Trainer said after the race that horse wasn't fully fit to do itself justice!
Yeah, cheers!Ouija Board looks overpriced in the 3.50 and Babodana is worth a small EW bet at around 40-1 in the Royal Hunt Cup at 4.25. Babodana is very consistent but could do with a little more rain.
Feel free to post any fancies!

Ouija Board is classy enough. English and Irish Oaks winner and a winner at the Breeders Cup in 2004. It just looks a massive price today although the trip might be on the sharp side. A fast pace would suit.

Better than nothing!
I was on at 8-1. I had a win single on Ouija Board, EW on Babodana and win double on both. Shame Babodana didn't win. I'd of needed a wheelbarrow to collect my winnings!
It was given a cracking ride by Peslier and won pretty cosily in the end. Sometimes you've just got to ignore the hype on such horses as David Junior (11-8 fav). Its a decent horse but was hyped up by the trainer too much after it won in Dubai.
I'll post my selections for each race later on. It looks quite a tough day though.
2.35 Dutch Art
3.10 Scottish Stage
3.50 Distinction
4.25 Sir Gerard
4.55 Ivy Creek (NAP)
5.30 Grey Boy
I know i said it looked a difficult day but i really fancy the first 5 in that list quite strongly. Ivy Creek looks the best bet as it was so unlucky last time.
I've just done all 6 in a Lucky 63 (6 horses). The last race was a toss up between Grey Boy and the one owned by Sheikh Mohammed (number 2 i think).

The only bad thing is that the first 5 in my list will all most likely start favourite.
Still, a winners a winner!

3.10 Scottish Stage - 2nd 5-2 Damn unlucky. It got stopped about 3 times and by the time it got out the winner had got too much momentum. Fallon said he only had the chance to give it one smack.
3.50 Distinction - 3rd
4.25 Sir Gerard - 1st 9-2 could have had 11-1 first thing in the morning. It was even 8-1 when i put my bet on but i didn't take it!
4.55 Ivy Creek (NAP) - Unplaced - Played up before the start and then pull hard and ran wide throughout the race. One to bear in mind for the future especially when stepped up to 1m 4f.
5.30 Grey Boy- Unplaced
Looks impossible today. I've done a Lucky 31 on the TV races for a little bit of interest.
Amber Valley 235
