22nd August

230 York-I have to say,I was shocked to see Cavalryman`s price(Even money on my tissue prices).It comes here with the best form,Proven in this grade and has got course form to its name.Its 7w-3p-18r in fields of 9 or less and represents last years winning yard.Its a strong selection.
Estimate is the wrong price in my view,You have to respect the trainer and jockey but this horse is good at Ascot and it would appear,not that good elsewhere.
High Jink could make the frame but the biggest danger is Pale Mimosa,who represents a top yard and is 1 from 1 at this track.
Back Cavalryman 18pts at 3.5 at Various Bookies(Accept 3.0)-4th(-18pts)What a month this has been and for all the wrong reasons.Just dont know what to make of this run.Fallon never seemed to get stuck into the horse,it was only a Group 2 after all!

750 Goodwood-Wordismybond has the best recent ratings but has an awful draw to contend with.Its got the right man in Richard Hughes to deal with it but its a short enough price considering where its berthed.
Halfway has similar problems and is another that takes a chunk out of the market despite the bad stall.
Al Manaal has a good draw and represents a trainer in Mick Channon,who is finally hitting the form he usually is in(Had a treble on Thursday)
It drops in class into a class 5 for the first time in a while(1 from 2 in the grade) and could go well at a decent price.
Back Al Manaal 3pts each way at 19.0 at betvictor(Accept 13.0)-4th(!) -(-6pts)Of course it did.Was in front 1/2 furlong out and got nutted yards from the line.

440 Ffos Las-Ballybough Gorta appears to be best at Cartmel these days and is 0 from 3 around here,Its ratings give it a decent shout but its a short enough price.
Foundry Square ran poorly last time over hurdles but isnt out of it on its previous chase win.
At its best Prosperity Square would have a good chance on its Irish form but its a little in and out and so the other Irish Raider A Decent Excuse,looks the best value.
This horse has been very consistent of late and the slight step up in trip should be ideal.
Back A Decent Excuse 8pts at 6.0 at Corals(Accept 5.0)-Won(+40pts)A couple of sketchy jumps early on but once pushed forward,it jumped very well and stayed on strongly.(DT+16pts)
Monthly Total-67.74pts
Running Total+7121.71pts
