You would have to think the Gosden horse that Frankie rides race 1 Newmarket is decent with Moore picking up the 2nd string( he wouldnt ride a no hoper)

Ran well, Cuncu running tomorrow , could be first group winner

Scary stat is not one of his babies are maidens after 2 runs. Amazing.

Wow Frankel

R5 Ascot Flowers On Venus E/W. Lightly raced and ran well on his only previous start here. Will have no problems with today's conditions and is probably drawn on the right side. 14/1 (widely available) is a fair E/W price in a wide open handicap where four places are being paid.

Steck, for once I hope you're wrong. I had a good punt on Barnet Fair

The way I've been going lately, you're probably better off on Barnet Fair

R4 ascot bess of hardwick

given racing a very wide berth today although have had a bet on Dark Crystal at Musselburgh

R3 Navan Glenamoy Lad. This looks a straight match between the selection and Giselle's Charm (can't see anything else winning). Glenamoy Lad finished last in his most recent run at The Curragh, but that was a Group 2 and he was beaten less than six lengths. That is the best form on offer here and he can see off Giselle's Charm who looked a bit temperamental when a beaten favourite last time. Sportingbet's 11/8 is too big (will certainly go off shorter).
