Ratings for this week , hope I can keep last weeks form going.
iiii- YORK 2.05 - CULTARATI - 9-4 - Had few races but goes well fresh having won 4 out of five in four years and 2 from 2 in handicaps, already been backed in from 3-1 for trainer who is having a good year. Previous course winner. LOST oh dear me my old favourite Get Knotted wins race for third year on trotThank goodness I cashed out the big double with CRACKSMAN
iii- NEWCASTLE 2.45 - DESERT RULER - 7-1- C & D WINNER who looks like his last run was to get him ready for this lady riders race. Good jockey and best horse in race on ratings. LOST
ii- ASCOT 3-00 - FLAMING SPEAR -9-1 - Owner did us proud last week and although this very competitive this horse won the hunt cup on his side, pity 4 others on other side beat him. hoping he not as unlucky again. CARDSHARP 16-1 danger from other side of draw. BOTH LOST
i- ASCOT 3.40- CRACKSMAN -5-2 - Would have been my four candle rating but been a bit mulish on two starts this year. However trainer says flying at home and if rain arrives he will run and win. If Ascot avoids rain , non runner. NON RUNNER

Bad week last week so hoping back to form this week.
iiii- 2.05 NEWMARKET - MELODIC MOTION 9-2- C/D winner and looked likely to win last time here until getting poleaxed as he was making run. Owner sponsoring Goodwood so it is a big sign he coming here instead of trying to win sponsors prizemoney. LOST Got bumped heavily after a furlong but never put into race very very disappointing
iii- 1.50 GOODWOOD - GOLDEN STEPS - 10-1 - Scottish trainer knows how to win big handicaps down south and pretty good record here. Horse has won this race before for previous trainer and has come down the weights significantly.LOST didnt get out of stalls ARGGHHH, Right to go for a Goldie horse, just got the wrong one and this one backed late on. ARGGGH. Danger - MILITIA 10-1 LOST
ii- 1.10 CHELMSFORD- AQUARIUS - 11-4 - Won a good Newmarket race very well and entered last week in a better race than this only to rear at stalls Compensation looks on. 3rd, obviously not as good as what I thought, eased when beaten and lost 2nd on post
i- 2.25 GOODWOOD - PLATITUDE -10-1- Local trainer likes having winners here and already scored this week. Won earlier this season and then just had a warm up race over further recently. Hoping this has been a plan. LOST Goldie brings three runners for first two races and I pick the one who doesnt come out of stalls as his Sir Chauvelin wins this Danger- PACIFY 9-1 LOST

OK HERE WE GO THIS WEEK, However ratings come with a health warning from Ascot, not just the horses but as Shergar Cup taking chance with some of the jockeys.
iiii- HAYDOCK 2.30 - AGROTERA 7-4- Away from the Cup this horse which was mighty impressive at Ascot should win this . LOST
iii- ASCOT 1.40 - CLEONTE- 7-2 - Taking a chance with jockey but as this long distance race and should be a strong pace which this horse loves hopefully he can keep out f trouble and win. WINNER 9-2 Danger LORD GEORGE 7-1
ii - ASCOT 1.05 - EVERGATE - 5-1 - Sprint king Cowell has won this race 3 times the only prob;em he has 3 runners in it. Hoping he has made sure weights kept right for this horse by keeping Sir Robert cheval in. Also no worries with jockey as Kirby on board. LOST
i- ASCOT 4.00 - SHAHEEN - 3-1 - Hope this horse is still on tip top form like his trainer and good jockey in Fran Berry. LOST
