Lawney Hill's only runner on the day, trainer's form over hurdles in last two months reads 11137113F1313. Rock Me won better races than this last summer and the only worry is he won't be ready to go after 200 days off the track but with stable form so good atm that looks unlikely.

Not up to it in better race than this last time but had two wins on the trot before that on his first two starts for Brian Ellison - Stable bang in-form. Should be more at home at this level.

Actually 8lbs out of the handicap here but two decent ish efforts last month and step up to 3m3f looks like it'll suit so definite place contender.

Could be as good as Frankel judging last year's form, the easing conditions will be a plus and could give him the advantage.

Zoffany 25/1 Ladbrokes
Group One winner last season, made decent comeback when second to Bewitched last month (stablemate but Zoffany was shorter in betting) and sure to come on for that run given stable's history.

Surely should be bigger price differential between the two principles, Goldikova only just holding off Paco Boy last year and I'm sure Canford would be much shorter if he was up against Paco Boy!

Little doubt in my mind he's the best in this race, is improving all the time and step up to this will really suit.

So progressive this season, up 10lbs since winning this last year but it'll be hard to stop him, looks long odds-on to place to me.

So impressive lto at Musselburgh, he could be anything really and this could be the last time we see such generous odds on offer.

3 winners, happy with that Delighted with Veiled, was really top class!

Unfortunately the BBC coverage I found shocking today. Willie Carson came across as a real ignorant oaf and would also appreciate a little more than 6-7 minutes of analysis before every race!

BBC coverage of racing is muck, Their pieces on some horses before the races do be good alright but willie carson is a tit he does my nut in.

Jacqueline Quest 25/1 Hills
Only lost Guineas last year in the stewards' room and then went on to finish third in the Group One Coronation here. Has beaten a few of these in the past (twice ahead of Music Show) so looks a big price. Comeback run was disappointing this year but same could be said last year before she put up her career best in the Guineas.

1pt each way Twice Over 18/1 Stan James
Think this is far more open than the market suggests with most of these having a chance. Twice Over was right up to his best last season winning Eclipse and Champion Stakes and has a good reord here the last three years, very close to winning this last year. Returned this season with a Group 2 success at Meydan and I'm willing to forgive poor effort last time out as a mile is really too short for him.

Greatly improved this season, 3rd in Irish Guineas would give him a chance here and hopefully more improvement to come.

Disappointing day, Dance and Dance the one that got away! Onwards and upwards...!


Been following a Salisbury Maiden from last September for the last while and it's been working well. Chain Lightning won ahead of stablemate Census in very heavy conditions that day, with the first 4 home winning next time out and first five winning since then. Stable and jockey in flying form this week too!

Census won his maiden easily at Bath last October and runs in the King George tomorrow after hacking up on his comeback run at Newbury doing it really impressively, is raised 9lbs for that but i'll be hoping for plenty more improvement to come.

Chain Lightning also improved again when winning comeback handicap at Sandown in good style, running off 85. He has enough pace for a mile and Hughes stays onboard having a choice of four Hannon runners in this.

Cesarewitch winner last season, look for this fella to be staying on through the field when the rest have had enough, stays all day and the rain looks like making this even more of a test which will suit. Most of the field won't stay 2.5 miles, can't be having the top two in the market with such doubts over stamina.

Geordieland 22/1 Sportingbet
Off the track for two years but goes very well fresh, even ran poorer than expected in this in 2009 beacause the race came too soon, was second the previous two years to Yeats but there's nothing of Yeats' quality in this field so I'll take a punt on Geordieland having retained his ability.

Happy Today 3pts win 36 3pts place 8
Was second to Dordogne in a Listed event at Newmarket in April and then stayed on very strongly in the 2000 Guineas into sixth behind Frankel. That looks pretty decent form for this Group 3 so 35/1 looks insulting.

Unexposed especially over this trip, was 6th in Cambridgeshire last year on just fourth start taking on some much more experienced horses. 8th in York handicap on return this season but looked like a step up in trip would suit and really wasn't given a hard race there.

MAX 5pts each way Chain Lightning 5/2 Boyles PP
Had this fella put down as an even money shot :eek: He won his maiden impressively in a hot race at Salisbury last September in heavy conditions, with the next three home winning next time out. Returned this season with an easy win in a handicap off 85 over this course and distance with some more good types in behind - Dominant, Glencadam Gold and Samurai Sword all winning since and now rated 20lbs, 8lbs and 10lbs higher respectively. Chain Lightning is just 6lbs higher now and looks like he could prove much better.

The colt was backed off the boards last time out in the Brittania Handicap at Ascot, 16s early morning into 6s fav at the off. He was drawn in no man's land in stall 11 but managed to get over to race with the stand's side group. Unfortunately he never got any cover and was forced to race away from the rail towards the center of the track which proved his undoing. But he did do very well to finish 8th home that day, looked like he'd every chance a couple of furlongs out but just didn't have the track position.


Going each-way on a 5/2 shot some say is silly but I was quite frankly insulted to be offered 1/2 for this colt to place
