I thought SHIPYARD was a shade unlucky last night as he was slow out of the stalls and then
saw all of the pace develop on the nearside rail, furthest away from him, and contrary to the
way sprint races had developed at the track just 24 hours earlier. The fact that he was the only
horse who came out of the pack, just missing a place with a powerful finish, was testimony to
his form and granted a luckier scenario, he looks a winner waiting to happen and we will hope

to be there and on him when he does.

There is racing today at Bath; Carlisle; Lingfield (turf) and Gowran Park on the Flat and at
Newton Abbot and Southwell over the jumps, and you don't need to be Alfred Einstein to
fathom out, that the overall quality is mediocre and most field sizes are smaller than we'd like.
There are a few races that I strongly considered as "single race opportunities" but both are
stacked with average horses who win in turn and with no obvious stand out ones in terms
of form or handicap marks. I will point out one horse to you today, Richard Whitaker has turned
the corner, and "big style" in the past 72 hours, he runs one tonight at Carlisle in the 7.50
called Sebastians Wish, it has a bit to find but when a yard fires like this, always interesting to
keep a very close eye on them, and from tomorrow we will be tracking such trends in the

Members Area - much more of that and a few other new Features in the morning.

I won't say any more about August, said enough, time to start walking rather than talking
so we will finish the month with a small Unit Lucky 31 - 10p each way costs a total of
£6.20 and if they all obliged at early odds - you would be banking around £7k and
whilst that is a dream scenario, all have form claims at decent prices to make them 

very interesting in their own ways.
