6th & 1st @ 5\6 yesterday Jeudidee 20.40 Warwick 1 Pt Win @ 11\10 (bog) Jeu St Eloi gelding. Half-brother to fair French chaser Hozora. Dam maiden over hurdles/fences in France. Likely type.

Double yesterday 1st @ 13\8 & 11\8 Sugar Candie 21.00 Nottingham 1 pt Win @ 11\8 (bog) Maiden. Off 5 months, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft, 5/2) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. One to consider. Ring O Roses 17.30 Ballinrobe 1 Pt Win @ 4\7 (bog) Twice-raced maiden. Second of 13 in novice hurdle (6/5) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, just failing. Yard in good form. Bold bid expected. **Don't usually pick odds - on in this topic but Ring O Roses was my selection last night and with no BOG until this morning and Non Runners, will stick with him.

Pair of 4th's yesterday Bearwith 17.10 Redcar 1 Pt Win @ 13/8 (bog) Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 21 days ago, soon clear. 6 lb lower on turf so has to be taken very seriously. Fils D'Oudairies 16.30 Ballinrobe 1 Pt Win @ 6/5 (bog) Smart hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in March. Fell in Gr 3 chase at Killarney (20f, good, 11/2) 14 days ago, going well when falling heavily ninth. Clear chance on form if none the worse.

3rd & 2nd yesterday ( Mr Saturday prevented me from equalling my record of 6 winners in a row in Ireland) Exit to Where 15.00 Kelso 1 Pt Win @ 11\10 (bog) Improved to enhance excellent course record (won this last year) over 23.4f here recently and had a bit to spare, so makes plenty of appeal once more. Eziva 16.55 Curragh 1 Pt Win @ 5\2 (bog) Medaglia D'oro filly. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner), won Ballyroan and Blandford Stakes. Lots to like on paper.

3rd & 1st @ 11\10 yesterday Tre A Peni 20.25 Ffos Las 1 Pt Win @ 7\4 (bog) Ran creditably from 2 lb out of the weights when third in 17-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 21 days ago. Shortlist material. Mr Saturday 13.20 Curragh 1 Pt Win @ 2\1 (bog) Promising sort. Second of 9 in maiden at Naas (5f, good, 6/1) on debut 21 days ago, never nearer. Open to improvement and likely to make a bold bid to go one better here.
