Anyone backing Kupa River managed a bit of place money with the 14/1 about him – like we said in our notes yesterday, they really think this one will pick up a decent sprint this season, though this race was at just shy of a mile. He has shown best form on the softer surfaces but did lose his maiden on the firm

The start of a new week that will finish off with a couple of days at Goodwood – this afternoon sees meets at  Carlisle, Redcar with a couple of evening meets at Windsor & Leicester.

I’ve had access to a read called the Ultimate World Cup 2018 Stats Betting Pack and these guys have previous with their stats approach…….that dates back to the previous 2014 World Cup and has continued on from there.

At Newbury we were keeping more of on eye on Mark Johnston’s  Poet’s Prince and he notched a nice 1-2 in the 15.00 Al Zubarah London Gold Cup Handicap – with Communique winning going away under De Sousa.

A pleasing day at the office yesterday with ICE AGE doing the business at Newbury yesterday for EJ-H and Charles Bishop…..advised 11/1 and we followed that up with a nice EW BOG 12/1 place about Karen McLintock’s Rockwood who was running on well at the finish but never quite going to get there.

Back to today, the HQ meet, Lunar Jet won the Dubai Millennium impressively at Newbury  – he’s very short and more EW value looks to be had about Rotherwick. Paul Cole’s charge should have come on for that Windsor outing

Day 2 of the Dante Meeting at York and looking back at yesterday where we had nothing going in terms of selections – Out Do did indeed out do Orion’s Bow from yesterday’s notes, whilst Visitant gave us no clue as to whether 12f is a target trip?

First Day of the Dante Meeting at York and the guys from Timeform have produced a preview of the meet that can be downloaded for FREE at the York Dante Magazine link.

Beverley and Chepstow…’not so heavy’ today, there’s a few out we have noted previous in the 16.10 at Beverley – notably Dawaaleeb,  a big, Invincible Spirit horse taken from the Charlie Hills yard who progressed steadily throughout his three-year-old campaign.
