    Thought Megalithic would be a lot shorter
    Had excuses last time – late foal and soft ground but have to side with the Wealth Manager on fav New Charter in Woodcote

    No Epsom 2yo races today :-(

    Lets try last years then in the h/c opener

    Blake and Grey Cuban to place and give Pompey most to think about!

    * * *

    Is Clutterbuck usually so unconvincing in the finish? :-(

    Not expecting much pace in the upcoming Weatherby fillies maiden – don’t see any of them really relishing good ground. Miss Hathaway May not win but she’s a bit of value if she’s anyway smart like her sire.

    * * *

    4th not too bad but wrong about the pace :-(

    Has to be on the firm side of good with that time!

    Maw Lam looks a decent price to me as fav at 7/2 – decent race she won last time in Thirsk

    Have my doubts whether Powerful Lady will get home up that stiff hill

    * * *

    Fav slow out of stalls :-(

    125/1 Winner :scratch:

    Zilzal me old pal
    Any thoughts on the Salisbury race
    New Charter ran a stormer on debut with the winner now a very sparkling hot shot for Royal Ascot
    next up at Epsom she lost the race at the start after getting sandwiched out the stalls
    The dilemma is stable jockey Sean Levey rides An Outlaw’s Grace who makes his debut… Both are 7/4 top price
    Levey must rate the newcomer as the better horse whilst New Charter has a bit more experience
    I’m incline to leave it.. :scratch: :unsure:

    Nathan, its June 16th, its just about high Summer now so the only winner today is Great Outdoors, before the rain at least! Hard enough to decide on Euro ’24, GAA football and the French Oaks without the 4.00 2yo Novice event in Salisbury!

    That Chantilly race should carry a Hughes Wealth Warning with all the blanket finishes it produces over the years. Tricast “Bum Steer” for what it’s worth

    1) Candala – even though jockey booking is a negative around here!
    2) Tamfana
    3) Rock ‘n Swing

    Unlucky with that corner bet the other night, seems to me a lot of teams studiously avoid corners presumably because of resulting injury possibilities

    There was another corner but the ref and assistants didn’t see the touch off the Scottish player late on
    cest le vie… :cry:

    Must be bit of value about Hammer the Hammer. Gimcrack entry and proximity to Aysgarth last time might indicate decent effort despite slow time. New jockey Eaves might be best for him to make all to burn off jolly on his debut.

    Facile Win by fav :-(

    Arabian Angel wouldn’t have to be anything special to win FTO – will like the ground but wide draw may not be ideal and 6f plenty long enough so for some value will give Cape Sovereign and Diablo Rojo a chance v the field

    Taking Billboard Star to finish in first three@ 5/6

    Should be a match with the striking Viking penalty kicker

    * * *

    Checked out of 3rd place :-(

    Not clear to me with my limited knowledge why Consolidation is a clear favourite – no doubt about to find out! Meanwhile happy to oppose him with 2nd fav Spell Master and the Master Murphy @ 7/2

    Mugged of half my winnings on the line by highway robber Rossa Ryan :wacko:

    Would expect newcomer Midnight Thunder to be shorter than 7/4 if he was a good thing in a weak looking race. 11/10 Our Mighty Mo in first two my preference

    * * *

    Fav gave it away at start
    Mo impeded on the rail from trying to place

    Not sure stepping up to 7f is best for Ellaria so took the 7/4 about debutant Anna but out to 15/8 :-(

    Kingscote will need to take charge if the first couple of furlongs are sluggish

    Considering a small “saver”

    Let’s chance Peaceful Spirit’s inexperience 4/1 and Balayaged’s experience 6/1 against the field. Captivate could be as much a danger as the other two favs.

    * * *

    Well at least got more of a run for my money from the debutante than from Johnston’s filly :-(

    Guessers alley with these unraced 2yo. Can’t see the middle distance ones tearing down the hill FTO so I’m going to give the possibly speedier ones a chance against the field

    Nightwalker 11/4

    Marchigon 11/2

    * * *

    Glad I pinned that one up very late :-(

    Nightwalker should have been named Jaywalker!

    “Good” form in fillies contest as opaque as ditch water. Hunch is to forgive Ecology her last outing. So it’s 100/30 W/Fav for me.

    * * *

    Never a factor :-(
    At least knew it was an open race
