Update: 1:50 pm

Bit disappointed with Captain Cattistock in 1:15 Ascot, he found zero when asked to finish his race off.  I am backing Baccarat 2:30 Meydan, he is around 3/1, he has to find a neck improvement to beat the top weight Faatinah, from the last time they met. It’s a competitive race with Steady Pace not out of it.  The ground is very testing at Haydock where Chef Des Obeaux 4:25 runs, I have halved my stake bet on him because of conditions, although he has won on soft, heavy Haydock ground is very sticky as a rule, he is 11/8 with some firms.
