Always had a soft spot for Olympic Glory so I'll be backing him to beat Kingman in Deauville provided he runs.

I see Noel Fehily teams up with his brother Eamonn in the first at Southwell with Moss Grove which is coming over from Cork. Horse doesn't look particularly well handicapped, so unless it's schooling very well at home I can't see it winning. McCoy runner on the other hand does look very well handicapped and represents the biggest threat of the race with justified favoritism. One I do fancy though is Inandover at a big price of 10/1 (Boils). Has course and distance form and is carrying very little weight. Big question here is whether the horse itself has lost confidence after a few spills. Think it'll either go very well or some stone last, so not going to bother going e/w with this one.

It's no price, but the bet of the day has to be My Betty in the 4:35 at Southwell. Absolutely hacked up at Southwell last time out - this time it's stepped up a little (which is the only concern) but the sharp flat track should allow it to dictate the pace of the race again. Hopefully the previous run out will give it that bit more experience too. 11/10 is no price but I really think this horse is about a stone better than everything else here.

Mostly Harmless

Really like Marsh Daisy in the fillies Group 3 in Deauville. I think she's potentially top class granted cut in the ground, owners were originally talking about an autumn campaign after she hacked up at Goodwood two starts back, probably a bad move to have gone for the Oaks in hindsight as she did not get her ground and was probably not suited by the course anyway. Should be up to going very close provided she is fit and ready after a small break.
