Soqrat and Western Fort

Portico has been scratched

Tellytrack is so transparent now that they interviewing all in sundry for the show!!!

This is quite a tough card.
Race 1 Fireworks has solid form but a wide draw to contend with. Acorn Alley disappointing last start but not out of it. Senescence fair debut and should improve this trip, but very skinny price.
Race 2 Any of the 6 winners as well as War of Athena could score here, and a number of unknown first timers. Top Drawer should go a lot further yet had the pace to win over 1000m. She looks good ew value at 8/1
Race 3 lots of first timers makes this tricky. The 4kg claim may do the trick for Elusive Woman. Slalom Queen two good runs and will be right there. Karnallie consistent form and should make the quartets.
Race 4 Immeasurable has strong 2 yo form but a question mark over the year off the track. Crank it Up consistent form. Secret Glider should relish the extra and from a good draw is a lively roughie.
Race 5 Arnica Montana is well exposed but can win a race like this. Take the World promising debut and a big runner but a very tough draw. Lord Melbourne and Elusive Swann nice draws and scope for improvement.
Race 6 Some very nice fillies line up. Vistula and Return Flight are top milers. Perfect Tigress loves this course and distance and could pop up at a big price. What you are and Saragon are competitive at these weights.
Race 7. Summer Pudding is the class horse and is bred to stay the trip. She is the one to beat but a skinny price. Marygold chased her home last time and could again be the main danger. If Victoria Paige stays then she is a threat.
Race 8 If Haawwaam behaves and is fit enough he is the one to beat. Soqrat will fight it out. Cirillo must come into the reckoning as he may be a bit fitter having put up a very good win in March.
Race 9 Got the Greenlight bounced back to best last time and if he stays the trip is the one to beat, Shango also a big runner if he stays. Youcanthurrylove and Leopold are not out of it. Imperial Ruby and Western Fort both have the stamina if the top ones don’t stay.
Race 10 Chitengo is best over a bit further but a repeat of her last run will see her home here. Alibi Guy had top 3yo form and despite having been off the track for a year must be respected. Sunshine Silk and Jet Start are the main dangers.

Race 6 - 5 Perfect Tigress, 1 Vistula
Race 10 - 1 Divine Odyssey , 5 Jet Start

Wishing all Clanners a good day ahead...stay safe and healthy...

Yip - for the guys in the compo - please check your selections for scratchings ....

Why is Julie presenting? She`s got a full time job away from racing, shouldn`t TT be supporting some of their own staff?

Maybe she's got a fan club on the inside?

I think Gavin needs to do a self isolation for 14 days... What a ride on the favourite - immeasurable...
