Start Right. Number 60 I think though? Although I think I looked and seen that lower rated horses have got in the last few years...

I've got it down to about 20 Laugh, loads of these are in my notebook list. The likes of Beachfire, Con Artist and Caldercruix for example.

I read somewhere they were thinking of stepping Beachfire up to 1m4f, runs like he needs it...although the furious pace at 1m1f will suit, like it did Pipedreamer who had also only got to the front inside the final furlong over 1m2f on his previous start.

Taqleed is another,lightly raced and improving.

That's my thinking rhinestone. Same with Caldercruix, a horse which likes a bit of cut and is still very green in his running style, needing a good gallop to run up to and then challenge without really knowing it's in a battle. Either that or it's not as good as I think, which is very possible

Turnip, I like him too. He won well last time at Newmarket. He's very well bred and has loads of potential. Only thing is, Gosden has a few entered for this and I'm just worried he won't run him in it.

Thought Beachfire would need further than 10f myself, Fancied Forte Dei Marni for this event for a awful long time as a 9f cavalry Charge would be up its street, Now its come back down a couple of pounds you couldnt ignore Tartan Ghiga's 9f form either

Agree about Tartan Gigha zilzal, but I never ever get Johnston horses right

Taken from Luca's site, i would wait on Forte for this reason

Forte Dei Marmi is probably due a fall next time judged on his form figures since reappearing in 2009 but it’s significant in our eyes that two of his lesser performances this year have come at York where the surface is inclined to get a bit loose on top and the official going descriptions, or those reported by the riders in general, don’t tally with the opinions provided by our own version of the ‘going stick’ which has served us well for many years. Back away from York, Forte Dei Marmi returned to winning ways with his best performance and from a handicapping perspective probably deserved the small rise in the weights that he has been given as a result. With Australia Day and Opera Gal taking each other on in front, he got the strong pace that suits him ideally and the manner in which he finished his race, going away at the finish, put to bed any doubts that he is a doubtful stayer at a mile and a quarter. His next objective, as it was probably always going to be anyway, is the Dubai Duty Free Heritage Handicap at Newbury, where he won earlier in the season, but any plans beyond that will have to wait until we see how he runs and how the handicapper responds. If he runs at Newbury, he won’t run in the Cambridgeshire – we tried that route with Monte Alto and he wasn’t the same horse afterwards.


Redal, i back quite a few Johnstone horses(never when they are short though) i think Below Zero will go close at Donny on Wednesday, and that Thebes will be winning again quite soon(preferably in a smaller field over 7f)

MM, just thought that Buick took it wide to get a run there at Goodwood last time under a lot of urging, dont know if he can do it instantly as he may get stopped in a 9f charge, trainers knows how to win it though
By:

When: 05 Sep 10 20:25
Presumably Gosden, Johnston and others with multiple entries will wait and see what is going best nearer the time. I also am looking carefully at trainers like Simcock who has entries which haven't run for some time presumably to protect their mark.
