UK/ Ire racing

R7 Epsom Short Work E/W. Handles a bit of cut and won nicely on his reappearance at Salisbury over six furlongs despite having a bit of trouble at the start (first two were clear, runner up has run well twice since). Will appreciate the return to seven furlongs today (ran well over it last season and was strong at the finish at Salisbury) and his 3lb rise is the ratings is more than cancelled by his promising apprentice's claim. Should go very well in an open race and 8/1 (generally available) or bigger is a nice E/W price.

Well done Bob

Did very well to pick up Architecture given all the trouble she met in running and was value for a few lengths more. Runner up ran a blinder as well - nothing else stayed.

All clear.. pay pay.

Stiff Steck. It was over from the start.

R4 Bath Sweet Dragon Fly. This looks a straight match between the selection and the likely favourite, Sirajiah. The latter has had ten months off and has never raced on ground this quick (hung badly right when last seen), whereas Sweet Dragon Fly has two good runs this season to her name and should be well suited by the drop in trip tonight. 15/8 (widely available) is an excellent price (may well go off favourite if, as I expect, Sirajiah drifts).

Yes, Dean. I gave him the benefit of the doubt after Salisbury, but shouldn't have done - he clearly has major issues at the start.

Go minding!

I am sure I missed a few posts and obviously happy but I though Ryan Moore gave the horse a type of Pigott ride, different class

R1 Worcester The Tourard Man. Has been in great form over hurdles and now returns to fences. Showed promise as a chaser last season before a bad fall at Doncaster sent him back over hurdles. Given his recent hurdling wins, I can't believe Alan King would be putting him back over fences if the horse hadn't schooled well. Likes good ground, will have no problems with the trip and gets weight from his two main rivals. If jumping satisfactorily, he will be hard to beat. 7/4 is a very good price - and probably won't last.

Good.
I've already done that in a trixie with
Crown Hill 1-20 Tramore 11/10
Three Stars 3-35 Tramore 4/5
Paddy powers

Jack Flash,first race at the Curragh is worth a go 9/2 ladbrokes.
Supposed to be nice type.
