Always enjoy day one.
St. James Palace - Lancaster Bomber E/W if the 8 run. 28/1, never been beaten far on good ground or better. Coventry - Like Brother bear, might drift further in the morning. Open race but finding negatives for most of the rest. Zaman E/W also. Windsor Castle - Declarationofpeace - ground will suit, good opening run, easy second run. missed better prices - don't think 7/2 will last either, been well backed. marchingontogether E/W Good luck! |

Day 2.
2:30 - Le Brivido to outclass the rest. Spirit of Valor an interest at big prices. 3:05 Mrs Gallagher 14/1. C+D on similar going from 3 next time out winners. Interesting to see the fav after all the hype. 3:40 hard to see any superstar here. Taking a chance on Turret rocks 33/1. Has ran admirably at group 1 level, trip worry and her long term target is Yorkshire oaks over 1 M 4 F. 4:20 Highland Reel seems to have most consistency of the field. 11/4 |

never did the forecast!
Horses drawn higher seemed to fair better in the first although Parfait went a strong pace. Bet in the next drawn 1 unfortunately. |

Day 3
2:30 - Consequences 14/1 - horse he beat lto ran well yesterday, drawn low possible negative. Gift in time/Pilkington big price alternatives in open looking race. 3:05 - Irishcorrespondent - Form of Irish Guineas holding up well, hoping extra distance and better ground will bring some improvement. 3:40 - Astronomys choice 12/1. Two encouraging runs, well backed lto on only second start. Will be cheering on Naughty or nice unless its head to head with my fancy! |

Day 4:
Difficult to be confident of which side the jockeys will race on, hunch is low draw again today. 2:30 E/W black sails. No big fancy today so having smaller bets on intelligence cross and roly poly. O'briens War Fronts have improved for the firm ground this week. gl all. |
