Some very poor runs from the pair of selections yesterday. Tile Tapper was atrocious, which was a suprise as the money came in for him. Emitom was poor despite the fact he finished second. If I'm honest, the form of that race looks shoddy. With Dan McGrue finishing as close as he did in third, that puts the form in the bin for me, as he is a 115 rated horse, who ran off level weights.
Today's racing looks a good standard for a Saturday, but very competitive. There could have been a couple more selections, but I wasn't 100% confident on them, so I'd rather give them a pass.
Ascot 2:55
This is a cracking little race, with every horse in the race having a decent chance of winning the £44k prize. I think the top weight is the one they all have to beat, and I believe FANION D'ESTRUVAL has the ability to carry this big weight on testing ground.
He is 8lbs heavier for winning at Newbury in November, but the manner in which he did it was seriously impressive. That scenario at Newbury is similar to today. He goes against a competitive field, whilst carrying top weight again. He didn't bat an eyelid at Newbury despite carrying the top weight, and he cruised through the race like a horse who is Graded quality in a handicap. That run produced an RPR of 164, and that's not a surprise at all. I think that kind of run was to be expected after his eye-catching run the time before at Aintree where he stayed on extremely strong to get fourth that day behind some decent horses in Allmankind, Itchy Feet and Midnight Shadow. The form of that race alone has started to work out very nicely. Today's soft ground shouldn't be an issue, as he has won on very soft when previously trained in France by G Macaire. Lucy Turner actually takes the ride this time, so 7lbs is taken off from his weight, which is obviously very handy. Lucy has got a good strike rate, including this season.
The main rival will more than likely come from Palmers Hill who has been very productive from his two starts this season. He has been impressive in both of his wins, but this looks much tougher than those races he won. I think Killer Clown could be even a bigger threat as he won recently, and he was impressive in doing so, against some decent horses.

Not a betting race but really looking forward to the big clash of Shiskin and Energumene.
Neither horse has been really tested over fences yet and I just hope it’s the spectacle we all want to see.
I think Energumene has a chance on this ground and going right handed but if Shiskin does win then I can’t see the form being reversed at Cheltenham on spring ground.
Should Shiskin win easily then does Energumene move up to the Ryanair?
I don’t think it will turn out like Cyrname v Altior as neither horse ever recovered from that race and both Mullins and Henderson will be mindful of that as they have bigger plans for both horses.
BOL
On these mate fingers crossed for a good day ! Best of luck 👍
Start DC wish I seen your Nb.
Best of luck with the rest I’ve one of yours on but I’ll see how it goes before I say which one. ;)
Thought Cobolobo had it but will settle for the place return
Yeah unlucky there DC.
Took Jonbon(2/5 won) and Shiskin In a double at around 1.75/1. Be a great watch but Wanted a wee bet in there too and I can’t see by Shiskin.
Well done dc nice work today 👏

Give Gallic Charm another chance he’s out sharpish again but supposedly these are better conditions and liked his fast finish last run and price is certainly better.
Gallic Charm…3.45 10/3.

Good luck !!
Don’t think Jonbon will be winning the Supreme after that performance.
Na I was bit worried with the double with Shiskin there! 😅
£1.85 nearly downed with a “banker” 😉
DC If you take a line through Might I Jonbon just gave him 5 pound where Constitution Hill got 6 pound from Might I might be better than it looked.
Deb
True, I might be harsh, I have him at 7’s but for me needed to do more.
Will look at it again when I have time
DC Haydock is a tight enough track IMO for running wide the whole race Coleman obviously new he was on the best and just wanted to keep him out of trouble.
Hung a bit at the end head a bit high but he does jump his hurdles very fast which will help for the supreme 👍
GL
What a race. 2 absolute monsters
Takes a very special monster to get up like that after that huge peck on landing going down the back.
Going to be hard for Mullins to turn that form round on a course we know Shishkin loves DC.
Yes it will.
I wonder what rating Shiskin will have after that, 180 ?
Cracking race!
Aye the Shiskin rain him in! 👏 £€$¥
