2.55 Ascot
Archipenko
With Ramonti prob going to need the race and Cesare prob a step off top class this can go to Mike De Kok’s 4yo. It’s not many that improve after switching from Ballydoyle but the South African must be doing something right with this one 1st 11/1[/color:2tukqpu4]
3.35 Chester
Angus Newz
Strictly on ratings she would have quite a bit to find with a few of these. To help balance this out though she is a confirmed front runner racing from stall 1 on prob softish ground at Chester. Been in great form lately too.Nap3rd 7/2[/color:2tukqpu4][/b]

Irish Oaks The Curragh
I have the fillies that ran in the English Oaks as much of a muchness and Id say they’ll be lucky to enter the placings here. Much stronger form is represented by both Gagnoas effort behind Zarkava and Dermot Welds filly’s effort against Promising Lead in the Pretty Polly over a couple of furlongs shorter. While it’s usually folly to discount AOB’s charges, I just don’t rate Moonstone as anything near a 7/4 shot for this. NAPUnp 9/2[/color:3pe8ribz]

Montmarte
This is probably closer to the real French Derby these days than the Jockey Club (edited misread form) I would much rather have someone like Soumillon on my side in a French group race than most of the Irish/English jocks bar Murtagh but AV looks a headcase. Cristophe to outride the field.1st 9/2[/color:anosa1mx]

Aeroplane
7.40 Great Leighs
I think Jamie Spencer might prove to be the ideal pilot for this most quirky of horses. After his Haydock third where he showed a fine turn of foot to pass the entire field and shoot 3 lenghts clear only to realise what he’d done and promptly pull himself up, I logged him in my notebook with comments to the effect that a drop to 6f and an exaggerated hold up ride posiibly from Spencer might be the key to him. Looks like I got my wish today so we’ll see.

Cosmea
Convincing winner at Windsor lto. The ease of victory and the way she cruised into contention lead me to believe she should have no bother coping with the drop in trip

3.25 ”Weatherbys Super Sprint” Newbury
Every so often these sales races contain a pattern performer off a low weight. This year is no exception and while you’d be worried about what side opf the draw is the right one. At these weights this one looks a good thing.Unp 3/1[/color:35r536au]
Bankable
4.30 Newbury
Would look good enough to take this fairly ordinary listed event and you’d have to think the extra distance can only be a plus given his pedigree and run style.2nd 5/4[/color:35r536au]
William Butler
3.40 Market Rasen
Been on the go a bit lately and this is the toughest company he’ll have faced so far. He does look a decent horse though and if his recent exertions havent taken too much out of him he should have a top chance here.NAP3rd 5/1[/color:35r536au]
