A nightmare since it looks like the winner was the only one to turn up.
Clearly he is better than ever so perch him on a provisional 172.

In the Sodexo the winner goes up two and key from revised figure.
Saphir Du Rheu ran to a decent level. There could just be a decent chase in the horse yet. If I owned him I would have Robbie Dunne on him next time.

CORRECTED : I read a 3 as an 8 . My apologies , a cataract is giving me problems.

The figure for Blaklion is provisional.
Best of luck , I will watch with interest.

If that is Champion Sprint form mine's a bloater! It makes most sense to key from Don't Touch who might have run to his best.

Almanzor 131+
What did he actually do? Found ran below her best , understandably , and the key could well be My Dream Boat.
Postponed is on 132+.

The filly is good for a little more as she had run her race a fair way out.

There must be some value in there somewhere! What about Breton Rock at 66/1 for a little e/w flutter?

The rain could arrive on Friday and that would give Mecca's Angel a great chance here. I see no reason why she would not stay 6f.
Donjuan Triumphant might be the value if he gets a run. If he is an Autumn horse , and they do come along from time to time , he should figure.
Limato is poor value and the books will be out to get him.
Don't Touch should not be dismissed.
Dean's horse will be very popular but there is no value in its present price.The same applies to Shalaa.

Mecca's Angel 135
Limato 132
Take Cover 126
Cotai Glory 125

A smashing performance.


And that is it from me. Good luck.

Pearl Secret +8+

The going is all important here . Pearl Secret is overpriced at 50/1. He finds trouble but on his day he could go close to winning this. Come what may the ground will not worry him.
Cotai Glory is another to consider for e/w purposes.
Yalta could have been put in higher but I was not as impressed with his last run as some observers.
A cracking race in prospect.

A very good race. Take Cover gets his rating from his Haydock win. He was the only horse seriously supported that day in what looked a tricky race. If you believe the form then he has a chance.
Pearl Secret could figure at a big price. If the rain sets in Goldream might as well stay at home but Ajaya will cope. I will give Ajaya another chance.
