Just heard that Cracksman is a non runner in the Group 1 at Ascot 3.40.  I guess the ground is not ideal for him.  It is still a good race, with Poets Word and Crystal Ocean heading the market for Sir Michael Stoute’s powerful stable.  Stoute has a good record in the race, not sure which way it will go, it is not exactly between the front two in the betting.  Coronet is a very useful filly, she could shake up the colt’s.  If I was having a bet in the race, it would be Poet’s Word.  Lot’s of other good racing, currently dry weather at a lot of the tracks, hopefully it will be not too soft at Newmarket, the track does drain very well, chalk based tracks do seem to drain much better than clay.

I will try and put an each way horse on in the next hour or so, always good to try and give followers a nice each way horse on a Saturday.
