Our comment on todays selections: Newmarket 1.50 Tassel. Although Richard Hannons youngsters have not had the brightest of starts we had heard good reports about our selections homework, and although there looked to be a couple of promising types in the race non of the calibre of Highcleres youngster, it did go on to win quitre cosily in the end but did run green and Ryan Moores experience came into play in the closing stages. Won 6/5
Newmarket 4.45 Twice Over. Our selection had race conditions very much in its favour a group one winner without a penalty for that win. As far as we were concerned this looked a penalty kick, but Henry Cecil had stated the horse was maybe just short of peak fitness, which tempered out enthusiasm slightly although we did still exoect it to win. Just touched off on the line and well clear of the field, race fitness did tell in the end. 2nd 6/5
