Not sure how I fucked that up.

Frenetic, another one I've mentioned, goes in Doncaster today.

Lost by less than a length to Miss Amulet two starts back. Not sure why she is 5/1 and Sacred is 15/8.
Was gonna back The Lir Jet in that race, when that was a non runner I did look at Frenetic but left the race alone in the end. Did Albaflora in the first, done by a head 😬.

Have done Hukum in the St Leger, very tempted by Pyledriver but do wonder given his pedigree and the speed he’s shown whether he’ll stay. Santiago has looked very good but not sure what he’s beaten. Hoping English King doesn’t return to his Lingfield form and Hukum just looks like he’s got more to come.

Some great races in Ireland this weekend. Great to see Ghayyaith out again. Should be a god battle between Peaceful and Fancy Blue again. Then on Sunday the National Stakes looks the best juvenile line up so far. Really like Lucky Vega but expect one of the powerhouses will have the winner.
Definitely backing One Voice again, in the Blandford Stakes, she’s run very well in defeat the last twice.

English King is a NR, Duvva.

Cheers, Haven’t had much chance to look today, one less to worry about. Gutted not to be going but weekend in Liverpool instead so not all bad!

Luckily I didn't get involved with Frenetic either.

Don't have a strong opinion on the Leger. Think it's wide open, though would like see Pyledriver win if I was to choose one.

Great racing all weekend Duvva correct. Looking forward to it.

Shame Battleground is out here. Still a good clash in prospect between Lucky Vega and Master of the Seas. I’m with Lucky Vega

Looks like Serpentine’s Derby win wasn’t all that

Very sad this. Knew he was fighting it, but it had been pretty quiet about him of late. 43!

Malone Road our again tomorrow, 2:45 Listowel. Still a silly price but looks up against a few better sorts this time. Good ground so I guess it wouldn’t be 100% they’ll risk it, but interesting to see how he goes if they do

Got his last few hurdles all wrong but wouldn’t have been an impressive winner anyway, the other two might be decent without looking anything like top drawer, so it doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to fulfill his potential at this stage

N'golo is a nice animal. By Galileo and purchased from France by one of the best in the business. Had him in my tracker but couldn't take on Malone Road with him, especially after his last run.

But yeah still would've hoped Malone Road would put him in his place relatively easily.

Benbatl seems a decent price against Kameko today given the ground is on the soft side of good. Frankie up for Godolphin as well, don’t see that very often anymore.

Like Top Rank in that race, step up in class for him but I really like him. Surprised he's that short against Kameko though, not sure I'll be backing him at those prices.

Kameko is a really good horse over 1m and not a yard further. He's a really strong stayer over the trip.

Miss Amulet fav for the Cheveley Park tomorrow, obviously her toughest race yet, you backing her Flash?
The Middle Park looks a belter, really like Minzaal but good horses everywhere in that race so probably just one to watch.

I like Sir Busker in the Cambridgeshire should appreciate the extra 1f but seems to love placing rather than winning so no doubt will find at least one too good

I won't Duvva, I like too many others in the race to make a choice between them. I could make cases for about 6 of them to win it  ;D

Middle Park looks a cracker as well yes, looking forward to seeing Supremacy, Method and Minzaal go at it. Won't have a bet on that one either dangers everywhere. Lucky Vega lost out last time to a horse I have down as a potential superstar and didn't get a clear run, too tough to call.

Have no real thoughts on the Cambridgeshire. See there's a serious market move for Roger Fell's Anythingtoday. 25s to 11s.

They were very sweet on Supremacy thought he was a very big price. He's beaten a very very good horse in Lucky Vega there.

Think that’ll prove to be what it looked beforehand. A very good renewal. The front 3 all very good

Didn't catch the debut but read about it beforehand so thought he always had a chance but didn't really expect him to pick them up. It's a weird one, didn't look aesthetically pleasing but he made up some amount of ground.

Looks like the expected very soft ground means Enable is now fav for the Arc. Definite worry for Love. Sounds as though Serpentine will be supplemented. Surprised to read Fabre intends to run Persian King, thought he was headed for the Champion Stakes.

She was drifting like she'd lost a leg yesterday, so it's no surprise. Stradivarius could really run a race if the ground is as bad as they're saying. Think it's a bit of a shit renewal this year if I'm honest. Take out Enable and you're left with a 2 miler and a string of group 2ers.

Just seen Oisin Murphy has tested positive for Cocaine while riding in France. Didn’t the same happen to Fallon and Frankie over there? Either drug testing at hone leaves a lot to be desired or the French have got it in for our jockeys!

He says he’s never taken it and is fighting it. Was it 6 months the others got?

There may have been others caught out over there as well but can’t recall who

Bit of a bombshell withdrawal of all the O’Brien’s runners from the Arc and rest of the Longchamp card tomorrow. With Love already out they didn’t have the best chances but it’s a real blow for the race and a Pretty Gorgeous and Fancy Blue had chances in other races. What a mess

Wasn’t to be for Enable. Looked a slowly run race and in that ground she didn’t have her usual finishing burst. A poor Arc ultimately.

What a horse she’s been though

Looks a decent Dewhurst with lots of improving horses or horses with potential but no superstar going in. Can see why Thunder Moon is fav after last time, perhaps he’ll be the superstar coming out of it. Hope Alkumait runs a good race and can potentially replace Mohaather for Tregoning.

Also looking forward to seeing Queens Brook over hurdles today, short price but interested to see where Elliott is aiming her this season.

Very decent renewal, there are dangers everywhere as you say but I'm very sweet on Thunder Moon. Will probably end up with egg on my face after this but I think he wins the Guineas next year. Just checked and he's 6/1 favourite for that. I'm hoping that's a lot shorter come 3 o'clock  ;D

Queens Brook a very interesting one for hurdling this year. Owners have a few decent horses might be worth following for the year.

Was tempted to have a go at Thunder Moon myself this morning but wasn’t sure about the soft ground for him, plus a number of the others look like they may enjoy the soft, so will just watch. Hope it does the business for you
