Poor fare due to Prince Philips Funeral but i'll give it a go
iiii- THIRSK 11.40 - REBEL AT DAWN - 5-1 - Stumbled at start on reappearance after gelding but still finished 3rd, hope he doesnt fluff his lines today. LOST battled on but never going to win
iii- BANGOR ON DEE -2.25 - HE'S A KNOWALL - 6-1- My wife reckons this named after me and already backed from 10-1 , won his previous bumper by 15 lengths and immediately bought by this stable who are going well. NON RUNNER
ii- NOTTINGHAM 6.45 - CARBON POSITIVE - 15/2 - Like Robert Cowell in sprints and also first time in a handicap . He has already had a winner this turf season and this one been gelded after last run. 4th never going to win
i- THIRSK 12.40 - LUCKY BEGGAR - 8-1- Won this race in 2019 and now down to a career low mark. 4th, ran well just lost out on 3rd late on
Todays ratings and surprised myself that I have left Sandown with strong form linesand gone for Flat where form needs to be worked out with change of surface. Oh well here goes
iiii- LEICESTER 1.35- PHUKEY POWER - 11/2- Lots of the Leicester City owners horses running here and think this might surprise. Tom Dascombe already had winners and this horse needs to be ridden from the front and no better man than DE Sousa for this. 3lb below last winning mark and form of his last race worked out well. LAST oh dear oh dear raced well up for 3 furlongs and then capitulated
iii - WOLVERHAMPTON 6.45- POPE GREGORY - 4-1- No prob with following recent form here as on AW and this horse going for a treble and improving type. LOST
ii- DONCASTER 7.30- ANGEL OF THE GLEN -4-1- Finished 2nd last time and should take a step forward. 2nd never going to win
I- LEICESTER 12.30- TANQEEB - 13/2- This is more about form of trainer as he is banging in winners in all codes at mo. Back to his correct distance and with Kingscote up. 3rd tried to come late but winner had gone

Couldnt stop the rot last week and these really do come wth a health warning as dont really fancy much and some old favourites put in for old times sake.
iiii - NEWMARKET 3.15- JUMBY - 11/4- Been take out of other races because of the ground which makes me think they want this run to be in perfect synchronisatio with his skills. WINNER battled up the hill well , at last and got the 3rd E/W RIVER AT DAWN 40-1
iii - NEWBURY 3-00 - GREYSTOKE - 14/1 - Channon has shown he is coming into form and this horse looks like it has been underated by handicapper and betting. Might not win but shouldnt be that price. LOST led most of way but not upto the class of most of these.
ii- THIRSK 1.35- DUKE OF FIRENZE - 10-1 - My old favourite and old is the operative word nowadays, however can still perform when he wants and that is usually with Graham Lee aboard nowadays. NON RUNNER

Too many top meetings today and some very tight races so going to be difficult and heavy ground horses needed
iiii - YORK 3.50 - PENDLETON 11/2 - Went very close after very long lay off over 6f at Ascot getting caught close home. Very well handicapped off old form and has shown he has come back well from that layoff. WINNER looked in danger but won cosily and still ahead of handicapper. DANGER COUNT DORSAY 15/2 LOST
III- HAYDOCK 1.55 - MOLLS MEMORY 9/2- Loves soft ground and bcak to her last winning mark ad shaped nicely on last run. WINNER came from miles back and took a bump but still won nicely.
ii- CHESTER 2.25 - GREEN BOOK - 7/2 - Made mincemeat of his rivals at Chester and hopefully still ahead of handicapper for stable who has host of soft ground horses. LOST couldnt take weight rise in that ground
