Morning All!
It’s Gold cup day in Ayr and I’ll be on a flight winging it’s way north in the very near future! But while I’m sitting here in an airport Starbucks pouring over choices for the Ayr races, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m going to the wrong meeting today!
Today’s NAP is for a horse that gave me one of my biggest wins of the year (Royal Ascot) Radiohead in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes 2.20 at Newbury
Did well to recover from serious interference to win at Royal Ascot and, while events have shown that to be a substandard renewal of the Norfolk, he underlined his merit with a fine third against older rivals in the Nunthorpe, just missing the break and doing easily best of those ridden from behind; 6f should not be a problem and the one to beat.
The other one to watch is Awzaan – but I’d always pick Jamie Spencer over Richard Hills
My selection for the near impossible to pick William Hill (Ayr) Gold Cup (Heritage Handicap) 3.10 is Genki. Knot In Wood and Advanced are as solid as they come at this level but there is always scope for an improver in races like this. While Redford looked the better horse of the two when he and GENKI met at Ascot in July, the latter was only just starting to turn the corner at the time. He went on to win the Stewards' Cup and there are strong grounds for hoping that we'll see further improvement from him here as well. Redford is interesting tried again at this trip and he may be best of the others, though Brave Prospector is also respected.
