1.15 Ascot - 1pt e/w Highland Chief @ 14/1 Bet365

Interesting runner for an in-form yard. Have to forgive his most recent run when not going with much fluency and well beaten in a Group 2 but if ignoring that, his form bodes well for this. His run behind Pinatubo is top notch and managed to beat a good horse over 5f on debut which is some going considering this one's pedigree. Slight concern that he even ran over 5f to say he's now going up to 1m2f but on pedigree should be absolutely fine (dam was a middle distance type) and has really strong form in the book from his first two runs.

1.50 Ascot - 2pts win Fox Tal @ 7/2 Bet365

Sir Dragonet is disappointing and have to take him on - Fox Tal is the obvious choice, consistent type, conditions fine, form in the book and goes well fresh. Not much more to say really.

2.25 Ascot - 2pts win Monarch of Egypt @ 5/1 Bet365

Shame about the forecast weather as I'd be all over Molatham like a rash on better ground but it's going to be too soft for him I think, whereas Monarch of Egypt is more versatile and still has good form in the book. Even his average run behind Pinatubo at Newmarket reads fairly well here and ran well on his return in the Irish 2000 Guineas - drop back to 7f no problem and there looks to be a good amount of pace in the race today which will set it up perfectly for him.

3.00 Ascot - 1pt win First Prophet @ 7/1 Bet365

Clearly a lot of noise about the O'Brien horse but I'll let him win at that price. They usually improve a lot on debut runs and the step up in trip helps but it didn't blow me away like he was a superstar in waiting but we'll see. Obviously a tough race to call with not a lot of form to go off but the second favourite won in a blanket finish really so whether that was a great race is up for debate, the third made all at Newmarket when there was a pace bias so another one worth taking on so I'm with First Prophet. Visually the best performance of this field when winning on debut, travelling powerfully, green when picking up but won decisively and hit the line well. Put some distance between the field and there were some decent types in that field on paper. 

4.10 Ascot - 0.5pts e/w Starcat @ 16/1 and 1pt win Enemy @ 17/2 Bet365

Can't split these two and with them drawn on opposite sides, I'm going to play both. Starcat's debut win at Kempton reads very well and suggests he's on a good mark here. Ran really well in the Guineas on just his second start, up with a strong pace for a long way and should set him up for this. Draw not ideal based on this week's results so far but worth chancing. Enemy's debut form also reads well when winning here over 7f, looks off a decent mark on that win and although disappointing on his return, that will have brought him on and the step up to a strongly run mile will be bob on. 

4.40 Ascot - 1pt e/w Soffika 10/1 Bet365

African Dream is well in but another I'll let win that that price. Pedigree doesn't scream a mile on soft ground so simply based on that won't be backing in a big field at 15/8. Soffika looks interesting for Sir Michael Stoute - he doesn't have many first time out winners so this one's comfortable success at Pontefract was reason to sit up and take notice. Ran excellently in the Sweet Solara when staying on, splitting two rivals who've gone on to do well since and on that evidence, is on a good mark and the step up in trip suits. Have to hope the favourite flops but this one has a big chance for me.

Wow what a run from Stradivarius; that's how an odds on favourite should win

Two winners today and I thought I was in with a shout for a Trixie until Geetanjali ran a stinker of a race.  Still, it was raining hard so who could blame the horse for not wanting to run its race.  Sootability did run well for me but didn't win.

The single bets yielded a net profit of £4 so the C/Fwd balance is £364.90 from a £400 Bank

The Multiples yielded a double for £12.19 therefore £8.19 profit.  Balance C/Fwd £614.48 (£800 Bank)

brilliant ....... a real 'wow' !

that Geetanjali let me down as well ...... I thought he was being held up at the back to surge through the field but he was just being left behind !

I must admit this was more of a gut feeling having had some losers in sprints with Frankie running. I have therefore analysed his performance over the last few 4 years and I think I owe him an apology !

In 5 and 6 furlong races he has had 43 winners from 195 runners with a LSP profit of 90.40 points at BSP. This return of 46% is better than his overall return, which is still a very healthy 18%.

If you had backed him when he was in the top 3 in the betting you would have lost money but if you had backed all his other runners you would have had 34 winners form 321 runners with a LSP of 193.11 points.

He has also made a profit of at least 25 points in each of the last 4 years.

I think I am starting to warm to Frankie !

A note of caution, his only losing month has been July although August has been his most profitable month.
