    Anyone had a look at Billy Ray? Looks unexposed given expected conditions and hopefully ridden more patiently

    If you ignore that Ascot run Mark, then I’d definitely give him a chance.

    Excellent run behind Withhold, and also an encouraging run here in The Summer.

    When you look at Buildmeupbuttercup’s nk second to Kastasa, giving her lots of weight, it really does look strong form. Those two didn’t finish on their own so it’s probable the form shouldn’t be taken that literal. I still quite like Great White Shark for this, but i’ll wait and see nearer the time.

    My knowledge of the flat is very poor to say the least. Just like my national hunt racing really. :unsure: However picked 2 against the field here. Buildmeupbuttercup is my win selection odds not justify each way support. Did consider him for the Ebor but notice he was too low down so extremely unlikely to make the final field. He was a bit of a fun bet with on the lounge section the was a topic of top ten records.

    My other bet was Who Dares Wins. A course and distance winner at 25/1 worth each way.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    Time To Study looks like a good bet at around 16/1.

    The trainer loves a tilt at this and although he’s never won it his horses are often on the premises.
    He seems to have got the horse coming back to his best since his transfer from Mark Johnstons but is still 10lbs or so below his peak rating and with the top apprentice, Cieron Fallon, taking off another 3 could be very well handicapped.

    He’ll love the ground and only finished 3 lengths behind BuildMeUpButterCup over 2 1/2 at Ascot and is now 9lbs better off (including the claim).

    So he’ll do for me.

    Jack, I’m still in the same boat myself, I’m wanting to bet Great White Shark, but even with all those Mullins withdrawals, can’t be 100% he’ll head here.

    He seems to hate Ascot, VTC, and Channons strike rate there in recent years is appalling

    I’m surprised I’m considering one of his for a big race but there aren’t many I like at the head of the market, aside from the Balding horse

    I’m the same Mark, he’s not a trainer I go to for the bigger prizes too often, and his Barbill is the only one I can think of recently, but I wouldn’t be letting that put me off too much. Still think you’ve got an interesting one there.

    Willie Mullins has got his three jocked up.

    Dettori takes the ride on Buildmeupbuttercup, Jason Watson on Stratum, and I’m pleased to see Great White Shark with William Buick up.

    The price is holding with Great White Shark, so need to dive straight in, but I’ll keep an eye on it.

    Who Dares Wins ran a very good race against Group 1 company at Longchamp on Saturday finishing 7 lengths in fourth place on ground described as very soft . Alan (King) has said that he’s happy with WDW and that it was a very good run in France and that in future races he’ll be up 5 pounds so is technically well in.

    Just backed Great White Shark @ 10/1 & Eddystone Rock EW @ 25/1

    I like Great White Sharks profile for this. Bolted up with loads in hand LTO on the flat over 2m and his recent exploits over hurdles don’t leave me concerned as I expect those runs will have him ready with this being the plan.

    Eddystone Rock seems to have loved this step up in trip. Won easily at Ascot and came from way out the back to get up at York. The more he got going the more it looked like further would suit so he’s a must EW play in my book
