I have been conservative with the rating for Hotazhell . I suspected that my figures for Windlord and Trinity College were too high and adjusted them but it could be argued that they were correct and that would put Hotazhell out on his own here . Unlikely but not impossible

Be careful here since Ballet Slippers was very good on her second start but put in a laboured performance when winning . Her rating for her win would have her at the bottom of the page .

Lake Victoria 0 7f
Lake Victoria +5 6f
Babouche +6
Leovanni +7
Daylight +8
Arabian Dusk +8

Much is being made of the fact that Babouche beat colts last time . If you check the form you will see that Whistlejacket might have two ways of running .Edit Ouch , I thought Victoria's 2nd run was over 6f .

What price would Whistlejacket be in this race ? Billboard Star was not far behind that horse at Newmarket .

Sosie looks to be terrible value . Watch his last run , he moves as if he was trained for that day . Delius looked awkward , rusty or both but still looks poor value here .
I like the look of Survie for an e/w punt at big odds . She won two back end events as a baby . She had two months off before running down the field behind Bluestocking . She goes on soft and looks to have been aimed at this race . On the debit side she seems to find trouble but we can't have everything at 40/1 . Good luck .

Friday afternoon and Exactly is 16/1 . Ten runners so unlikely to be a short field . Not without a chance of winning and has Soumillon in the plate . She looks like e/w value to me .
As an aside I have just watched Dave Massey on YouTube.  Most of the " pro punters " interviewed are just chancers .   Massey said it as it is , " nobody can call themself a pro punter if they have a job " .
Well said Massey .

Lake Victoria might end up as top 2 y o . She is a proper Cushie Butterfield .
EDIT An "expert " on the Internet said " Lake Victoria could be useful ." . This after he had shown her winning a very good Group 1 .

From The Melrose I have had to improve three horses by 8, 9 and 5 pounds . Wild Waves did not have the best of runs in that event and could be e/w value here .

A meehan horse in a filly's nursery is not a great idea but the top one here should be no bigger than 12/1 and is on offer at 33/1 .

The figure I have for the top chap is provisional . If correct he would likely be top 2 y o . I would prefer it to be a few pounds lower but it is the only rating I can arrive at . Bred to be a champion he has some nice entries including Leopardstown this weekend .
