In the King Stand, Flanders was so unlucky to be touched off by Mitcham last
year, but this year seems to have come back better than ever. Course suits as
we've seen before and she has been kept for this despite entries in one or two
good races over the past month or two, because she goes best when fresh. Darley
is riding really well this season too. The draw is a bit of a worry though, and
the ground might be on the firm side.
Cape Town looks the value in the St James Palace.
Not sure about the Coventry - Bram Stoker perhaps, who looks better with every
race, or Modigliani, but not very original choices.
Unusual to see a RA pointer running at Warwick, but Andromedes who was just a
couple of lengths behind Dalmapour last time, did win very very easily tonight,
and if Dalmapour stays the distance in the Queens vase, will be very hard to
beat.
I have no idea about the last, Ulundi perhaps?

Queens Anne
With all the penalties i quite fancy GOLDEN SILCA to run a big race and
could reward e/w bets at a reasonable price, well weighted with some of the
major runners.
Kings Stand
One to forget really but i will pitch 2 against the field, AGNES WORLD a top
class sprinter has done the biz on his travels before and loves top of the
ground, good e/w at around 12/1. BOLSHOI is an amazing price at around 50/1,
ran a fantastic race on his return from injury behind Pipalong, beaten 3
lengths after not getting the run of the race and was well behind Perryston
View but that was in heavy ground which he hates, could spring a surprise.
St. James Palace
SHIBBOLETH is my pick as outlined somewhere else in the ng
Coventry
Difficult to weight up the value of the form so i'll go for the filly RARE
OLD TIMES who is in line for a £50k bonus if she wins, the 6F will suit as
will the better ground, outsiders pop up sometimes you know (he says rather
tentatively) e/w
Queens Vase
Bit of a nightmare this year (where's Cecil) so i will bang for another
outsider in Martin Pipes RAVENSWOOD, will be suited by the distance and will
sit at the back and wait to pounce in the final furlong at around 20/1 a
nice e/w proposition.
Duke Of Edinburgh
A very open finale with the selection being WESTENDER with M. Hills aboard
having the chance to atone for an absolute balls up of a ride last time,
plenty in with chances so watch the market.
Well hope everyone has a good time anyway and empties the bookies satchels.

Personally I think backing a horse at approx 7/2 in a handicap is an
easy way to lose money, however I have a friend who works in the stoute
yard and he thinks the horse has a stone in hand in this race. He says
he's been working with blueprint (last years winner) who is rated
approx 10 lb better than him and he has been beating that horse
comfortably.
They also facny Dalanpour strongly.
I may have a small double but I won't be getting heavilly involved at
7/2.
Good Luck

Before you buy.
Well just goes to show what I said, 11/4 in a field of that size is
financial suicide, stable info or not!!!
Every horse in this race was probably trying and trained for the day,
hence I suspect a lot of the stables fancied their own horses. The
moral of the story, only back when you think a horse represents
value!!!
