Dont follow flat as much as the jumps,only one meeting is Cheltenham for me. But will have few cracks at Ascot next week, have backed Reckless Abandon on here at 11 think it has cracking chance,bit of rain will help as well. Gregorian in Queen Anne at 60s and 50s for few quid, needs fav to underperform but otherwise some sort of chance in pretty poor race? Anyway good luck with punting this week,used to go but crap being on lower level now dont bother.
Really liked SIR JOHN HAWKINS debut victory, runner-up performed well since, when he had to learn an awful lot about racing, but still got home nicely in the end.
Happy to have RYAN MOORE up rather than JOB, I cant imagine anyone thinking that was a negative.
Once raced Debut Winners, have an excellent record in the Coventry Stakes, as does AOB, so at 13/2, he will do for me.
Others on Day 1 that could be worth a tickle include SWISS SPIRIT in the Kings Stand at 10/1, and JUSTIFICATION in the Long Distance Handicap race, at 13/2, it looks a hot heat, with Henderson and J J O'Neill both in with big chances, but I really liked this horses two runs, this year, the latter after a poor passage in the Chester Cup, and only beaten less than 5L.
What a 5 days its going to be, and C4 have ALL RACES LIVE, that's a first, and something I hope they do at the Cheltenham Festival.

Like Reckless Abandon and took 10/1 ante-post. Will back Saddlers Rock in the Gold Cup if the going is Good or better. And I like Eccleston in the Norkfolk but no prices available yet.

I was looking to oppose Stubbs in the coventry, he looked to have a very high action and made quite hard work of beating the hannon runner. I wouldn't have marked the same comment in the post as was written about him. I wanted to oppose him with another second string, Thunder strike as I thought the performance at Epsom was quite taking. Wouldn't be worried than Hughes has picked the other one. Stubbs is making the market which is nice

Think Gosden is going to have a big week. Expect Elusive Kate & Swiss Spirit to run big races tomorrow; The Fugue & Trade Commissioner on Wed. That is all based on the proviso no rain hits the track over the 1st 2 days.

My worry for looking beyond Wed is that big rain could easily hit the track on Thurs, alter the ground & ruin a lot of selections' chances & favour others.

noticeable how many Gosden has which are having their first run of the season, looks like he has targeted a lot of these races for a long time, Buick had 5 winners last year and the prize money must be a big factor in Gosden's thinking given his success in the trainer's championship last season.
Back to the thread subject - I like the look of Alive Alive Oh in the Ribblesdale on Thursday.

Hope Duntle can get a bit of cover from stall 1 . Would have preferred a middle stall, as she likes a bit of cover in her races & then use her turn of foot, stall 1 could be tricky. Had a few £££ on her 2day & fingers X all goes well. Gd luck 2day punters.
