Havana Gold Maiden Stakes (Plus 10) over 5f on good going. Seven two-year-olds take part: two with racecourse experience. Hugo Palmer has started this two-year-old season in earnest and Barend Boy ran a cracking race on debut at Leicester. To be fair, this British-bred son of Oasis Dream didn't look like he was going to trouble the leaders when made 9/4f. However, this bay colt really found his stride in the closing furlong and could well have beaten Marie's Diamond if inexperience hadn't proved costly. Palmer has given this youngster an entry for the Lily Agnes but this option looks to have taken preference. With that valuable experience onside, I can see Barend Boy taking some stopping. Should enjoy this stiff finish. Mark Johnston has been in pretty good form this early season if not quite achieving the dizzy heights of former seasons. Smile A Mile was made an odds-on shot for his debut at Newcastle but failed to shine. This chestnut son of Slade Power must

Friday 11th August A busy day so not much time to look too in depth. 1:50 Wolverhampton - The three big guns in the betting and all held in high regard by their respective trainers. Mokaatil, Corinthia Knight & Moseeb have significant entries. Moseeb seems a touch temperamental and disappointed at Ripon last time. Mokaatil doesn't have to shoulder a win penalty which is a clear advantage. I can see a few punters fancying Corinthia Knight as a fair each-way bet if drifting a touch in the betting. A fascinating race. 6:35 Newmarket - A big maiden. Plenty of horses with reputations. Wafy is worthy of note for Charlie Hills.

An EBF Maiden Stakes over 6f on good to soft going. Legible for colts and fillies but the girls have been scared off by a ten-strong team of snips and snails and puppy dog tails... [colts & geldings for those not akin to the popular nursery rhyme]. My blogs do veer off into the unknown at times but what is life without prose? An intriguing race with a few potentially class two-year-olds hoping to make it second time lucky. I've been mentioning Fatherly Friend in dispatches. Karl Burke is a superb trainer and I happen to know he likes this son of Scat Daddy. Hubert Strecher's American-bred colt was fancied to go well on debut but the combination of inexperience and a tough race saw a respectable fourth with the hope of much more to come. This January foal was entered to run at Carlisle but a wide draw and sticky ground gave connections good reason to take him out of that race. Connections will be expecting a big run and this is one of the best two-year-olds at Spigot L

Another long day - far too much racing for my liking. Stuck on the conveyor belt of equine inquisition. All good. Click on the banner above this post to visit our latest website. It's my aim to build 100 websites and if each makes a few thousand a year I will live the high life on the coast eating candy floss and toffee apples until I'm toothless. Oh the joys of pursuing your dream. A couple of two-year-olds ran well Thursday - Bobby Wheeler held two entries on Group Horse and Clive Cox said today that they fancied him to go well on debut at Goodwood but the ground was a bit lively. Considering this son of Pivotal had been off course a couple of months I imagine he suffered sore shins. A lovely display at Salisbury although the race was nothing beyond ordinary being a Maiden Auction Stakes. He looks a good prospect who will be given pattern entries in the near future. I went into town today and had a chat and tea with Eric of Eric Winner fame. I said to the sprint maestro that

Rather late with this update. A maiden stakes race over 7f on good to firm going. Eleven two-year-olds - all colts although open to fillies. A few talking horses here. Emotionless is trained by Charlie Appleby, one of two debutantes in this field. This American bred colt, a son of Shamardal is out of a Grade 1 winning mare [Unbridled Elaine] who won over $1,000,000 in prize money. Bred to be good, he has a raft of flashy Group entries that detail this bay colt has ability. The word is out as the price is pretty short at 13/8. Whether punters want to take those odds is a matter of debate although I would be very surprised if Charlie Appleby's charge doesn't run a big race. Venturous looks to be second string although holds a Middle Park Stakes. He cost 110,000gns as a foal. Probably best watched although it wouldn't be the first time the white hat spoiled the party. Quite interested to see how Sun Lover goes for Luca Cumani. This son of Oasis Dream is out of an unraced mare. He

Nothing too outstanding to consider but a few pointers for horses that could go well this season. Interested in seeing how Taurean Star goes here. Michael Bell has a pretty poor strike rate on debut which makes me wonder if this American bred son of Elnadin will be better second time out. It's a plus Jamie Spencer is on board and a Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2) entry brings confidence. It wouldn't be a surprise to see this bay colt show up well. On balance, I'd take a watching brief. 3:25 Newmarket - *Nemoralia is held in high regard by connections and done little wrong last start over course and distance. Not the biggest price at 7/4 but must go well. 4:20 Goodwood - A very interesting maiden and a few well touted two-year-olds looking for this big purse of £16,000 to the winner. *Beast Mode could be capable of better. Mediciman has sound each way claims if priced 13/2 & less SP. Tigerwolf is high in the pecking order for Mick Channon although very few debutant

A busy day so not so much time to give an in depth review but a couple of races worth noting. 2:40 Haydock - Quite a sizable field and a few juveniles which have run well or have something of a reputation. Edification is on a recover mission after a disappointing effort at Windsor. Blinkers first time bring concern. Laughton has been given a Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2) entry for Kevin Ryan. This son of Acclamation was purchased privately for 8,000euro and recently sold at the breeze-up sales for 150,000euor. Fancied in the betting which brings encouragement. Karl Burke is a class trainer and Wayward Hoof could go well. This son of Equiano was purchased by the trainer at the yearling sales for 40,000GNS. It is worth noting this bay colt was fielded at Stakes class on debut and backed. He showed ability against more experienced/talented rivals but far from disgraced. He is another horse to hold a Gimcrack entry and only one of two for the stable. 6:15 Newmarket

I've been a bit quiet of late so I thought I'd just give a thought or two: 3:20 Ascot - Interest auction race over 7f. Knight Commander should improve for his debut and must have fair each-way claims. Bernie Boy would have claims if priced in single-figure odds. Any Guest is interesting for George Margarson. This colt held an entry for Royal Ascot and the stable can go well on debut although they have very few juveniles these days. Would bring more hope if backed. Quite a competitive race for the grade. 4:00 York - Worth noting a few of these hold Gimcrack entries which give encouragement. Kevin Ryan does well here and I'd be pretty confident Mont Kiara has ability. Reputation is another to be given a Gimcrack entry. John Quinn's two-year-olds can be a touch hit and miss but worthy of note and could be backed from 12/1. 4:20 Newmarket - The most interesting race for me. Ballydoyle is a fair nut to crack after a bold show at Royal Ascot. At such short odds the prices of

A Conditions Stakes over 5f on good ground. An eight strong field of two-year-olds colts and one gelding. Three juveniles have race experience. Bill Turner has started the season in earnest and Abscent Friends made a winning debut at Southwell when fancied in the betting (4/1). This son of Showingcasing is owned by the trainer's daughter and ridden by his grandson. This February foal is very much an unfurnished horse with a lot of growing to do and quite dip backed. It didn't stop him from winning is fair style although it is difficult to assess the level of that form. Toytown - who finished down the field in the Brocklesby - wasn't beaten a great number of lengths, although tired rapidly in the final furlong. This looks a stiffer competition and although improvement is on the cards I would favour others. Flyball ran well in the Brocklesby, finishing third, then won on the nod next start at Leicester. Richard Hannon's youngster was a relatively cheap buy but a good-looking colt

An EBF Median Auction Maiden Stakes over 6f on good ground. Eight two-year-olds take part: all colts bar one filly including two debutantes. An intriguing contest. Tanzeel ran well on debut at Ascot, chasing home winner, Mappa Mundi, giving the impression there would be ample improvement to come. This well-bred son of Elusive City cost 100,000gns as a yearling and held in some regard with entries for the Gimcrack Stakes (Group 2) & Champagne Stakes (Group 2). The form of that initial start looks strong for this grade, which, by all accounts, is a drop in class. It will take a fair horse to beat Charlie Hill's charge. This is most likely a stepping stone to loftier targets. Brian Meehan has not really hit the heights with his juveniles this season featuring rather patchy successes with a few dismal failures from well fancied horses thought to go well on their second start. This is usually the time to strike with this talented trainer. Headlong is a grey colt who fits this criteri

The Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes Group 2 (formerly the Cherry Hinton) over 6f on good to firm ground. Eight fillies take part. Rizeena must be the apple of Clive Brittain's eye. This daughter of Iffraaj has progressed with every race and could well have been unbeaten in four starts if a little wiser on her debut at Newmarket. A stylish win at Ascot was eclipsed with victory at Sandown in the National Stakes Listed. This bay filly proved a class act when a visit to Royal Ascot afforded success in the Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2). By all accounts this step up to 6f could see further improvement. Even with a penalty this March foal must take all the beating and thoughts of her ultimate two-year-old goal the Cheveley Park Stakes (Group 1) will be on the cards. A class horse.

The July Stakes (Group 2) for colts & geldings over 6f on good to firm ground. Eleven two-year-olds take part, all raced, winners bar one horse who has finished runner-up twice. A first prize of over £45,000 sees a trio of juveniles head straight here from Royal Ascot. Added to this a number of up-and-coming talents who will be hoping they can make a name for themselves. Sir John Hawkins sets the standard on form after finishing third at Royal Ascot when competing in the Coventry Stakes (Group 2) over 6f. This Irish raider was fancied to go well that day and Ryan Moore keeps the ride for Michael Tabor's juvenile's, trained by Aidan O'Brien. Their stable mate - War Command - won that contest impressively. This may have been a reflection on those in behind: fair horses without star quality. It will be interesting to see whether he can take this race. Jallota finished 5th in the Coventry and looks held by the above mentioned. In ways the proximity of Mick Channon'

A Conditions Stakes race over 5f on good ground. A small field of five two-year-olds, four with form, three winners, one debutante, a mix of colts & fillies. A stiffer test for these debut victors. With early-season form thin on the ground Stakes races can be hellishly difficult to call. Mark Johnston has started this campaign on a positive note with a couple of debut winners, including Split Rock who ran out a tidy winner at Southwell. This son of Shamardal, out of a Listed-winning mare, was professional that day and sure to improve with racing. The problem is trying to assess the merit of that form. He looks a well made colt and will make the fillies look on the weak side. This stable should be respected. Tobias Coles is a talented trainer who does well with his small string of two-year-olds. Orton Park, a daughter of Moss Vale, is a good-looking bay and fair yearling purchase at £19,000. She was quite fancied on debut at Kempton and certainly knew her job. Held up

Shadwell Fillies' Mile (Group 1) on good ground. A select field of just seven class two-year-olds striving to win prize money of £92,720.85. Godolphin will be hoping Certify can make this four wins from four races. This American bred daughter of Elusive Quality was a bargain buy at $80,000 and trained with great professionalism by Mahmood Al Zarooni. Unbeaten in three starts, this bay filly has proven herself to be top flight taking the Sweet Solera Stakes (Group 3) & May Hill Stakes (Group 2) in gutsy fashion last time when pipping William Muir's talent Purr Along. Certify has proven to be a versatile horse, progressively stepping up in distance to a mile. On form she holds Masarah. Another filly featuring an unblemished record after three straight wins is Mick Channon's Ollie Olga. This January foal was a cracking buy at 42,000gns. An American bred daughter of Stormy Atlantic she is the type to do just enough as seen by her narrow victories but l

A Maiden Fillies' Stakes over 7f on good to firm ground. William Jarvis' two-year-old runners have been quiet this season but Raskova may bring a smile to the face of this talented trainer. This American-bred daughter of Henrythenavigator was an expensive yearling purchase at 130,000gns. There was good money for this youngster when making her debut at Yarmouth. However, she drifted markedly in the betting just before the off, which suggested this April foal was in need of the experience. Her performance indicated this point: a slow start, pushed along in rear, before running on in the closing stages. That was a fair maiden and connections were pleased with what they saw. The key point is that she needs this extra furlong. Clearly this was a point of contention as Raskova was originally entered for the Lowther Stakes (Group 2), which could be a significant pointer hinting that ambitious plans are in mind. This trip will be ideal. That initial experience should make all the difference a

TNT July Stakes (Group 2) over 6f on good to soft ground. Nine colts, all experienced, take part in this competitive affair. Ahern made an impressive start to his career when winning a Stakes race at Musselburgh with ease. David Barron must have been disappointed with his juvenile's performance in the Norfolk Stakes (Group 2), which was ruined by a tardy start. In truth, this recently-purchased [Qatar Racing Ltd] son of Dutch Art ran a super race and would most likely have won had he started on terms. This extra furlong should make life easier and I would expect this youngster to reverse the form with Gale Force Ten. Richard Hannon had a few near misses at Royal Ascot & Andrew Tinkler will be hoping *Sir Prancealot can show his well being after a fantastic fourth in the Coventry Stakes (Group 2). Heavy Metal was left behind that day and would need to have disappointed to turn the tables, which looks unlikely. On a form line with Woodcote Stakes (Listed) winner Chilw
