Has his quirks but probably a good opportunity to put that right. On a low mark and run well 2 start since here.
5:35 Newmarket DOUBLE REFLECTION 9/2 Bet365.
In good form and up 4lb for latest win. Could find Improvement and takes a drop in class
-
8:55 Fairyhouse NIGHT OF POWER 3/1 Bet365 Ladbrokes
Keeps the hood after a solid performance against a in form rival last time. Doubts about stepping up in trip but not many miles on clock and could improve for stepping up.
-
8:20 Worcester BUGSIE MALONE 9/4 PP WH
Ran down Field last time when contesting a Listed event at Uttoxeter at beginning of Month losing a shoe. Winner of 2 Handicap Chases this Spring and now reverts to Hurdles. Solid Chance of cashing in.
-
1:55 York ALPHA DELPHINI 5/1 Coral 9/2 General
Has run well in defeat all 3 starts this season and comes here 3lb better off. Solid Claims today.
3:45 Chester MIDNIGHT WILDE 7/1 Bet365.
Comes here stepping down in Grade after a excellent run in Ulster Derby last time trying a new trip. He got going late in the day and stayed on well. steps up in trip again and if this brings a bit more improvement to the table he could be bang there at the finish.
-
3:20 Yarmouth HOPE IS HIGH 4/1 PP
Run below last time but this is her track and won 4 from 5 under De Sousa. Ran well at Nottingham time before to suggest a good run should be on cards.
-
6.30 Bellowstown ISHEBAYORGRAY 4/1 Coral Ladbrokes.
Nowhere to hide from Handicapper but run such a good race first time up this Season and a reliable sort. That run will have done him world of good and should be thereabouts in this.
-
1:50 Windsor KIMIFIVE 6/4 WH Bet365
Can see this flip flopping with Tivoli before off. Won with a bit in hand last time here on Monday and is in good form. Drop in Grade from last week and with Tivoli probably better over 7 than 6, this could be a quick fire double on this Course.
-
9:10 Newcastle ORIENTAL LILLY 10/3 Bet365
Best for last as they say.
Gets a 3lb penalty for last weeks win on turf. It was a competitive event and she is in very good form. with 3 victory's on AW she must take some beating in this race.
-
6:00 Hamilton FOUR KINGDOMS 6/1 PP
Has to enter calculations dropping back in trip and class. Won 3 times when with Karl Burke and he is better than his last run for new yard, when looking like 2 mile was a bit beyond him.
-
2:10 Market Rasen QUANTUM OF SOLICE 13/8 PP
7Lb Penalty for last time win at perth but won that 5lb lower and only 2nd start for Fergal O'Brian. Only lightly raced could well follow up dropping in Grade.
3.55 Market Rasen AMORE ALATO 5/1 Bet365
Ran well on first start for this Stable at Newbury 3M 2F . Ran well also last time making good headway to the 5th last over 3M in a very competitive race at Uttoxeter. wind op latest and drop in Grade and trip on this easier track could be right up Amore's Street.
5.45 Down Royal DIXIE LEE 5/2 Bet365
C/D Winner last September but seemed to drop off towards backend. Encouraging 3rd last time at Listowel and does have ability and this track and small field could play to her strengths.
-
3:40 Ascot WILD ILLUSION 11/4 Coral PP Ladbrokes
Softer ground may suit her better but she as a winning chance in this race. She has run with real credit last 3 races (all Group 1s) and should take all the beating here.
4;20 Ascot STRADIVARIUS 9/4 Coral Ladbrokes
2017 Goodwood Cup winner and 3rd in the St Ledger. 3rd again to Order of St George on Champions Day. Always looked likely to be better this year and showed that in the Yorkshire Cup beating a good field quite easily. should be more to come from this smart colt.
-
3.00 York WEEKENDER. 11/4 General.
Went off to fast last time at Sandown with a step up to 2 miles. Did nothing wrong really and probably come up against a good one. With more patienctly ridden today could find the Answer. This fast going could be too quick for the fav.
-
3:30 York SEA FOX 14/1 EW
pulled up lame last time at Chester and if all’s well should show up well if repeating Ascot run time before.
4:05 York. AROD 6/4 General
Arod has found his form again this season since returning from Australia. Group winner in his younger days and won listed event at Windsor last time well enough. Likes it in front and should get a easy lead here.
8:25 Aintree SKEWIFF. 9/2 WH Ladbroke Bet365.
Ran her best race last time at Ffos Las beaten just 1L. 4LB rise for that effort ok and step up in trip No problems. She should be bang there at the Business end.
-
7:05 Leopardstown SMASH WILLIAMS 10/1 Bet365 WH
looked good first two runs of his career and took a decline from there on. Gelded in November last year he has returned a little better this year probably running his best race for a while last time out suggesting this step up to 7 could suit. It looks a difficult race to solve and a small bet on Smash Williams getting back on track in my selection
-
7:10 Kempton HINDE STREET 3/1 Bet365
won well on Debut and didn’t enjoy the steady pace last time at Thirsk. He did hold some good entries before that run at Thirsk and a lot better than that run another chance must be given back on AW.
-
6:20 Punchestown BALLYOISIN 1/1 Bet365
most impressive last time in a grade 3 contest. Looks to be heading into Grade 1 company. Trip, Ground in favour and Drop in Grade makes the even money look over priced.
-
9:10 Southwell. WISTARI ROCKS 10/1 General
Wistari Rocks has not seen a lot of racing, but returns to the track on a good mark with Richard Johnson on board and He also runs really well when fresh. Could be a interesting runner

I took him as a winner too! TY!!
It was a good run down centre. He had a bad draw but he was pushed into a good position as soon as gates opened.

Well done ...good call and nice price
Can’t believe I backed out and went E/W.. I am happy with photo call though because I don’t get a lot of luck in photo’s. Happy with result.

8:40 Ponty HIGHLY SPRUNG 12/1 Bet365, Coral, WH, PP
Highly Sprung comes here with a little to find on form book. He has had 2 runs for Les Eyre's since switching from Mark Johnston. He is however a bit better over 6 than 7 and is a C/D Winner, and yard is in Form. Going E/W as he does carry more Negatives than Positives but everything in place for a good run.

3:35 Galway TRUFFLES 3/1 Bet365
won well at start of week here and although 6lb penalty Apprentice off sets that and given the decisive fashion in which she won (although bad draw) could take the beating again.
8:50 Hamilton Chinese Spirit 7/1 PP
Been running well this season and gets the Ground he likes today. Got going too late last time and steps up 1/2 furlong also.
