Can't believe I am doing this, but I am tipping an Ann Stokell horse in the 6:40 at Chelmsford tomorrow. I watched Anjuna Beach get narrowly beaten on Sunday when it was held up at the rear, clearly struggling against the jockey ended up come from last to second, only missing first by half a length. Reckon that this one will get a penalty for that performance, so not surprised to see it out in fairly short order in this bottom grade race. 11/4 not a great price, so only having a smallish bet on this one. It's undoubtedly ready to go and fighting fit - only Ann herself can get this beat.

But she obviously will. Would want high double figures to ever ever back a mount of hers.

I'd be interested in a big drift as her drifters do win also still think bapak has plenty more wins Ryan was messing with that one for a while too, going for the pat phelan horse young Dottie and toymaker in the last at Chelmsford gl

Haven't yet taken the time to study the Dubai carnival in detail but I have had a small bet on Layl in the group 2(which reads like a handicap to be honest)

I see an old forum favourite American Hope is 4th reserve in the finale, probably won't get in this week but could see him snatching a handicap over there for sure.

Should have a proper look at next weeks hopefully.

Hunting Ground in 5:55 Meydan for me

Thurles off tomorrow. Shame, I have a horse that is absolutely dying to get a run out over heavy ground but has missed out on two runs because of abandoned meetings.

Very late to be posting but Taajub in the 2.50, long time without a win but decent place efforts last year, bottom weight, nice mark. Backed EW.

Ballista plunging in the ratings and well in for this kind of grade.

Rookie mistake, only 2 places.

Christ, that was some performance from Ertijaal at Meydan.

Pretty unlucky not to get up alright. Lost position early and then flew home in the straight. Not to worry there is usually some rich pickings at the carnival should make up for that one.

Shed be feck all good in the sack judging by that ride. Disgraceful.

Anjuna Beach is out again tonight. Same jockey as last time. Worth another try do we think?
