Bandinelli at a price for me.

I like the two Balding horses against the field

Valley Forge
Spirit mixer

[Ex RubyLight]

The two I like are Summer’s Knight and Rainbow Dreamer.

Hollie Doyle is an excellent jockey, but she can do 8st as a minimum riding weight and Trueshan carries 10st 8lb today. That’s a lot of dead weight in lead in the saddle cloth. Trueshan races off 120 and given you usually need to be at least 7lb better than your mark to win a big Handicap he’s arguably going to have to run closer to 130 today to win. If Trueshan wins the Northumberland Plate it will be the best weight-defying effort in a Flat Handicap since Sea Pigeon won the Ebor in 1979 under 10st, and Sea Pigeon had zero dead weight as he was ridden by Jumps Jockey Jonjo O’Neill.

Im def in the Sir Chavelin camp , the run over c and d is a nice marker , the other play is alright sunshine , has beaten last year’s winner and off 99 I def can see him in the mix , caught my eye last time and I reckon Keith has had this in mind for him

Sir Chavelin e.w

Alright Sunshine e.w

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

Can’t believe how short trueshan is

[Chivers1987]

The difference between Hollie Doyle and Rhys Clutterbuck

[Mike007]

A Desert Orchidest performance that.

[Wilts]

Great performance from both horse and jockey. She’s good, really good. Bet365 were offering 7/1 earlier via a boost.

[FinalFurlong91]

Very good performance

A little surprised there’s no stewards as spirit mixer got dragged across the track by the winner

[fivelongdays]

Next year’s Supreme winner?

So don't run, just like the others always do

Han Solo Berger won yesterday under her at Yarmouth: His seventh jockey in seven starts, but Hollie made the difference and the horse won in a canter at 12s.

[IanDavies]

Never mind being 3/1 favourite, that’s an astonishing performance from Trueshan.

Racing off OR 120, carrying 10st8lb, goodness knows how much lead in the saddle cloth (Hollie Doyle can do 8st).

Even tops Sea Pigeon with 10st and Jonjo O’Neill in the 1979 Ebor.

Amazing.

I know it was a Flat race but it is worth remembering this performance the next time there is a boring conditions race over jumps and something hacks up at odds on.

Good horses CAN win giving weight away. And it makes for interesting racing with open betting.

[Gladiateur]

Best performance in a British flat handicap since… ?

[patriot1]

…Sergeant Cecil.

[greenasgrass]

Superb weight carrying performance (I don’t think the dead weight thing matters though, lead sits still and evenly distributed on the horse’s back, something jockeys have to work very hard on core strength and stability in the gym to try to replicate).
