230906: Ascot Festival Day 2...an intriguing day of racing.

2:00: A host of non-runners have turned this race on its head, but there should still be some value in backing 3 of those remaining in the race, although the prices are considerably shorter than they would have been!
Unshakable (2pts @ 8.2/1)...ran particularly well when things were all against him at Goodwood last time.
My Paris (1.5pts @ 7/1)...well weighted, and interesting in the Cambridgeshire next week, may well take this en route.
Arminius (1pt @ 14.4/1)...ran better than result suggests at York last time.

3:10: Satulagi (0.5pt e/w @ 50/1)...a consistent filly, albeit an unlikly winner, who is simply too big a price with the step up to 1m sure to suit.

3:45: Esquire (1pt win @ 12/1)
Trafalgar Square (1 pt win @ 12/1)


4:20...the big one:
George Washington (2pts win @ 2.95/1)...big reservations regarding his temperament, but fairly sure he's the best in the race, and certainly has to be backed at the price.
Proclamation (1pt win @ 5.9/1)...already backed this boy e/w at 9/1 ante post so not getting stuck in at much shorter odds today, but big chance.
Araafa (2pts place @ 1/1)...ground suits, set to leave Sussex form well behind.
Librettist (4pts lay @ 2.6/1)...ridiculous price given his form, should be more like a 6/1 shot; not for me, Dettori made wrong choice.

Haydock

2:55
Knot In Wood (1pt win @ 4/1)...ultra tough/consistent, unlucky last time when racing on the wrong side.
Stanley Goodspeed (2pts win @ 14/1, 2pts place @ 3.4/1)...may be in a good spot here against his elders off bottom weight.

Chester

2:50
Lucky Bee (1pt win @ 3.4/1)...Alan Swinbank's 2-y-o is best off at the weights judged on form, some of her opponents may be open to improvement though.

3:20
Dhaular Dhar (2pts e/w @ 10/1)...Chester specialist, needs luck in running.

4:30
Jeepstar (1pt win @ 16/1)...big chance, Stuart Williams will get the best out of him sooner rather than later.
Sendinpost (1pt win @ 4/1)...anoterh Williams charge, will prove himself well weighted.

5:05
Handsome Cross (1pt win @ 13.5/1)...return to Chester will suit.

Market Rasen

3:50
Is It Me (8pts win @ 0.76/1)...I haven't got into the jumping season properly yet, but it doesn't take a genius to work out that thisjuvenile hurdler is well above average, possibly capable of playing a hand in the Triumph at Cheltenham in March if given a break at some point.
