Rizz will be out of action for about a week, but Cairnzy will step in to cover until he returns.
I missed Rizzel's two selections on Wednesday, so I can’t comment on how they performed.
I was a big fan of his main selection Saddadd, and I too was confident he would take the step up in class with no issues. He managed a third-place finish in the end, but I’d assume connections will feel a bit disappointed with the result.
I was due to start covering tomorrow, so tonight’s cover was a tad last-minute, so I haven’t had much time to look at the cards. We do have some great racing on offer, particularly at Newmarket on the flat. My sole selection is a tad short, but I do think it’ll shorten overnight, and I thought the price at present was potentially decent value.
Distant Storm 6/5 – Newmarket 3.35
This year's renewal of the Tattersalls Stakes looks quite interesting. There are plenty in this field with a chance at bigger odds, and I was initially tempted by the Ed Walker-trained Noble Champion. There was a lot to like about his debut performance, and the combination of Kieran Shoemark and trainer has paid punters handsomely this term. With that said, I still thought Distant Storm was the horse to be on, and his price of 6/5 suggests he is the one to beat. As previously mentioned, I expect the odds to potentially shorten, so I do think the 6/5 is potentially okay value.
Trainer Charlie Appleby has a great record in this race, and he certainly holds another strong hand this time round with Distant Storm and Catullus.
There was clearly a lot to like about Distant Storm as he fetched 1,900,000 at the breeze-ups, and he wasted no time in repaying connections by getting off the mark on debut in a now decent-looking maiden. The form of that maiden looks particularly strong, producing six winners, with one of them including Constitution River, who has since gone on to win a Group 2.
Connections then pitched Distant Storm into the Group 3 Acomb Stakes at York back in August. He was highly fancied to win that contest when sent off as an 11/10 favourite but had to settle for a third-place finish. He finished just over four lengths behind the eventual winner, but I thought he did well to finish as close as he did considering he raced extremely keen throughout the contest.
I’m hoping he can bounce back to winning ways here, as he definitely looks an exciting horse for the future, but he will definitely need to settle better for that to happen. Given he has only had the two runs to date, I expect him to come on for the recent outing, and he should have learnt plenty. I’m hoping Buick can pop him out prominently behind the pace with some cover and keep things simple.

MOUNTAINEER PARK – Race 4…Jumpin Jack Brass 5/2 Ber365.

PENN NATIONAL -Race 4…Great Kisser 7/4. Bet365
Class droppers aren’t always the way to go but with only 11 races and freshened up BOTH these look good.
Insurance Top 2 always an option
Morning Cairnzy + Rizzle. Hope you young gentlemen are doing well
I have no idea if this will post as I have never seen another comment on here in about 12 months but now I see a gentleman has posted his US bets above so here’s hoping.
King Roly today at Perth 2.33 is a really strong fancy today for me. I’m on at a fair but bigger odds but 2s is still there and I would have even taken that so for me there’s value still. It will probably drift out a bit as well .
Inox Allen ISN’T 100% today, he will need this race today. King Roly will be very hard to beat he loves it up here at Perth. 1, 2, 1,2 is his form at the track.
Mickey Bowen’ only runner today sending him on around a 950 mile round trip. Since taking over from Peter he has had 8 runners here with 4 winning. Peter a had a fantastic record here at almost 30% strike rate. Peter won this very race in 2022 with Statuario.
King Roly is unexposed over fences only having his 5th over them today. He’s clearly improving and I think he takes the world of beating today. He runs his best races this time if year winning last year in August and September.
The race should be set up for him. The only slight concern is Chief Sunday making his chase debut after a break so you just never know but he is drifting in the market.
I’m on Parish Councillor tonight at Newcastle which is my main bet today but those are short odds so not worth mentioning anything. All I’ll say is the visor will bring on a ton of improvement. He will defy that 3lb penalty with ease I guarantee.
I’ve probably wasted my time posting this but thought I’d just give it a go. Best of luck Cairnzy and Rizzle with Distant Storm.
Good to hear from you Hibee. Hope you’re well.
Me and the lads in our Kite Club were wondering what you were up to.
Keep the winners coming.
I’m great thanks my friend hope you are also and regards to the guys in the club.
And well done to the guys with Distant Storm yesterday. Very impressive run.
Not wasted at all Hibee, keep em coming !
Hibee 👌👌
Nice one Hibee

CHURCHILL DOWNS -Race 4…Luzza 5/2. Various
Was only beaten 3 1/2 lengths by TWO horse that went on to place in G1 races and even this is a bit of a class drop from that race.
He’s been off near 3 months but with jockey and trainer combo and what I can see from his small record he’s goid coming out fresh (it’s only his 12th start) so he should go very close

Off 7/2 won by a lengthening 6 lengths so definitely one keep an ear on 👀 😋
