A really good race yesterday at Sandown at 3.00 in the Coral-Eclipse. Vadeni getting the better of Mishriff by a neck, with Native Trail a head away in third. It was a really top class ride from Christophe Soumillon. The ride of David Egan on Mishriff was very poor, he got trapped behind the closing Native Trail at a vital stage, and possibly cost him the win. It was a day to forget for Egan, as he gave Mitbaahy a poor ride in the 1.50, getting beat a neck, and getting a three day ban for hampering his rivals inside the final furlong. A talented jockey, but he needs to iron out his far too many mistakes, as he is prone to them.

Today at Chelmsford 1.35 Alexa’s Princess could well improve a good bit for her first try at 7f. She was closing last time over 5f, and in her first run over the extended trip, she is my pick.

In France today, Hurricane Lane 3.00 will be hard to beat, Third Realm at 5/2 without the favourite could be a good option, as he has good form, and bolted up last time, he did beat Alaydar last year in the Derby trial, before running a good race at Epsom, he seems to like soft ground as well.

I like Last Of A Legend 2.25 Market Rasen, she ran well just over a month ago, and will like the forecast good ground, as the track is very well maintained by the ground staff at the Lincolnshire venue.

More soon.
