"I am taking Forgivethesmalltalk to back up recent good run at Exeter and to get the better of the favourite Comely who

has yet to encounter "dead ground". I think the value may be in This Is It; upped to Class2 last time and running OK; it is back in

We also looked at The Tommy Whittle at Haydock at 2.45 but unless you really go a long way back in form for a horse like No Planning;

the really obvious one and most likely winner is THREE FACES WEST and that may be worth a bit of loose change. At Ascot the big

Long Distance Hurdle looks likely to be settled by two great warriors at the head of the market Unowwhatimeanharry and Lil Rockerfella;

I do wonder though if the former is a degree under last season's form OR more likely being aimed at Cheltenham more this season;

and the same "target" may be the logical route for LR; 2 great horses but there may be a bit of value in TARQUIN DU SEUIL who usually

needs seasonal debut, and who on a strict interpretation of best form on this Going at this trip, is not a 25/1 shot - loose change at the ready.
