Very curious ride on Frankel. I don't know why he kicked when he did. I know he did it in the Royal Lodge but he was running against much inferior opponents that day. If he'd have held onto him a bit longer and tried to get a lead into the straight he would have won going away.

There are rumours doing the rounds that Cecil hasn't been best pleased with Queally recently. He had a face like thunder after the Coronation Cup at Epsom. Queally has always been a spikey enough character. He had a big falling out with Pat Flynn about ten years ago if I remember correctly.

I would fancy Canford Cliffs to beat Frankel if they met on quick ground. However, I probably won't have a bet if they meet at Goodwood. Goodwood is a slightly peculiar track and front runners can often get away and not be pegged back down the straight there. It would probably suit Frankel's style of running more than Ascot which has a stiffish uphill finish.

Tomorrow is simple. Have every cent in your account on Frankel. 1/3 is Christmas coming early. Avoid the other races. Canford Cliffs v Goldikova is simply too tough to call while both the Coventry and the Kings Stand are minefields. Too much is dependent on the draw in both those races.

Wednesday looks to have more punting opportunities overall. I'll be backing Fury e/w in the Jersey and Lolly For Dolly e/w in the Windsor Forest.

Keep an eye out for Bolger's 2yos in the other races. He looks to have a decent enough crop so far this season Also Await The Dawn should bolt up in the Hardwicke on Saturday. Only one firm betting on it at the moment but 11/10 looks reasonable.

Bolger's got a 2 year old filly going tomorrow in the 5 o'clock caled Somasach and is a tasty looking 14/1,just watched the replay of her 1 race and she didn't set the world alight but looked to have a good attitude to hold on,do you know anything about her Dh?

I don't have access to the RP at the moment but I think that's the Johannesburg filly that Bolger bred himself? If so, he's probably trying to nick a bit of black type with her. She won from a desperate draw down at Limerick Junction so I'd still keep an eye on Betfair all the same. Meehan's filly that beat the horse that won the last today sets a high standard.

I was more thinking of Teolane when I posted that comment. Really taken with the way she won at Naas last week.

Some run by Rewilding, I thought So You Think would have destroyed the field after the turn, showed a devestating turn of foot and looked like he was eating up the ground, but there was nothing left in the last furlong. That was some run, I think they just said Rewilding broke the track record.
