[Real ale Madrid]

Sizing Europe the key today - it looks a weak enough race so here's hoping he wins it. Not a betting race I think.

1.30 Soll
2.05 Batonnier - edit Non-runner.
2.40 First Lieutenant
4.00 Carlito Brigante / Silverhand
4.40 Georgeous Sixty

I've had an ante post bet on First Lientenant e/w - I think Mouse Morris will have him spot on for today, and he beat Rock on Ruby in the Neptune last year and that form is not looking too bad this morning! - Grand Crus will be tough to beat though, pity he didn't go for the Gold cup instead!

1.30 sir des champs - surely!
2.05 thehillofuisneach – cracking ride for barry
2.40 riverside theatre – as above!
3.20 oscar whiskey – as above!!
4.00 niceonefrankie
4.40 midnight appeal

[Real ale Madrid]

1.30 For non stop
2.05 Catch Me
3.20 Thousand Stars

4.40 Sunnyhillboy

[Real ale Madrid]

Not going to be near a PC tomorrow so here are my tips FWIW:

2.05 Citzenship
5.15 Toubab

Going to have a sentimental fiver on Kauto Star to win his 3rd Gold cup - of all the stories this week - everything, and I mean everything, is playing second fiddle to this. Its the big one and can't wait. Not sure with the Henderson stable in such good form that he can do it, but you never know - and it would bring the house down.

Overall still doing ok, in that I have money to gamble on the last day! 5 winners so far, need a few today.

1.30: Balder Succes (open race)
2.05: Ubi Ace
2.40: Boston Bob (stand out horse with Ruby on board)
3.20: Long Run (had him last year so stick with him)
4.00: Rowdy Rampage
4.40: Molotof (what odds on a Nicky Henderson 1-2-3,lol)
5.15: eradicate (another race with a lot of Hendo horse, but Bass here is a very underrated jockey)
5.40:in Pub to drink my winnings
