Ozone Layer

Running Profit for May 25 points - April profit was 22.5 points

Toto Skyllachy could not defy the weight pull with Caragold but gave it a good go and the pair pulled clear - another example of where I should have backed them both or done an exacta. Each way meant in reality no harm done but, due to heavy support late on, the sp was 10/3 and I will record a loss of 0.5pts.

There was an amazing plunge on Quixote. After touching 20/1 on here it was backed into 5/1 joint favourite. It was only a minimum bet for me on a quite day but a few punters must have really fancied it. One to watch next time perhaps.

3.00 YORK   - The Cheka 0.5pt win  - Restiadargent 0.5 pt win

I prefer Mayson over Hoof It today but both are a bit too short so I will waste a point and take them both on with a couple that represent better value. The Cheka did beat Mayson first time out so is a worthy challenger but I would have liked a lower draw. The French three year old Restiadargent will handle the surface and could also provide an upset.

3.55 LINGFIELD - Tawaasul - 3 pts win

The Haggas yard is in good form and I was pleasantly surprised to see this one available at 15/8 due to the strength of the Knight horses and also Sir Mike. This horse is well entered up, ran well on debut last year and should take this.

5.05 LINGFIELD - Knightly Escapade - 1 pt win

I  am very keen to take on Kangaroo Court here and it was a question of Knightly Escapade or Star Commander. I decided against the latter due to the extra trip but it should suit Knightly Escapade provided he is fit which is an unknown. Currently 6/1 so worth taking a chance.


Good luck today - all comments appreciated
