I reckon Ouqba has good e/w prospects in the 1st @ 11/1.. Got a free bet with 365 for backin him so keep them tips coming plz

I know very little about horses, but the commentator stated before they lined up that Ouqba was that calmest looking horse out there.
So that convinced me to put £2 EW on him.

That's me free the rest of the day....

I think Tartan Bearer might get done for speed over 10f. I like the look of both the French horses in that race with probably a slight preference for Never On Sunday.

The two best bets of the week are running tomorrow. Leocorno in the Ribblesdale and Freemantle in the Hampton Court. Leocorno is a half sister to Golan and Tartan Bearer and she was thought to be an Oaks horse earlier on in the year before she had a slight setback which put her back a few weeks in her work. She bolted up in a mediocre handicap at Sandown on her reappearance and she'll be open to plenty of improvement stepping up 3f in trip.

Freemantle was just touched off when attempting to make all in the Dante. That was his seasonal reappearance and Aidan's have been coming on a tonne for their first run. He didn't run at Epsom to keep him fresh for this.

I'll be backing them in singles and a double. Can't imagine they'll be generous prices though.

The Group 1 penalty did for her.

Strange decision by Bolger to send her there anyway. I've always thought she was better over 10f rather than a mile. The Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday week would have been perfect for her.

I backed Ryan Moore for top jockey at Ascot. has he any chance? I know he hasnt got off the mark yet. Who is leading?

Tartan Bearer beat there too, split the two french horses. Vision Detat wins at 4/1
