I was pressured into taking a small bet yesterday 2400/200 . If it comes in , well and good.

Analyse this to give Jayyed something to think about Bob

I lumped on Jayyed for the July at 40s, I think he is really special and good to see him back but he has his problems and loses a length or two at the start so heart-in-mouth at the start today..

Does Jayyed not need to win or finish very close in a feature race this season to get in the July ? Small field et al this year

Jayyed certainly has massive potential. But may be a book makers dream. A bit like Rakes Chestnut last year. Some hugely impressive runs but if memory serves me correctly RC still only a one time winner. Not saying Jayyed doesn't have the potential to contest grade 1's of that magnitude. Merely reminds me of a similar situation as last year people saying RC is going to win the July. I'm a firm believer in horses knowing how to win, even when the weights are against them because then it shows true character and heart to dig deep over the final furlong.

Enough about that today's card strikes me with big interest. Before my bets will be struck I want to see if the bias is towards the outside. If so then we could be in for some useful dividends in the exotics. Agree Kostya za one of the better ones today. Not something else I can back on the nose so will be taking a few percentage exotics and hope for the outsiders to arrive.

Notable outsiders purely based on draws:
Diamond in the dark.
Movie man/sands of time.
Bad dream
Brads surge/move like jagger/Zanzibar/ Kappelmeister (pa horses)
Besides Kostya zu bah and antonius
Divano and be mine tonight
Woodrose and Seattle trade.

Have a great day chaps.

Morning Clanners,
My PA for today.

Kings V must be a runner today. Last time ran into trouble...had to be checked and then ran on. Jockey was not well balanced in my opinion. Today with Lerena should go close!
