Today's guess:

Your Pal Tal, 5.00 Curragh, 1pt EW

Was in tremendous form after re-joining Johnny Levins, completing a hat-trick at Dundalk earlier this year, and after a 4 month break, both turf runs this season have suggested there could be more to come, shaping better than the bare result at Navan where he didn't get a clear run, then last time at Down royal where he was noted going on nicely at the finish.

This looks a deal tougher and trap 1 is a potential negative, but a stiffer 5f and strong pace could suit, so gets today's guess.


Currently trading at 60 and available at 50-1 (5 places)

Thank you, saddo.

Well it started well, but then things soon took a turn for the worse, before taking a further dip in the middle of the month, and the less said about the past week or so, the better!

There's always next month...

This isn't strictly an out the ballpark guess as it's barely a double-figure price, so I could get done under the Trade Descriptions Act


Diamondsandrubies, 4.30 Curragh, 3 pts EW.

Following an impressive win in the Cheshire Oaks, she was an obvious eye-catcher in the Oaks, getting absolutely mullered when about to throw down a challenge, and doing well to get back up for 4th in the circumstances.

She's proving easy to back, perhaps doubts about the drop back in trip and quicker ground, but she did travel well in the Oaks, so not convinced the drop in trip will be against her, and as for the quicker ground, there's not enough evidence to conclude she doesn't handle it. So relative to the price of Legatissimo, will take my chances based on what I saw at Epsom.

Currently trading at 11 and 9-1 in places.
