Well. Good morning all, and welcome to the return of The Rascal Blog. I've had a few months off, but I am back now and hoping to be back with a bang.
14.00 York
What a tough, tough race to try to stake my claim back amongst the winners today. I think the best bet here is to find a horse to place, so e/w all the way here especially with bookies paying 4 places. As usual for these big field sprint races, we have many that can be shortlisted. I have whittled my selections down to just the one. That horse is Ponty Acclaim. This Tim Easterby filly has pretty good course form and is coming back down to a sensible mark. Trainer is in pretty good form and the horse/jockey get on well. Good e/w bet in my eyes.
Best price - 22-1 with Sporting Bet.
14.30 York
5 runners here and 4 have very good chances. My selection is Ebn Arab as this horse was extremely impressive over C&D on his debut, and he really couldn't have won any better. The 2nd and 5th in that race, although probably no world beaters, have both come out and won since to frank the form.
Best price - 11-4 with Ladbrokes.
15.05 York
My best bet of the day goes in this race. Main Sequence was incredibly unlucky in his last outing over in France where he had to check back a couple of times... before that the only horse to ever beat him was Camelot, in the Derby. He has a great chance of getting back on track today and is my NAP.
Best price - 2-1 with Victor Chandler
15.40 York
I am well and truly in the Frankel camp and will be watching him win again today. If you fancy a bet in this race though, I've gone for Sri Putra e/w in the market without Frankel.
Best price - 16-1 with Paddy Power (e/w without Frankel)
16.15 York
My selection for this 2 miler, and NB for the meeting, is Cape Express. I feel the trip was a little too long last time out, even though he still ran creditably... The 5lbs off from Darren Egan too is excellent.
Best price - 9-1 with various bookmakers.
16.50 York
I think that Hajras still has a lot more to offer in this sphere. 6lbs might not be enough of a rise to stop him.
Best price - 8-1 with Victor Chandler.
Best of luck to all today.
