1.55 Abe Lincoln This one was backed for the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot and finished a respectable fifth. Should be fitter today and top French rider Gerald Mosse rides. Weekend Offender will be popular but I think he may have quirks. 2.30 Barsanti Clear best on form here and finished second in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot last time. This is easier. 3.05 Sixties Groove Caught the eye in a very hot handicap at Royal Ascot last time. Mosse again. 3.40 Encrypted Top on form of those to have raced. The excellent James Doyle rides. Richard Fahey runs four but is not in great form just now. 4.15 Take Cover Normally runs at Group1/Group 2 level. This is Listed class and therefore easier. Should be best of these. 4.45 Theydon Grey Improving (won last two) and Georgia Cox is good value for her 5 lbs claim. 5.15 Mr Wagyu Winner at Ripon last time out in a good relative time. Looks to be nicely weighted for this. I'd be particularly keen on the ones in bold. Good Luck!
Back thi own fancies lad and don't listen to anyone else, if tha can't fancy owt then leave the race alone anyone who backs some one else's tips for me knows nowt and should keep clear. If you fancy a hoss and want to know its form do like all these tipsters and click on racing post go to the race you want then click on the hoss and it will tell you everything you want to know. My tip is get all thi sagging done before tha 40.
Wise words, as ever Upthecolliers. I would only add that if ever you back a horse, you should do it for a reason. Sometimes you might find others' reasons persuasive. Sometimes you might not. But a reason you must have, whether your own or someone else's. But above all else, you should be sure that the price of the horse offers value when the odds are compared to the horse's probable chances of winning. If your make sure of that and your assessments of probability are correct, you will win in the long run.
