Agree about
Samuel looks the bet of the day to me at around 8/1!
Was travelling like a dream last time after a long lay off and just ran out of gas close home. A look at the horses profile suggests it runs better and improves for a run so should improve quite a bit from last time. Jockey bookings may suggest King Of Wands is first choice with Buick up, but Eddie Ahern has ridden Samuel nearly every run it's had when it was with John Dunlop so that's fine with me.
I like
Temple Meads in the Gimcrack but not happy with Jimmy Fortune taking over from Richie Mullen! Won nicely twice though and looks like it will relish the extra furlong and connections rate this very highly after hearing them speak after it won at Newbury.
In a wide open Ebor I've plumped for an e/w bet on
Demolition you can never rule out Richard Fahey at York and just sneaking in at the bottom comes here after a couple of fine placed efforts on what could have been livelier ground than it likes? May prefer an easier surface and can see it turning the tables on Dangerous Midge with ground difference and a big difference in weight, could easily make a good case for well over half of the field but will go with this one!
