ANOTHER RICHARD CAN WIN TODAY
I’m not looking at anything below Class 3 today. It’s a day to play safe so I’m only looking to the better class races.
First pick of the day runs at 3.45 at Ascot in a slightly depleted contest due to two non runners.
The form of this race leaves a lot to be desired and as a result, it’s very difficult to look beyond Richard of Yorke. He’s lightly raced and looks to now have a great opportunity to get off the mark in a Handicap with the defection of Igider.
The Cumani is by far and away the most progressive of the 6 who remain and should be hard to beat.
The Handicap at 4.20 is an intriguing race. However, there are some question marks.
Bridman sets a good standard but he’s had plenty of runs this season and may now be slightly exposed. How much has he left in the tank as well?
Spark Plug is best watched but he could run well in this smaller field after a very bad experience at Royal Ascot when he fell near the finish. He was running a nice race at that point but has looked like he lacked confidence last time. Will this be another confidence booster?
Puissant was very impressive in a Ripon Maiden last October but he ran poorly in his two races earlier in the Spring. He’s been gelded since but will that bring about the desired improvement?
While Secret Brief is probably not the most trustworthy horse, he has very questions to answers. He’s dropping back in class and up in trip after a good late effort last time at Doncaster over 7. He ran on well at the finish that day and it looks like a mile will suit better. He was outclassed in his last attempt at the trip.
Ground conditions should be fine and he won a £100,000 2 Year Old Conditions event at Newmarket last season so he’s clearly a decent sort. This may be his level and, with his best foot forward, he can win.
The final race is another competitive heat. Again I see a couple of questions hanging over some but the one I can’t get away from is Franklin D.
Michael Bell obviously thinks something of him that he made his debut in the Chesham, finishing 7th to yesterday’s Banker Richard Pankhurst. That was his only two year old and he was probably in need of the run first time out this year at Chelmsford. He won well subsequently in a Sandown Maiden.
His second behind Ashridge Lad at Newmarket in his Handicap debut reads quite well and he should be able to progress from that.
THINK LOOKS ANOTHER GODOLPHIN NAP
I have two selections for Haydock today. The first runs at 4.10 in a very open looking Handicap over 7 furlongs.
Tick The Boxes looks to be very overpriced, currently at 10.0 on BETDAQ. His last two runs can be discounted as he simply didn’t appear to act on the track at Chester or Epsom. His run previous to those came over course and distance where he was second behind the very progressive Amazour.
He also has form on the ground conditions when winning a Maiden on Good to Soft at Windsor last July and he looks too big for me.
My other selection runs at 4.45. Although, on form, there is not much separating the 9 runners but there is one that stands out as a potential massive improver.
Think Ahead has obviously had some problems having been off the track for almost two years before returning in a BETDAQ race at Windsor on the eve of Royal Ascot. The vibes weren’t very strong before that run however, but he demolished the field without coming off the bridle.
His two subsequent runs came in some good Handicaps at Newmarket and in Kempton when he was beating by a big improver in Spirit Raiser. This looks a much weaker contest and is difficult to see beyond him.
INVOKE CAN DOUBLE UP AT MUSSELBURGH
One selection for Musselburgh at 6.45. It’s a small field and there is very little to suggest that Invoke should be beaten here. He won last time out over course and distance. He’s only been out of the first four, four times in 22 starts. He goes on any ground. He travels well and he quickens well. This is a perfect opportunity for him to get another win at the track.
