540 Kelso-Ballyreesode came back a different horse after a break last time,winning easily over a little further than todays trip and providing it doesnt bounce on its 2nd start back then anything close to that rating will be far too good for its rivals.

This horse won twice in a grade higher than this when trained in Ireland.

A lot of the rivals are much of a muchness although Northern Acres represents a stable that have won this race twice in the last 2 years.

Back Ballreesode 12pts at 4.5 at various bookies(Accept 3.75)-5th(-12pts)Couldnt have the winner at all.The horse had every chance but this was disappointing.

255 Ascot-After just 4 starts,Hadaatha is very unexposed.Each run has shown an improvement in its rating.

It has to prove itself over a bit further and on softer ground but as a son of Sea the Stars it really shouldnt be a problem.

Seal of Approval won this race last year but that performance is a clear stand out run in its career.Whether it can repeat is open to question.

Cubanita will stay and go on the ground,it wont be far away.

Back Hadaatha 7pts at 7.5 at various bookies(Accept 7.0)-UP(-7pts)May have been the ground but did chase a brutal pace and all the ones at the front finished out the back.(DT-19pts)
