York 1.45

Moose Moran 28/1 E/W

Improving horse which ran well in the Queens Vase at Ascot didn't seem to get the 2 miles so drop to 1m6f could do the trick, its high in the weights but didnt stop Corsica doing well in handicaps who it finished close behind at Ascot and has decent draw today.

York 2.15

Kings Gambit 9/2 W/O Rainbow Peak

Finished behind Rainbow Peak while getting weight 2 starts back so makes sense to do it without the hot fav, Gambit was unlucky not to win the John Smiths Cup just done by Wigmore Hall which even went to the stewards, Wigmore Hall was getting loads of weight with it being a handicap and it being 3yo but has since beat Chabal with ease and goes for Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park which boosts Gambits form.

York 3.25 Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes

Starspangledbanner 11/4

I thought so but then again, a few people I've spoken to disagree, thinking Leeds will cover the spread. After all, Hull are stronger than Catalans.

IMO, Leeds have a strong 19 but will start to withdraw the key players if the game looks comfortable.

I'm extremely interested in Stan James' even money for Leeds to beat Warrington in 80 minutes next week. I know Peacok is out but for Wire to go in favourites really surprises me.

I also agree on Hull +16 looking a good bet.

Killarney 18:50 Dancing Tornado 16/1 E/W

Won pretty well when last in a handicap hurdle with this good claimer on board, was due to be ridden by McCoy in the Galway Plate but was lame, hopefully ready now for another crack at hurdles worry about the ground though as RP have it good-firm but ATR have it at good, in RP results from yesterday at Killarney it was yielding.

I fancy Equiano to topple SSB today.

Didn't back anything but was more tempted to lay the favourite and see if one of the others could beat him - and it was a 100/1 shot.

Quite a lot of well backed horses have went in this week, so I would imagine bookies up and down the land will be sending Edward Lynam a few packs of cigars and crates of champagne.

Wouldn't have minded a quid on the tricast; 1st 100/1, 2nd 6/4F, 3rd 100/1

Double

Yeah - big surprise in the Nunthorpe, backed Rose Blossom myself at 20/1 who led at a blistering pace for much of the way in the first time headgear.

On betfair Solepower was 261/1 and the 3rd was 331/1 unreal

Not sure about this one.

Hull didn't look particularly imaginative and capable of scoring big points last week but conditions were poor and Child didn't help. Would fancy Wire for a big win but the let me down for a decent acca when backed at(-20) last week on the extended handicap against Wakefield. And after the circumstances which I lost on Dustin Johnson I need some good cheer so might leave this one alone.

Maybe a token bet.
