    My biggest fancy this week is Biggles. A real slow burner, but he’s just rock solid in these races, and I’m fairly confident he can go close. Temptation was to go EW, but as he’s a bigger bet, I’ve went win only, and hopefully I’ll get chance to claw stakes back.

    I’m sticking with one at the moment, but it’ll be very hard to leave out Ropey Guest, and I’ll no doubt have a sentimental on him

    I’m also hoping Biggles will be flying home Bobby.
    He’s only 9/1 with Paddy Power at the moment. Will wait till the morning to back him.
    He made up some good ground to finish 2nd last time out to Rebel Territory with quite a
    few of these behind him.

    Rhoscolyn has shown little since running 3rd in this last year however this looks to have been the plan with him well down the handicap this year , he,s also been well backed so he,s my play

    Biggles
    Baradar (becoming a cliff horse)
    Totally Charming, under last night’s treble winning Billy Loughnane. Make the 3lbs count, Billy!

    Spencer gets a lot of criticism most of it fair but I love his riding style

    I enjoy watching Spencer ride , you know what you get with him he likes riding for luck but can adapt well . Hes got me a few nice collects over the years . Three of his best imho .
    1 ) went midweek Lingfield late winter many years back , Spencer would have been early in career . Was riding horse called Silvertown for Barney Curley . I thought right double my money plus interest cover some costs . He cruised upsides , won a head without moving . Formline says ” cleverly ” . More to point the horse beaten a head formline reads ” no chance with winner ” .
    2) Side Glance 2013 Mackinnon at Flemington for Andrew Balding . Decent odds , broke slow , pulls a bit . Spencer adapts goes forward and rides the Ozzie jocks to sleep , kicks at perfect point off bend and holds on , perfection !!
    3) Crystal Mile 2019 Moonie Valley Chief Ironside , big odds round tight circuit times his run to perfection and noses it on line again showing the OZ jocks how it done on their turf.
    A seriously good jockey imho
