Good racing today at the meetings at Ascot and Haydock. It was good to see Grey Dawning win, well ridden by Harry Skelton ! He must have read my blog recently, as he was in the perfect place at all times, and oozed confidence going to the last fence.

I managed to find a winner in France today with Mondialito D’Huez , who was heavily supported from around evens into 8/15. He remains unbeaten and will likely now go over hurdles.

It was sad to see il Est Francais get pulled up three fences out at Ascot in the 1.30 race. He has a history of breaking blood vessels in the past and it will be interesting to see if that was the case again today.

I will put something on tomorrow morning worth looking at in France, at the meeting at Auteuil.
