    Despite all the bravado Starmer reverts to type, a weak man and spineless PM, ….. runs up the white flag and surrenders before a shot is fired!

    Apologies for being so late posting.
    Putting forward two selections for your consideration this afternoon.
    First to go will be FAR ABOVE THE LAW at Redcar which will be followed an hour later with FAR ABOVE DREAM e/w in the showpiece handicap sprint at Ascot.

    A couple of bets for Ascot which are given as each way selections due to as I’ve said previously the nature of the racing. First out of the stalls will be GREEN CARRERA e/w who’s part of the Joseph O’Brien team which has already struck this week and looks capable of following up her recent Curragh success. The second horse I’m putting forward for your consideration is the Roger Varian sprinter CALICO BLUE e/w who was dropped to the minimum trip on his seasonal reappearance. This lightly raced colt left a very good impression on this first attempt at 5f, previous runs all over 6f, registering career high numbers and looking as if his progressive profile will be continuing it’s upward trend.

    Is it my imagination or does there seem to be more runners than ever participating at Ascot than previous years?
    Waiting until the final race on the card where I think COSI BELLO e/w has good chances of collecting for us. Following a successful seasonal debut at Haydock where the form’s working out quite good. 3rd that day was runner up in the Victoria Cup on next outing while the 4th filled the same position in a valuable York handicap at the Dante meeting. This lightly raced gelding blew away his previous best numbers with a performance head and shoulders above them. But as aways handicaps at this meeting are highly competitive so a each way approach should be adopted.

    Strange thing I think about Burnham’s campaign for the Makerfield by election.
    On his posters he makes no mention of Labour?
    Rather odd I thought for someone who wishes to lead a Labour government.

    Although her latest success was against her own sex Jonathan Portman’s filly WONDROUS LIGHT e/w looks capable of holding her own in this better race after winning with a bit to spare over course and distance last month. At present odds she looks overpriced and a e/w bet will cover all the bases.

    Add Pat Mcfadden’s comments about being pressured ….
    ‘how to find more ways to increase taxes on people in order to pay more in benefits to others’
    along with the above message about sums what this present government is all about and where it’s priorities lie as regard governing the country in a fair manner.
    Reeves and Labour will soon feel the effects of the Laffer Curve if they continue on their present course.

    Just a quick post today to say I’m having a small investment on SUPIDO up at Chester.

    What happened to Mojito I can’t honestly say with nothing coming to light from the trainers rep or a post race vets inspection.
    Can’t say the last time I laid a bet on Chepstow but CAYMAN TAI looks capable of following up his recent Southwell success under the same conditional rider.

    Despite the glut of racing this bank holiday weekend can only come up with a selection for your consideration from one of the minor meetings this evening. However I do consider MOJITO worth the wait after winning on her seasonal and handicap debut. That success was with more in hand than I believe the 6lb she’s been raised by the handicapper. This daughter of Palace Pier totally blew away her rivals the backend of last month recording figures far better than her previous efforts. The second has since visited the winners enclosure with horses further down the field also running well.

    Angela Rayner cleared???
    Did she underpay the tax ……. yes!
    She was made to pay what she was accused of ie £40,000 underpayment but somehow she was viewed as not guilty of committing any law breaking.
    Not had to pay any penalty where normally HMRC would have imposed a fine.
    If this had been someone from another party she would have been raging as she has done in the past.
    And Labour say she wasn’t given preferential treatment for this ‘sweetheart’ deal.
    Bet no ordinary citizen would have been given this lenient treatment.

    Meant to post this yesterday the day of the contest.
    A recent article I read telling of a University sampling and analysis of waste water, in the UK, looking for illegal substances found that bank holidays, weekends, big sporting events were found to be times when drug use spiked. Also Eurovision was found to be an event which produced a spike in drug use.
    Do you have to be stoned to watch it or does it just help?

    Putting forward two selections for your consideration both at the main meeting. First out of the stalls will be AL AZD who impressed with his last run at Doncaster, described as winning easily by the RP. To back that description up this gelding also recorded good numbers and looks worthy of an investment as his mid April foaling date suggests there’s more progress to come. Then we have to wait until the penultimate contest of the meeting where MEZCALA looks capable of following up on his seasonal debut. Making smooth headway this colt when asked put clear daylight between himself and his rivals recording good numbers.

    Possible investments are thin on the ground at present but RAHIEBB in today’s feature race can give the favourite plenty to think about.While having but a single win to his name this colt has some very good form to say he’s in this on merit.To date his top numbers have been earned at the trip as he’s progressed up in distance so have his performances and this is where I believe the favourites vulnerabilities lie.

    I think it goes without saying that Starmer’s the most disliked, to put it mildly, British political leader historically… his actions following the local elections are like …
    Putting two fingers up to the public and saying “Screw you”
    If his MP’s don’t remove him the public will come for them next.

    headline of an article published yesterday
    ‘If these relics are the answer, Starmer’s asking the wrong question’
    (The relics in question are Brown & Harman)
    the article is credited to former Labour Minister Tom Harris
