GEO GEOMETRY
Both win
Irish raider for John McConnell takes on last year’s winner.
Sole runner over from Ireland Oisin Orr the jockey.
Higher Kingdom runs off a career low here having won a novice stakes race for David O’Meara off mid 80s.Brighton 4.25
KING CRIMSON
each way
Lost out by a short head from the same stall in this contest last year.
Has been backed on his last couple of runs and has slipped below a last winning mark of 52 in those runs. Yard impossible to second guess though….
No doubt aimed at this race now and capable jockey holds the reins.Mussleburgh 4.40
Smart Lass

Multiple course winner and going well when last seen.
Returns from a break chance of taking this if fit.WINDING RIVER

No one wants to be backing a horse that fell with your money last time….
Winding river was travelling like a dream coming to the second last. To be fair want jumping fluently up to that point.
But looked all over the winner between fences.
The fall was dramatic.
before that was fifth to ambitious fellow and third to na Cath tabac following a win so bang on form leading up to last run.WINDING RIVER

#and that is why no-one wants the last time faller. Pulled up.

Tipperary 6.45Six winners a 40/1 third and crimson king just pipped at the post for the second year running. A winner for the soul selection as well courtesy of Henry De Bromhead and Racheal Blackmore. So fair to say back to form in August. Maybe just one more selection, with hopefully a tad more notice……

Rick Dalton
For Ger Lyons looks the likely winner here.
But an interesting long standing maiden reappears.
I know I can has placed numerous times and actually won on second start but tested positive for a prohibited substance so remains a maiden.

So ended with seven good winners.Doncaster’s first helping of the racing league the other night showed that there are some great lines to follow.
Any comparisons made with the competition on show today at Ascot are just that and team racing throws up plenty of questions.

A race full of big race entries.
Two impressive debutantes may just hold the edge with their experience.The Curragh 2.05

Joanna mason has an opportunity to showcase her ability on a horse who has a great draw and good record at ascot at a big price.On a bare day for me so far this is a double post given that I’ve already put this runner up on the soul selection thread.
The Curragh 2.40
I do fancy the newcomer
CAIRO
Win
To make a big impression on debut.
Aidan O’Brien had the mare of the sire and the two year old line is highly precocious as she was a juvenile winner by a wide margin and the sire is a high quality us bred. Entered up and while they come on for a run this doesn’t look too deep a race. Given they have had to wait to introduce this horse I’d like to think there is an element of readiness now.CAIRO
Showed the bare margins between success and failure.
Got going late and when the penny dropped came home well. Never going to be pressed too hard and gives the yard plenty to work with. Certainly very well forward as expected and split the only two previously placed runners in the field.Newmarket 4.20
LOVE DE VEGA
Can bring up a four timer for the Johnston stable here. Good win here last week after a year off. Provided no bounce from then looks good to follow up.4.51
NewmarketSPINAROUND W/O BAY OF HONOUR
Spinaround was bumped at the start previously and having run well here before can give bay of honour most to do.

Each way
Dropped back to 6f for first time since winning at Dundalk off this mark.
Down to the mark in just three runs.
Drawn in stall 12. This race won from stall 11 last year with one more runner in the field. Draw has favoured high stalls in this race averaging at 14.25 winning stall over four runs.The Curragh 5.25
BIG GOSSEY
Win.

WinBIG GOSSEY really deserves after consecutive runner up in big races.
Killbeggan 7.55
Na Caith Tobac
Comes here fresh from a spin on the flat at Galway. He gets a ton of weight from course specialist jack Hackett and should give him most to do. He is two from three in chases.

Foreshadow

Best of a bad bunch.
Good neck second to captain Kane best form on show here. Distant second last time to in form David Evans runner last time.
———————————————-
SPINAROUND in the win without market and a brilliant run by BIG GOSSEY the only actual winner the only successes.
Na Caith Tobac a good second the closest.
