30th July

840 Epsom-Guiding Light has chances,that there is no doubt but im surprised its such a short price.
All 3 of its career wins have been gained at Chepstow & in this grade but its produced 2 below par runs at this venue & has to prove it can act around here.
At the prices it has to be taken on.
Dear Bruin looks rock solid and could easily get away in front with Luke Morris on board.
Its top rated on its latest win and has conditions in its favour.
Pink Ribbon drops slightly in trip & has the ratings to figure while the lightly raced Star Asset interests me.
It hasnt raced for 110 days since being outclassed in a listed race on the All weather.
Its only had 2 races and hasnt raced on turf but George Baker turns up here in the last race of the day for just this ride.
The jockey is 7 from 32 when riding for this yard.
Lay Guiding Light 15pts at 3.5 to win Lay 10 pts to place.-2nd(+9.75pts)Bit of a bittersweet moment,seeing the lay beaten while Star Asset came cruising through to win at 12/1.

625 Epsom-English Summer has been running consistently well & is 3Ibs lower than its last winning mark,theres no doubt its ready to win & its a fair price here to do so.
This horse likes a recent race(14 days or less 7w-6p-28r) & if handling this track,should go close.
Eton Rambler has course and distance form to its name but needs to find a little extra to win this.
Leah Freya has also won here but on faster ground although it has the best jockey in the race(3 from 6 around here)
Daisy Boy would have serious chances on its latest run but im not sure this easier surface will suit.
Back English Summer 10pts at 5.0 at various bookies-Won(+45pts*Paid out BOG)Rarely venture into Ladies races but I liked this one & the jockey gave it an absolute peach.

805 Epsom-Distinct lack of pace in this race and im hoping the only horse with winning course and distance form,Ixelles Diamond,will go near the front early as at least 4 of the 6 runners are normally held up and that could be a distinct disadvantage here.
The selection is top rated with a good young claimer booked to ride,it must go very close.
Juventus wants top of the ground & has done its recent winning at a lower level until running below par last time.
Hipz looks better at shorter while Fujiano has to prove its stamina in this higher grade.
Back Ixelles Diamond 14pts at 3.75-2nd(-14pts)Beaten in a photo after trading at 1.58!

245 Stratford-As long as the slightly shorter trip doesnt catch him out,I can see Moorlands George going very close here.
This horse has only raced 5 times over fences and its ratings have a progressive look.Its latest rating make it the one to beat & it actually drops in class for this.
Nico De Boinville has finished 1st & 2nd in his 2 rides on the horse & its a worthy favourite.
Provincial Pride is also unexposed over fences & looks the main danger but the trainer is 0 from 15 here.
Pistol Basc is 1 from 1 here and a solid operator in this grade but its now 5Ibs higher than its highest winning mark & it normally struggles off this kind of handicap mark.
Back Moorlands George 15pts at 3.5-Won(+37.5pts)Jumped well & won under a fine ride.(DT+78.25pts)
Monthly Total+79.85pts
Running Total+7964.10pts
