Timeform Dec Reviews:
The first tracker I mentioned in my last post was the Peter Chappel-Hyam trained Kassab who ran at Yarmouth on Wednesday. I said he was a no bet for me and it proved a good decision in the end. An open show of 10/1 was soon doubled and despite being up with the pace Kassab soon weakened to finish fifth. I might actually be learning as another tracker was the first timeout Hugo Palmer filly Depose who again I left alone and made the right decision again. The Kingman filly was slowly away and ran green throughout the race. I will keep her in my trackers as she could be of interest next timeout.
One tracker who I was interested in was Dark Lady for Richard Hannon who was in the same race as Depose. I mentioned in my last post that she was beaten by the potentially smart Archie Watson filly So Sharp on debut. Ryan Moore put the race to bed at the furlong pole when Dark Lady came clear to win easily. A smart filly that will run in better races this season but the 11/10 starting price made it a no bet for me.
Another short one on Thursday in the name of Above. An early morning short price meant it was a no bet for me but five minutes before the race was about to begin Above drifted to 4/5 and the mind started to think it was a good bet. In the end, I won the battle and left the short priced Above alone. Not sure what to think about the performance but to get beat by a 40/1 shot is a huge step backwards considering he is entered in two Group races next month. One positive is he did run on towards the end and time will tell if makes the starting line for them races.
I have to admit I had plenty of trackers on Friday but it's been so busy this week I haven't had time to even put them on twitter, I wasn't going to have a bet on any of them as most were newcomers but Treble Treble was a second timeout runner, so I thought I would see if this Kevin Ryan colt attracted any support. By the time I finished work and got the betting shop the best I could get was 9/2 but am not complaining after an impressive display from this Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes entry. One bet one win and that will do nicely thank you very much.

One Hart: This nice-looking Mark Johnston Gutaifan colt sets the standard here. Purchased last August for £50,000, he is now owned by the Middleham Park Racing team. One Hart has run twice so far, winning the second timeout in Hamilton Maiden last month. Interesting that they take this option instead of the Listed Stakes race at Newbury on Friday.
Qaaddim went into my notebook with an eye-catching performance at Kempton last month. This Roger Varian Hot Streak colt was purchased by Owner Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum for 200,000 gns in October 2018. Qaaddim was held up in the rear that day before making an eye catching progress in the final furlong. The winner that day was Aussie Showstopper who has since run a decent race in the Listed Dragon Stakes at Sandown. No significant entries as yet but with progress expected should be in the mix at the finish.

The Saturday Trixie week 3:
With Sam getting a winner last week it's all to play for this week.
Sam: 3:20 Market Rasen - With form figures of 22112 Gone Platinum cannot be ignored. With the burden of a career-high mark and his first run in Class 1 company Lorcan Williams claiming 5 is again trusted with the ride. This horse is a personal favourite of mine and I think he definitely has what it takes to be in the mix. 14/1 bet365(Each Way)
Craig:19:15 Doncaster 20 Jul 2019 - Qaaddim - (Write up above) 3/1 (Win Bet).
Aaron: 2:10 Market Rasen - Longhouse Sale: makes his handicap debut and boasts an impressive 8/8 coming in points, bumpers and novice hurdles, two bumpers wins being over course and distance, he has won all 3 of his hurdle races without even coming off the bridle, he carries top weight but I have a feeling he could be something special and if anyone knows how to win a handicap it’s Dan Skelton who had the winner of this in 2016. 4/1 Skybet
Good luck and thanks for reading.

Thank you very much for 10,000 Views (Plus Reviews and Previews)
When I started my blog just before the new Flat season I would have been happy with a few hundred views by this time but this week I reached 10,000 plus and I can't believe it to be honest. I would like to thank everybody who has taken the time to read and hopefully I have pointed out a few nice horses along the way. It hasn't all been plain sailing of course with some losers too but I have noted a few nice priced winners including Threat, Fred, Misty Grey and Good Vibes which have made it a season to remember for me with still a few months left.

Well Of Wisdom (Pictured) won well for the trackers last Sunday. I had a winning bet on this Charlie Appleby colt and couldn't believe the 3/1 he ended up. Well Of Wisdom looks a nice colt and ran a decent race in Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. One thing I have to admit is that I was watching Liverpool on the TV and also trying to watch the race on my chrome book and for some reason, I thought Well Of Wisdom got beat and Saqqara King won, that’s when you know you need to take a trip to Specsavers.
Fleeting Prince had been given a Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes entry after his debut run at Chepstow. He was quickly out the stalls at Windsor on Monday and made all to win easily. The price of 11/8 was decent but no bet for me.
Cool Sphere ran a decent enough race to finish second but another no bet for me.
WELL OF WISDOM 3/1 1ST
FLEETING PRINCE 11/10 1ST
Cool Sphere Evens 2nd

Kassab made a pleasing enough debut when finishing fifth in a fair event here on July 4th. This Peter Chappel-Hyam colt was an 85,000 gns purchase in April and will have to improve to trouble the market principles here. One positive is he has a Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes entry. No bet for me
14:40 Lingfield 17 Jul 2019:
Dark Lady made a pleasing debut when second to the very well-thought of Archie Watson filly So Sharp. This Richard Hannon Dark Angel filly looked a future winner going into many notebooks that day. Short at the time of writing so not sure what to do yet.
14:40 Lingfield 17 Jul 2019:
Depose. Kingman filly for Hugo Palmer, a bit of a worry hood first time. No bet for me.
15:00 Chepstow 18 Jul 2019:
Above. I imagine is one of Archie Watsons best 2-year-olds and to give away so much weight will have to be on top of his game. A 150,000 euro purchase for owners Qatar Racing Limited, Above has been given a few decent entries and hopefully, he can confirm his promise on Thursday. I imagine he won't be much of a price so another I might just watch instead of betting on.
15:00 Chepstow 18 Jul 2019:
Above won't have it all his own way because my second tracker in this race Swinley Forest has run two decent efforts himself. Thanks for reading and good luck.
