Going to stall off for another 2 hours before placing my bets in case the weather does turn, but at first glance I'd be throwing a few quid e/w on Green Door in the Norfolk (especially seeing how Spencer is not in the plate), Rite Of Passage as he owes me nothing & Last Train in the Gold Cup, Alive Alive Oh (obviously) to win the Ribblesdale with a saver on Riposte, Won Diamond looks nicely plotted by Mick Halford in the Brittania, I backed Kitten On The Run LTO on his British debut so I'll give him a small e/w bet in the 5.00 and I'm backing Spillway in the last, he finished a nose in front of Kitten On The Run at Newbury and I think this mark is well within his grasp... Could change my mind completely if the rain arrives in spades of course....

Overthelast

I need rain for Simenon.

if there was lightening in the area, I'd assume racing would be delayed until it passed?

Overthelast

I doubt it will even come to that. They've escaped everything so far. Ground hardening all the time (:().

Im beginning to warm to the chances of Remote in the 5.00 @ 11/4

Seriously impressive last time out, and faces some rivals with decent form, namely Indian Chief and Chopin who's form ties in well with the Derby, but Remote could well be good enough to win this. The way he beat a decent horse in Baltic Knight last time was very impressive and the time was good. He'll also love the good to firm going if it stays like that, and the same cant be said for a few of the other fancied runners. Remote seems to be improving at a rate of knots and hopefully he can improve past some good horses here.

Currently around the 11/4 & 5/2 mark in places, he's obviously priced on potential and i'll be hoping he drifts a bit near the off as at the the currents odds he's probably under-priced given the form of some his rivals. If he's 3/1 or bigger i'll have a nice bet.

kiers47

I've expressed before my liking for o briens coach house. Took the 3/1 pp offered last night. Good to see the money coming now 7/4 in places.
Also like many gone for Alive Alive Oh @11/4. A small double as well.

UnitedIrishman

Gone for:
Coach House
Alive Alive Oh
Simenon
Chopin (ew)
Space Ship (ew)

And different multiples of these.

Tenpted to go with Wentworth in the 4.25 given he should've won his race last time out bar Hughesy getting him in a bad position and getting stuck in traffic. Find it hard to see value in it at 4/1 though.

Johner

Couldn't have Coach House at all in the first at the prices.

Coulstys maiden is working out quite well with the 2nd and 4th winning next time out. I'll take him each way at 7/1.

Don't like coach house either.

I've had a small each way bet on Saayerr.
Unbeaten and showed last time that he'll battle all the way to the line.
Trainer won this a few years ago with a similarly campaigned type

UrbanSea

I wasn't convinced with Coach House before but he looked really top class st the Curragh, quickened up really well and they finished nicely.clear. bit short but a deserved favourite.

I would be a bit worried about Alive Alive Oh on quick ground but she looks very very good.

jimjamcos

Alive Alive Oh set to be a NR!!!

Letyourselfgo

alive alive oh about to be a nr

carmanard

Alive Alive Oh is being pulled out according to ATR

slaneylad

alive alive oh is a non runner

d-gal

Was powers NRNB last couple of days? Know bet365 were. Thinking of the amount of people that backed her!

Exactly what I'm wondering..

tonic wine

Do doubles with alive alive oh become singles or void?

Thanks.

Johner

Alive Alive,

Oh.

jimjamcos

I backed AAO 2 days ago and got my stake back there so must of been NRNB

carpothepunk

Just been refunded by both Paddy and Boyles.

carpothepunk

Actually a little surprised at how much I had on her haha. Had been reinvesting a few quid every day the last few days.

Slattsy

Ah balls

carmanard

Boyles have refunded me too, money returned better than money lost outright I suppose but it's still a pain in the bollix... I hope Weld doesn't follow suit & pull Rite of Passage too or this could be a very dull day for me...

Overthelast

I think weld should pull out rite of passage

UrbanSea

An already weak looking Ribblesdale has just turned into the worst group 2 I've ever seen. Very very nice opportunity for fillies to get some black type

jimjamcos

What's the story with ground now lads? Any rain likely?

Hulk Hands

Coulsty 9/1 with hills and 365, I can't let that go.

jimjamcos

Late decision going to be made on Rite of Passage

carmanard

Ah for fck... Weld is stalling on his decision Already had a saver on Last Train so might go in again just in case

kfallon

Looks like Rite of Passage may be a NR too, Weld leaving it to the last minute

Overthelast

Weld leaving ROP decision to last minute per ATR.

Overthelast

Ground bone dry over there.

Slattsy

Saddlers Rock will love the quick ground in the GC.

UrbanSea

Might be worth keeping an eye on some of the American bred horses they are bred to run on roads the turf breds

carmanard

Cape Peron will surely be pulled from the Brittania given that the ground is that firm??
Also just realised that having backed Riposte and Last Train, I'm looking for a broodmare (Rainbow Lake) to produce 2 horses to win at Royal Ascot on the same day, don't think that's ever happened before but couldn't swear to it...

jimjamcos

Will Weld pull Big Break tomorrow too if ground remains the same?

Overthelast

Wards no say never. Gave a good word on ATR there 15 min ago.

To be fair, I wouldn't blame any trainer for pulling them out if it gets too hard. They will water after racing if no rain comes today.

Ah yea, couldn't blame a trainer for looking after their horse. I'm just being a selfish punter! :P

Slattsy

Bet they water this evening and the heavy rain will arrive during the night..

Viztoria too will prob be a NR

They'll have no other option other than to water it though, even if it's still promising rain. Worst case scenario for clerk is big trainers pulling their horses because of ground risk.

Slattsy

By default, im going with Coach House in the opener #****it

Small bet on Franks horse too at 16s

Nothing wrong with that!

carmanard

If Frank Spencer was on Green Door & Crowley was on the filly I'd have no hesitation in switching my bet, I refuse to let that gimp carry any of my money anymore. As it stands I'm happy to stick with Green Door, form looks solid enough, trainer reckons he works better than the horse he sent out to win the Windsor Castle on Tuesday & yer man Redvers the owners rep gave it a good shout on the Morning Line... Cue the Ballydoyle horse hosing up now....

droidman123

Hope it doesnt rain,in fact i hope they tarmac the course, shebebi in the britannia will love the going : )
