Kind words, thanks CJ.

Couple from yesterday

Blanket finish at Doncaster, nose, nose & short head.
Only a fairly useful 0-85 handicap but worth noting run of Folk Dance (#12 pink cap) upped in distance on handicap debut off 74. Travelled strongly and still on bridle when no room 2F out, kept on for hands & heels, finished with running left. Likely to progress further.



Decent novice event over 10F at Doncaster. Matthew Flinders was an eyecatcher at Haydock 3 weeks ago and duly did the business with minimum of fuss here, travelled strongly, kept up to work and value for more than winning margin. Did hold a Derby entry, plenty of scope for improvement, looks one to keep on the right side of.

One from yesterday.

Opener at Leopardstown over 7F only an ordinary maiden but impressive debut from Cadillac, recording closing splits of 11.6s, 11.9s & 11.9s mark him out as a smart prospect. Will improve, step up to 1M shouldn't be a problem.

Derby -Kameko
Oaks - Love
Eclipse - Lord North.

Had a decent win on Lord North recently and been waiting for the horse to come back out

Hope he gets a run, Gosden well known for keeping top class stablemates apart.

Lord North non runner in the Eclipse.

Interesting novice event over 7F 26yds at Wolverhampton yesterday. Coventry 4th Dark Lion was the form pick and got off the mark without having to improve. Return to 6F could see further improvement. Knight Salute finished strongly to take 2nd after being shaken up around the 2F mark, pedigree suggests this would have been sharp enough for him so promising debut and sure to progress from this. Eagle's Realm was given a kind introduction, kept on & not knocked about, will have learned plenty, better to come, should be suited by 1M+.
