At work next few days so rating a few races early while I have time 

Symphony stakes 

Culturati    322

Gracious john   320

Final venture  320 

Tis marvellous   316

El astronaut   316 

Tis marvellous and el astronaut are classy but looked exposed in such a competitive race ...culturati is hard to assess ....only one run which is huge negative.....but big yard and previous course form a big plus...and high draw ......otherc2 also are priced up far bigger than actual chance ....value bets 

Gracious john 10pts win 14/1 365

Culturati 10pts win 10/1 betv

Final venture 10pts win 12/1 bet365

530 Worcester

One For Billy 9/4 Coral

Won twice over hurdles last year and already matched that over fences. Won at Perth last time and has been hammered by the handicapper as a result. Pulled out of a race recently and might just about get away with this.
