We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Lingfield 2.40
Stargazer lil
Unexpected Arrival
Both win
There is an interesting newcomer here as well in the shape of a George Boughey runner. Related to listed runners given the yards strike rate has to be wary but happy enough with my two runner’s prospects here.

And of course the Boughey horse wins at a decent price too

Eat The Book

2nd favourite here but has the experience to beat the odds on jolly.
Took on and placed 2nd twice against good rated rivals and has earned a mark of 111 and can kick on here for a deserved first win.

Vischio

May well kick on again after showing improvement in winning recently.
But the one who really interests me at a decent price is
Alterno each way
Who has performances at a better level and has dropped to an attractive mark having won at 122 and no one in this field has won off that mark. Good stint over fences in June.

None of these seemed to appreciate the extra distance at Goodwood.
Oisin Murphy takes the ride for Godolphin on marching Army a horse he has won in at this trip at Leicester recently.
He will be under pressure from John Gosdens runner
Pied Piper
Each way
Marching Army
Each way
Pied Piper may shade it of the two in a race hard to call so both are each way rather than win bets.

[sporting sam]

Pied Piper did beat marching Army but the cash went to the other side as there were only seven runners….
9pm
Ray Day
Win
Ray Day
May just be ready to win on handicap debut under Tom Marquand.
On his second start of three he went down by a neck in a novice race to a 72 rated rival.
The handicap allotted now in mid 60s suggests he may have got in lightly. The question is whether the stable want to preserve that rating while the horse is growing or go for it.
