Now that the non runners have made way for a reserve, still leaving a big field though of sixteen runners then the Lyons trained last time out winner Always Dancing looks to be in with a big shout. He won nicely at Killareny three days ago and now gets in here in what despite being still a big field is not a strong one. I've taken 3.9.

Two out of three yesterday and a nice return with it was pleasing. Tonight at Windsor I think that one that could give us another win for the blog is the Gerge Wood ridden and Don Cantilon trained gelding Hollywood Road. Since moving to this stable Hollywood Road has won five of his 15 races and been placed in five more. On good to firm Hollywood Road has never been unplaced and over the distance he has won 3 from 5. Finishing third in his last race in this grade doesnt perhaps look that great but when you consider that the two horses that finished in front of him were both three years olds that had the advantage of the weight for age allowance going for them then it looks an ok performance to me. George Woods has a cracking strike rate for the stable and with Hollywood Road trading at ...

Having a go on three today.
2.00 Troilet, banking on this one bouncing back to form at Perth today, taken 2.6 on Betfair.
3.50 Bestwork, best performance of his career when winning last time out, turn out quickly before being reassessed, 3.4 taken on Betfair.
5.30 Sky of Stars looks like an improving four year old finsishing second in first time blinkers last time out and hopefully they will have the same effect today and he can go one better, 3.65 taken here.

Haven been gelded over the winter seems to have had the desired effect for the Kieth Dalgleish trained Inglorious. He ran a cracker last time out, first since being gelded, attitude certainly a big improvement on last season, Rowan Scott had him quite wide that day and would have finished closer but for that. He gets in here off the same mark in a race that looks slightly easier than his last task. Given luck in running he shuld be bang there at business end of the race. The eary 3/1 has all gone, best I could get was close though, 3.95 on Betfair.

This one doesnt come across immediately as a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver, back down in grade from winning a Class five last time out to a Class 6 at Yarmouth taking four attempts in handicaps to break his duck, but this afternoon in the 4.55 race the gelding has a 7lb claimer in the saddle to negate a 7lb penalty for his win over course and distance six days ago and also has the weight for age advantage that three years old get in these races so at overnight odds of 2.06 and 2.08 for Turning Gold I reckon were about right, time will tell.
