shergar cup dash 12.55 asc justice day 99.23 boom the groom 99.17 double up 99.07 green door 99.07 tough little race ...double up is clear fav but looks very exposed to me off top weight and there must be something to take him on ....green door is a dark horse ...has loads of talent but cant be trusted ....he could spring a surprise and bounce back but overall his ascot form looks poor and no value in his price so ill have to omit ....justice day looks an interesting horse ....isnt badly treated overall and could run well .....same can be said of boom the groom who is a capable horse on his day and last run suggested hes not far off his best so maybe hes coming into form at perfect time and trainer had glut of winners yesterday so that bodes well .....overall at 7/1 and 12/1 they are the value calls so im happy to play justice day 5 pts win 7/1 bet365 boom the groom 5 pts win 12/1 corals

130 asc stayers cup communicator 99.35 purple spectrum 99.27 teak 99.18 this could all hinge on the well being and fitness of communicator who will need to be at his best to take this but balding is a man who can do that and off a mark of 90 he looks very well treated .....dark horse is purple spectrum who ran a cracker last but one and then ran an absolute stinker next time at ascot .....previous run would give him sound chances so if forgiven his last run then his 12/1 price is far too big ...... communicator 5 pts win 6/1 paddyp purple spectrum 5 pts win 12/1 corals
