14:15---This looks a three horse race--Hi Calypso,Folk Opera and Samira Gold.I am going to discount Samira Gold as I think the trip of 1m6f is too far for her.It looks as though her optimum distance is 10f.The distance is very much in Hi Calypso's favour but I think Folk Opera, provided she is not inconvenienced by the extra 2f, will have too much speed.Folk Opera to win currently at 9-4.

14:50---Dandy Man has become an excuse merchant and may not be as good as he was.Even at his best there are question marks as he has only ever won one Group race--A Group 3 over two years ago.I am therefore ruling him out.Next two in the betting are Masta Plasta who is possibly drawn too high and Befortyfour who has a lot to prove coming out of handicaps.The one that interests me is Desert Lord who will love the ground if it remains fast.He is a speedy type who may now be coming towards his yearly peak after four races.I wouldn't be surprised to see Fat Boy running a decent race.Desert Lord each way currently 11-1.

15:30---Only one likely result here and that's Yeats to win comfortably.Honolulu is unpredictable to say the least and probably won't be suited by this unique course so for me an interesting one at a big price is Regal Flush.He will be suited by the return to 2m having run in the Ascot Gold Cup.He only finished a head behind Honolulu in last year's St Leger yet is four times the price.Yeats to win currently 4-6.Could be tempted by Regal Flush each way currently 16-1.
