Race 1) Teolane. By Teofilio out of Masnada Bolger breeding through and through. She made all to win a nice conditions race at Naas on Bank Holiday Monday. Stable in form.
Race 2) Alexander Pope. This was one of WMFB type of winners from the O'Brien stable on Guineas week-end. Ryan Moore was put on the original fav to fool Joe Soapp and then the money came for this one from 6's into 3's and under an accomplished ride from O'Donoghue won well.
Race 3) Together. Ryan Moore will learn from his debut ride on this one in the Irish Guineas. This one has no speed, just grinds it out and hopefully the pace in the race will be fast to blunt the finishing speed of the closers.
Race 4) Lost In The Moment. Young Barcelonza is one of the finds of the season and will be a plus on this 10 furlong specialist. It will come on for his English seasonal debut at chester.
Race 5) Regent Street. This is a most imposing horse. I backed him on his seasonal debut at 66/1 when O'Brien had three in the race but he found the Bolger super star Banimpire too good that day. And we all know what this filly has achieved since.
Race 6) Lay the jolly. That's what I am going to do in this impossible to choose lottery.

I'm keen on this one. Been in top class company this season. 1/2L second to Banimpire in the Ballysax on his seasonal debut and then last time out was 3rd in the derrinstown, the winner and second both O'Briens ran in the Epsom Derby. Fair form to bring to the table. The only question is will he stay the extra for 2miles. His pedigree suggest he will.

Teolane didn't seem to come out great but why did Manning not cover her up instead of keeping her on the outside when she seemed to be doing too much too early

Very unexposed and seems like the sort of horse that Stoute knows isn't good enough for the classics so has been aimed at this instead.

Taking on the jolly in the next with Godolphin's Lost In The Moment. Won a 9f Hcp (worth £24K) on Soft ground at NMK back-end of last year and seems a decent sort who doesn't like sand (or tapeta) - last 5 form figures ignoring AW surfaces read 11212 (prev 3 are **** but I'm prepared to forgive them)

I'm going to go with Quschi here (see Man from Atlantis thread below)
Won her maiden on GS ground and has been running on at the end of her races so hopefully the extra distance will see her placed anyway (please not fcuking 2nd again though - 3rd I can handle)

Decent day so far with Nathaniel and Immortal Verse but gave a good bit of it back on the last, Solar Sky looks like it should stay and go on the rain softened ground so i've had a bit on here
