    @FinalFurlong91
    Shame that Will Buick couldn’t get on board Dee Ex Bee FF he’s doesn’t have a ride in this and thought he might have wanted to ride Dubhe

    It is interesting to note that Dee Ex Bee bled form both nostrils after he ran 2nd to Stradivarius at York last year in the Lonsdale. Hopefully this won’t happen again but he’s worth taking on here. :good:

    Dubai Legacy 4.15 into 15/8 fav this morning so signs that he could run a big one today are positive. :good: still take nothing for granted though.

    Afternoon jac and all, looking forward to this afternoon’s racing :good:

    3.05 Loxley 10/1 betvictor

    I was a bit torn between Dream castle and Loxley, there was nothing between the two
    of them last time out. I’m hoping they go a good clip as Loxley has stamina on his
    side, but they normally do go off like scalded cats over there so I think he should
    be okay.

    3.40 Dubai Horizon 33/1 Paddy power

    I feel a bit of a turncoat deserting Universal Order, and I may well regret it as he
    looked to have won cosily last time out. I did note that Dubai Horizon was running on
    when he finished behind Universal Order earlier this month and although he was 8th he
    was just over 5L behind and there is a 12lb turnaround between the 2 in favour of DH.
    It’s a pity there aren’t 8 runners, but I’ll chance him E/W anyway.

    4.15 Assimilation 12/1 Paddy power

    I struggled with this race and Dubai legacy could be the one but he is short enough
    in the betting. This is all a bit new for Assimilation but he was getting the hang
    of it late on in his 1st attempt over here. He has fairly decent form back home and
    i’d expect him to come on for his run 2 weeks back.

    4.50 Salute The Soldier 14/1 PP 5 places

    I wouldn’t normally go e/w at 14s, but the 5 places looks a bit tempting from paddy
    Power. He was a decent sort with Clive Cox and has aquitted himself well in some
    very decent races. It’s taking a chance that he takes to it out here, but if he
    does I think he’s got a great shout. I quite fancy him.

    5.25 Alkaraama 50/1 Paddy Power

    I’m a bit amazed at his price. He obviously has a lot to prove here, but he wasn’t a
    bad old spud with Michael Stoute. He went off favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup and although
    he only finished 7th he was stopped at an important time. He was bought and raced his
    1st race over here at Jebal Ali and was a running on 2nd over 5f. The extra furlong
    here should suit. He might not win but I think he’s a stonking E/W.

    6.00 Mailshot 20/1 E/W Skybet 5 places

    I quite fancied him last time out at Meydan. he got a bit detached, but he was making up
    good ground late on and although 5th he finished only 1 1/2 L behind the winner. I think
    the 5 places with sky makes him very appealing.

    That’s my lot for this week Jac, let’s hope we can all get a few winners today :good:

    Have added a win on universal order with a saver on dubhe to my drafted bet

    Just think it’s worth taking dee ex bee on, since its his first meydan run and is over an inadequate trip attempting to give weight

    Drafted looks very short now, very happy I dived in as soon as the prices went up

    Very interesting and brave choices Graham..judt one of those coming home will see you in profit. :good:

    Best of luck FF I’m with you on all of those so although we won’t be millionaires it would be nice to see Drafted get his head in front later…well done with the 5/2 I came in a bit too late for that.

    Really hoping Dream Castle shows his true talent today and my lovely Dubai Legacy who gave me a winning day at Newmarket last year :heart:

    We’ll be wiser later but will we be richer :scratch: Hope so. :rose:

    Much more like it from dream castle but barney roy just too classy

    Youd expect barney roy to come on plenty for that as well

    Hit the nail on the head FF, he was just too classy. There were questions to answer
    by him and he couldn’t have answered more authoritatively. Very nice run by Dream Castle
    Jac, he just found Barney Roy back to his best.

    Agreed FF and Graham.
    Dream Castle did all he could but what a looker Barney Roy is..well deserved and as you say he’ll come on a ton for that run. :good:
    Disappointed’ but nice to see Dream Castle coming back to his best again. :heart:

    Cheers Jac, I’d be happy to see Drafted hose up for you and FF, and Alkaraama to get his place
    in the next :good:
