    3.35 Windsor

    Kings N' Dreams 50/1

    This is very much a risky bet but I think Dean Ivory's charge is worth a small play at the odds if his trainer has gotten him right after a 95 day absence from the track. Although not at his best this year, he's on a good mark and has put up some encouraging efforts including at the track and on this ground and I definitely feel he is capable off his current mark of 64 (65 today as 1lb out of handicap). Last year he scored in two consecutive starts in the summer off marks of 64 and 69 (good ground) and had some other good starts littered throughout the year. This year he hasn't been at his best but his handicap mark has slid as a result from an opening of 72 back down to his current mark. He did however run a very eye catching fast finishing 4th on soft ground back in May off a mark of 70 when he took an age to get going but he powered on extremely well to finish beaten 2.75L in what looks a very strong piece of form. The winner Highland Colori has won 3 times since and finished beaten by a short head in the Ayr Silver Gold Cup and is now 20lb higher rated. The 2nd Midnight Rider has won off a 5lb higher mark than that day and is now 10lb higher rated and the 5th Picabo has not run a bad race since, winning twice and is 18lb higher than this race. On the basis of this effort, where Kings N' Dreams was finishing better than anything, it certainly showed me he still retained his ability and he liked both testing conditions and the unique Windsor track. He's been moderate since then but if the break has rejuvenated him then I think he could run a good race off bottom weight under William Carson.

    Good luck. Was going to back Parisian Pyramid but the price wasn't great.

    Went for Apollo D'Negro in the one after,and Popmurphy in the maiden hurdle at Roscommon.

    Your horse can be backed at 150 on BF

    What a day for Richard Hughes! His own magnificent 7! Unbelievable performance and fair play to Ryan Moore for giving him the ride in the last race i'm sure the agent will be getting a nice little bonus for that

    Tremendous achievement from someone who comes across as a really good guy on the TV. Ryan Moore's stepping down for Hughesie great sportsmanship
