Must resist do not back Metal Merchant AGAIN
The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.
My cliff horse Orazio steps up to 7 furlongs after flying home in the last furlong of the Wokingham last time.
Taken the 7/1. Today’s the day!
Maybe tomorrow CAS..hate to be picky..
Riot for me, only reason is..there was a NY rock band, 70s,80s that were great with the same name..
i have the discs..

”Must resist do not back Metal Merchant AGAIN :scratch:”I suspect Steptoe and Son ownership, its owned by a scrap metal group, who also have a horse called Ferrous running at York tomorrow.. Ferrous is a non magnetic metal..hmm
What was the name of Steptoes Horse?I’m surprised we haven’t seen ORAZIO tried at 7f yet, he runs like he should get it and pedigree suggests it’ll be fine. Well backed now, I took 7/1 an hour ago and is 5/1 same firm now.
I think essentially with these big field straight track handicaps at Ascot (although this isn’t anywhere near a full field) you need a horse who is fit and well on the day and gets the luck with the draw/track position/in running etc… You don’t tend to get many these days who will go on progressing into group company and they all just face each other every couple of weeks and its just whoever gets all of that on the day. On that basis I’ll chuck a couple of quid at Ropey Guest e/w 33/1 in a place who has plenty of form in these sort of races to suggest he’s capable of winning one. Plenty of them could win this in reality.
Billyjoh (8-1 ew 6 places) and Carrytheone (7-1 ew 6 places) were 2nd and 3rd to English Oak in the Buckingham Palace Stakes over course and distance. English Oak is joint favourite for the group 2 Lennox Stakes next week. So they will do for me.
After much deliberation I am steering clear of Metal Merchant which for the benefit of Wilts will probably hose up. Jumping ship to New Image.

Well handicapped no doubt and was very unlucky to Ascot a couple runs back. Missed the break and spent 2 furlongs looking for a gap which never came, he might not of won but would of not been far away. Appeared to disappoint last time but on reflection the one that beat him looks a very nice horse who was obviously very well handicapped.
Bless Him
If he repeats his run in the Victoria cup and gets a bit of luck in running could well run into a place.
Well done Sarge mine needed a couple more yards.

I should have put a bit up but I was on Northern Express. If anyone wants to check he was my
nap in all my competitions. Apologies for being lazy and well done Sarge, what a cracking day
