Ascot2:30 - Illaunglass - J Noseda's filly is a monster as won on debut at lingfield a few weeks ago having been given as info. She flashed her tail on that day and hopefully she's more street wise and is worth a play.
3:05 - Mirhaaj - Varians horses have been performing well this year and even though this one is relatively inexpierenced, will stay this distance however and he's been pleasing connections at home with some decent work.
3:45 - Theyskens Theory - Ran well last year without hitting the top of the tree, did however defeat subsequent 1000gns heroine Blue Bunting on the Godolphin's filly's debut. Won easily enough at York at listed event.. needs a step up here but hopefully will improve for being a 3yr old and progressing well after seasonal reappearance which usually Meehan's horses do.
4:25 - I do like Green Destiny however for me the price looks on the shortside... so I'd rather fare with Shamali who has a v good record here of 1,1,2 the two wins coming over this distance and that 2nd came 6l behind Alainmaar over 2fl further, I rate Alainmaar very highly and the Varian horse will progress throughout the season... either way Shamali can run a decent race at a decent price.
5:00 - Who knows... I was taken by Halifax's run last time out and this step up in trip can gauge further improvement in one of 3 mark johnstons horses.
5:35 - Ip Dip Do .... Lowther ran well at chester last time from a wide draw at big price may well sneak into places.
Two to watch out for in the betting is imo 7:05 Newm - Elite - SMS 2nd 2yr old of the year the first one and only those very forward run this time of the year (still early for sms best to be out) 8:40 Newm - Raahin was the subject of many a good word last year and looked well on debut having a considerate ride and can progress this year.
Good Luck everyone...
