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

Nice way to end proceedings with a 25/1 winner.
MUSSLEBURGH 8.25
GRACES QUEST
Win/place
New acquisition to the Goldie yard. Won a seller here before switching yards and after a few runs is back on that winning mark.
Started off several pounds higher than that mark and likelihood one or two pounds to the good now. New owners had a winner with yard yesterday.

May well place on better terms with awy with da fairy’s. William Buick is an interesting booking and he is sure to take charge of his own fate here.

.Jungle time
Win
In receipt of 8lbs should go very close against some good types

[sporting sam]

Did it well and put the experience of a previous run to good use.
Short enough but a worthy favourite.

1st – £3,186.00 2nd – £1,496.00 3rd – £748.00 4th – £374.00 5th – £300.00 6th – £300.00
Only three takers and two of them have not won on the flat.
THE RESDEV WAY
Win
Travels here from yorkshire.
Stables only runner and with the transportation costs and wages must be up for this. In form with eleven wins on the flat.
Beat Frame rate over a similar trip and that one won by 8lengths yesterday.
Few negatives and if they go off too fast should suit the redsev way even more.

TOPKAKI STAR
Has got the distance over hurdles and whilst may be tapped for toe in the final stages is something of value at 9/4 win without the favourite.

GABYNAKO
Ran a very good second to Edwardstone at Cheltenham and the loss of gentlemen De Mee is a big disappointment. There is little here to trouble Gavin Cromwells runner if he is fit.

Atlantis Blue
Win
Good second at Newbury to Queenlet who raced class 3 unplaced yesterday.
Stepped up on heavy ground subsequently in France when restrained but ran well and shaped as if development was likely now and interesting on decent surface.
Provided exaggerated hold up tactics are not employed a chance here with experience.

RASAAL
Both win
Rasaal returns here for first time since win over course.
Up long way in the ratings since.
Live in the moment first run for new yard and has wintered in Dubai.
Well treated.

TOO SHY SHY
Place
Dropped a long way in changing stables again and capable of a good run here.
STRATEGIC FORTUNE
Win
Big margin winner here last time.
Both or either can benefit from weighted and drawn alongside OOT MA WAY’S absence…..

[sporting sam]

That is the effect of “free energy” as too shy shy gets into the places and strategic Fortune bolts up….

BARTZELLA
SAVE A FORREST
Both win
Both well regarded oaks form and course form one with a highly authoritive winning display last time out.

Something has to give here and I fancy both may be fighting this one out at the finish. Vunerable though to the improver but form could not be better coming here.

ALPHA MALE
Win and place
Has an amazing record having won this race by thirty lengths two or three years back and placed second twice. Still only 11 and while vunerable to an improving sort has the credentials to still be running well here when others have cried enough.

Newmarket 335
YBIR
To win by three lengths+
5/4
Too short otherwise to back and if he is to win on these terms it could be by a decent amount. But either way a free bet but better this way than 1/4 on.
