25th August

405 Cartmel-Its up in class but I think Presenting Junior is improving,its rating and speed figure on its latest victory suggests it can hold its own in this grade and as a previous course winner(And the trainer thought it should have won its other start at this venue),it should go well on such a specialist track.

Big Sound has been in consistently good form but prefers a galloping track and may find the twists and sharp turns here,not to its liking(Sharp Tracks 0w-1p-8r).

Balbriggan has to be respected form the Gordon Elliot yard while Dark Glacier represents a yard that have won this race twice in the last 4 years.

Back Presenting Junior 8pts at 6.0 at Boyles(Accept 5.5)-3rd(-8pts)Ran well but not quite good enough

345-Epsom-Saeed Bin Suroor has won this race 5 times in the last 8 years and looks set for another good go at winning it with Haafaguinea.

This horse hasnt raced for 207 days but is at its best fresh(First time out form figures 1st-1st-2nd)

Its 2w-0p-2r in fields of 9 or less like this and Ryan Moore is booked to ride.

Fattsota won this race last year and is the clear danger for me.

Back Haafaguinea 12pts at 4.3 at Betvictor(Accept 3.75)-UP(-12pts)Never in it in awful conditions.

305 Warwick-I expect the rain to come and that will be right up Gracie`s Games street.This horse is in foal at the moment and that has brought about a burst of decent form.

John Spearing has won this race twice in the last 6 years and I would expect this to go close.

This is a gambling yard,so you would want it to be strong in the market.

Divertimenti won last time but the forecast rain wont suit and that comment applies to many of the field.

Back Gracie`s Games 13pts at 4.0 at Betvictor(Accept 3.5)-UP(-13pts)Just another in a long line of below par runs this month.Awful month and time for a break.(DT-33pts)
