Really pleased to get a good winner for my subscribers yesterday. Arthurian Fable 7.00 Sandown, was advised at 7/2 yesterday morning. Trying a new trip of 1 mile 6 furlongs, the son of Sea The Stars relished being given a patient ride by Ryan Moore, staying on strongly on the climb to the line to score by over 2 lengths.

Today looks difficult at Newmarket. The 2.15 is a mile handicap for three year olds and upwards. Nugget is short priced favourite, and will probably be ridden with a bit of patience, I would expect Cognac to be ridden forward by William Buick, he could well make the running- regarding having a bet, it is a shame it only has 7 lining up. I did think the top weight Ambassadorial could have a decent chance, if he relaxes, as he can be keen and has a new jockey riding today in Tom Marquand.

At Ascot tomorrow Enable is short odds to win the King George V1 and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. I would not bet against her, as her recent race when second in the Eclipse at Sandown should have brought her forward.

More tomorrow.

Quite strong fields for a Monday. At Windsor this evening where the ground is officially good to firm, with no rain forecast. Fairy Dust has been well supported in the betting market this morning. She ran well at the track on her debut. Better drawn today than she was on her first start, where she raced wide, giving a lot of ground away. She has a good chance of winning here, with her likely main threats drawn out wide in 11 and 12.

Grand Rumore is around 5/1 for the 6.00 race. She ran well when second 16 days ago at Haydock, although that was on different ground than she faces tonight. Endured was a really promising 2nd on his only run, that was back in January. Given time by Marco Botti, he could be the one to beat if he is fit for this 1 mile maiden.

More tomorrow.

A good winner for my subscribers yesterday. Magic J 4.55 Sandown, was backed from 9/4- 7/4 before running out a ready winner under Oisin Murphy. The cheek pieces first time clearly helped the son of Scat Daddy focus better. If he is not given too much of a raise by the handicapper, he may well win again. July has been good so far with over 8 points profit, so hopefully it can keep going.

I fancy a few today. I could see Revolver winning again at Haydock 5.55. He has been given a 7lb rise since his last win, but he looked as though he had a bit in hand at Doncaster, so I would not bet against him.

More tomorrow.

Good run by my advised each way selection Atalis Bay 12.25 Windsor, who was third at 14/1, so a bit of profit for my subscribers.

I thought it was a typical Monday days racing. At Kempton this evening. The 5.40 race is a difficult race to dissect. I did think the course and distance winner Delilah Park at 7/1 was a decent price each way. With top weight of 10 stone, it will be hard to win. But very good track form and usual rider on top George Wood, it is not out of the question, that she can win again.

More tomorrow.

Strong fields today at Ascot. I thought the most competitive race on the card was the 3.15. Mohaather was considered a very unlucky loser when running at the track 25 days ago. He will likely start as a warm favourite for this 1 mile event. I would rather look for a little bit of value elsewhere, so Skardu at 7/1 generally with a few betting firms, was my each way selection.

At Newmarket the 3.35 is the Darley July Cup Stakes, a Group 1 event over 6f. With a first prize of just over £140, 000 to the winner. It is very open this year. And on ground that may of dried out a little overnight, Threat was an interesting one for me. He was a really decent two year old, and dropping back to 6f should not be a major issue. At around 8/1 he would be my selection each way, as long as the ground keeps drying out.

More later.

A good winner for my subscribers yesterday. Beauty Choice 6.00 Chepstow was advised at 3/1 yesterday morning. Heavily supported in the betting market into around 7/4. Making just about all the running under Kieran Shoemark, and staying on strongly to win by just under a length.

Today I thought the racing was pretty tough. With rain overnight at Newmarket, the ground will ride probably on the soft side. Dandalla 2.25 was impressive when winning at Ascot last time, she should be ok on the ground today, as it was good to soft when she won there. Very short in the betting at around 6/5, she should win, but is a little bit short for me to get involved.

So I am waiting on the weather update, and possibly will back something closer to race time, if a deluge of rain does not arrive.

More later.

Good winner for my subscribers yesterday. Win O’Clock 7.15 Leicester was advised at 6/4 yesterday morning, a couple of withdrawals through the day, saw a deduction. But he did well to win, and any winner is a good price. Today’s cards have a few strongly contested races. At Newbury this evening I like Majestic Noor 8.10. The daughter of Frankel looks capable of winning off her handicap mark. Possibly most to fear from the Godolphin filly, who won on the all weather last time at Kempton, and is a well bred filly, who should be as progressive as my selection, but might not be able to concede weight today.

Pinatubo is all the rage in the betting for Sunday’s Prix Jean Prat in France. He should be ideally suited by the 7f trip, and looks the one to beat.

After another month of profit during June, over 3 points – which I am pleased with, considering the first month of any new season can be testing.

An excellent start to July with Kartara advised to my subscribers at 7/2 yesterday morning, she was a very easy winner at Kempton 5.40.

I did not advise a bet today. And looking at the weather forecast, it looks as though a fair amount of rain spreading across the UK this evening and tomorrow. Hopefully it will miss the south of the country. Big news today is Mogul is the choice of Ryan Moore, and a fair amount of support has been seen since it has been confirmed on the 48 declarations.

More tomorrow.

Pleased to find a good winner for my subscribers yesterday. I advised backing Volkan Star for yesterday’s 3.15 Newmarket- ante post on Thursday, at 7/4, he returned at 5/6, so a nice bit of value found. I did think it was tough going today, so not had a bet yet, finding winners is never easy.

Looking ahead to next weekend, the Derby looks a real head scratcher this year. The 2,000 guineas winner Kameko is around 4/1, he has possible stamina concerns, he gets the mile very well, but an extra 4f is a big question. No doubt he has a lot of class, and if he gets the trip well, he is the one to beat. But English King is a strong stayer, lightly raced, has now the asset of Frankie Dettori on top, so he would be my slight preference, in a race where you can make a case for a few other, particularly Pyledriver and Russian Emporer.

More tomorrow.

With warm conditions the ground is drying out. Quite a few horses have been taken out today.

At Haydock the ground should be good – good to firm in places. I think Returnofthemac could well win again 2.45. He likes to get on with things, and I expect him to be ridden with the leaders, if not making the running, he could have most to fear from well handicapped Nat Love, who has Richard Kingscote on top, who rides this track really well.

The Thebian 5.25 Leicester has a solid chance of getting off the mark, he drops to 6f and ran ok last time over 7f, behind two fairly useful types.

More later.
