We're back

Wooohoooo.

Some card to come back with too. Musalsal seriously fancied to run a big race in the 4.00.

Riogha interesting in the 4.30.

Am excited to see how good sceptical is in the 5.35, a seriously hot listed race. Surprised to see chessman at 3 times the price of sergei. Sergei beat him by a head first time out last year and chessman is 7 pounds better off tomorrow... that said i wouldn't be too confident he'll beat this field but think he's an each way play at 16s.

I am not welcome to their custom but if anyone has a William Hill account then Sunset Nova in the 4.00 should be closer to 10/1 than the 18/1. I have had a bet at 16s and generally 14/1 everywhere. You can make plenty of excuses for his last few runs. The mark of 69 is very very fair and I think this race will set up ideally. Big field handicap strong pace. Smash up job. Haha

Peintre Celebre

Sunset nova 16/1 for me too.

Gavin "shels"

All aboard the Sunset Nova bandwagon!

Tony Keenan attheraces tipped up one of my other fancies. But like Woody Creek in the sprint. 12/1 still available. Not much to be said. The fav could be anything and I don't really like many of the others. No Needs Never was of slight interest but I will pass him over in favor of Fozzy Stacks sprinter.

BoldReason

Last bet then I put into the guineas thread but I like Celtic Beauty who was second in the Albany at Royal Ascot last year. She did win her maiden at the track and performed with credit in another couple of group races throughout last year. The drop to 5.5f will be ideal and she needs them to go hard. There is some 25+ on betfair for her.

Maybe i'm missing something. Chessman beaten by woody creek by half a length the only time they met last year, has a 7 pound swing at the weights from that day too.... That said, judging by that race, it's going to be hard to catch anything that races up with the pace which will not be chessman!

I might go for Baton Rouge in the next. Bred to be a superstar and Paddy Beggy isnt afraid to win on a big price horse. Worth a nibble at 25/1

supremenovice

Well this is going well! Think Ill jump on the Nova train now, my fear is that my current tragic form will derail it for everyone :rolleyes:

Chessman not really one I've ever taken to tbh. Woody Creek suffered significant interference from Chessman that day and would probably have went close to winning the race if she didn't get boxed in at the business end.

When I backed Woody Creek earlier they were more or less the same price. I wouldn't back Woody Creek at current prices. To short now.

Fozzys are usually very forward this time of year was another contributing factor to my bet.

Best of luck with Chessman

BoldReason

Sunset Nova ran well there in fairness. Will definitely be up to winning a similar race off that mark in the near future I think.

BoldReason

Celtic Beauty got absolutely no run whatsoever. Would have certainly been in the 3 with a clear run there imo.

Banner fights back

I'm no fan of Denis Hogan but he may well have a "Hollywood horse" with Skeptical. Ireland's best sprinter atm.

BoldReason

Hard not to be taken by that. Not sure anyone is a fan of Denis Hogan tbh. He is a crook

Banner fights back

What a day for Shane Foley and trainer Jessica Harrington in Naas today. 4 winners for Foley. 3 for Harrington who is now all gung ho on the level now for this outstanding dual purpose trainer.

Foley looking good already for the Irish flat jockeys championship title come November.

That's wouldnt be Much of an endorsement.

Skeptical won't get within a furlong of Battash
Battash is different league lads, Ascot won't stop him this year!

aye the same lad stuffed by blue point and beaten a rip of times by others good man you know your stuff

BoldReason

Apparently coming 2nd to superstars in group 1s is inferior to winning listed races around Naas. Who knew.

Skeptical could well be up to it but at this very moment he has a chunk to find with Battash. His price is scandalous also. You'd want to be checking yourself in backing him at 5/1 a week or so after that race today

ASOT

Frankie riding Sceptical in the King's Stand.

Hope he bolts up.

irish_major

He'll win. He's a freak. The 6 year old battaash that can't win at ascot won't see what way this airplane goes.

BoldReason

Looks like they are after bottling taking on Battash in favour of the softer race. Probably a wise decision to get some extra days in between then and race last week.
