One for tomorrow, hardly have to search deep for it but I'm finding it hard to see it beat - Shumoos @ 5:00.
Beat Frederick Englels by 4l who won quite impressively today quite easily last time out at Haydock and there is much more scope for improvement today I think. Tempted to have a small saver on Fire Lily, form was boosted by Powers win today having been beaten 4l lto also.
Had some on at 5/4, also tempted to double up with So You Think as well. Think it's going to go off odds on tomorrow.
Same here.
Watching Shumoos debut run was very taking. Struggled to get a run, was very keen, switched left right and centre and still won flying away.
Considering a very big bet on So You Think.
The first race looks extremely competitive. Codemaster won very well on reappearance but faces plenty of better horses here than he was against last time. The Noseda horse could go close, still very unexposed and when Johnny Murtagh gets the leg up for Noseda they usually go close. Phil Smith (the BHA Handicapper) is very keen on the chance of Havane Smoker. Ran well for a long way in the French Guineas and this 7f will be exactly what he wants. Fury has always been very highly thought of, and (as said) Strong Suit had some very good 2yo form including winning the Coventry. Not much can be ruled out.
Would like to see Seta win the second as I've followed her since her 2yo campaign. Can't really look past the favourite here. Sajjhaa has always been highly rated. Chased home Midday at York last time and that is probably better than anything else on offer. She also had Music Show behind her at York (may have been too far for Music Show though) and finished in front of Timepiece (won a listed race at Warwick the other night). Always has looked a filly capable of going on to better things. Lolly For Dolly should be in the shake up too.
Can't see So You Think getting beat, AOB apparently thinks he could be as good as anything he has ever trained. Only real danger IMO is Planteur, who has an electric turn of foot and looks much improved at 4. Twice Over has a few questions to answer now and the sands of time may be catching up with him at the top level, looked to be more than the inadequate trip that beat him in the Lockinge. This will probably be too short for Rewilding and he will use this as a good prep for a group 1 12f race over the summer. Can't see the rest of the field doing anything. The smart Jan Vermeer will probably blaze a trail to ensure SYT gets a truly run race and not a sprint finish. Debussy is usually fairly handy, and can't imagine Twice Over being too far off the pace - probably in similar position to SYT and Planteur. Rewilding and Sri Putra probably the back markers. SYT to take up the running kicking for home and fend off the fast finishing Planteur.
1625 looks an absolute nightmare, no particular preference. If I had a gun to my head I'd go for Super Say. Up the weights yet still fairly unexposed. Got a claimer on board which could help in such a competitive race, handles big field handicaps and has a decent draw.
Shumoos looks the one in the Queen Mary. Absolutely hacked up on debut after being all over the track and not getting a clear run. Meehan usually does well with a good juvenile too. Form received a massive boost in the Windsor today.
Rhythm Of Light looks good for the last one. Just failed to get up over 7f at Haydock last time out, going down to Western Aristocrat (well fancied for the Jersey). Tom Dascombe is in good form and she should give a good account.
