I am lloking forward to seeing the BBC coverage tomorrow. I will miss James and Suzie's whimsical llok at the fashion's as I hear James is on gardening leave.
Race 1) Maybe. This one won a maiden at Naas (8/1) when not fancied. Now fit he ought to go close.
Race 2) Camponoligist. I am taking the view that Await The Dawn ( Giant's Causeway) won't go on the ground. This one stayed on very nicely against So You Think in the Grade 1 at the Curragh on Guineas week-end. Oh for a Harbinger who was my nap of the meeting last year.
Race 3) Bewitched. I bow to Sir Don who tipped this up on Newstalk last night. Wouldn't it be nice to Johnny associated with a Coolmore winner. I laid it at 9/2 at the Leop the last day and couldn't believe the turn of foot it showed in the last furlong and went on the fast ground too.
Race 4) High Standing. As one who likes CD horses I stopped here. With Ryan Moore on board we should get a good run.
Race 5) No selection. I will be cycling into the local during this lottery.
Race 6) Deutschland Lay up to 14/1. I backed this one in this race last year when Murtagh was winning all before him but he was the first horse beaten. i will lay it for a fiver to pay for the first pint.

Hope ATD wins as I have him tail ending my F&G dbl, also have him in an AP dbl with Bewitched.
Re: the Giants Causeway stats - they are skewed imo as he stands in Kentucky, and most of his US progeny are 8/9f dirt/fast gnd horses, we already know ATD handles soft. Saying that he is v short given the combo of going & trip.

Two for me today 1. Maybe . AOB has only run two 2 yo's at this years meeting-Power and this one. Clearly being selective and I expect this to make it 2 from 2. 2 Bewitched. Backed this in all her wins last season and she seems to be still improving .Run at Leopardstown over 7F when probably not fully wound up was good,will handle the ground and has won over C@D (NAP).
