@CaiseyPaul Hurricane Pat and Old Park Star looks really good now.

Also horse named after Dunstons dads best mate?

Surely odds against is an unbelievable price?

Tony Carroll doing his best Coolmore Mafia impression in the classified stakes @ Brighton there hahaha

Shades of Diamond Necklace in the Prix de Diane

Darragh Keenan butchering a big gamble thereon Hakin Adraar @ Brighton.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

Gelding and cheekpieces indicate intent to win too I think.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

HANDANI 17.25 @ Leopardstown 5/2

Bit of a speculative one, but I think the fav can be taken on here.

Both have similar form in the book, and Weld takes his time with his 2yr olds and has a good SR with horses after a break.

Think 5/2 is a bit of value against the fav.

Looks like everyone's got INFO on FLIGHT TRACKER. 🛩️✈️

@joehorsesmoney Drift a concern?

Absolute carnage of race, Northern Empire with a fairly awful trip bumped around 2f out, but gets up for 3rd. 🥉💵

Still a good horse in there somewhere.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

NORTHERN EMPIRE 15.30 @ Brighton 8/1 EW.

The handicap Vs novice form for this horse makes absolutely no sense.

He ran some excellent races in novices, he won't at Lingfield with the 4 horses behind all being rated ~85, then 3L behind Guildmaster (99)

He then seemed to

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

another 3lbs meaning he races off a mark of 73 here down from an original make of 82 which was probably fair given the novice form.

Walker stable is in good form.

Hopefully can run well and show his old form.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

leave that form completely behind in handicaps, albeit there were excuses each time

Never travelling @ Newcastle
Too Free @ Ascot
Raced too wide @ Kempton

Probs another tricky customer who has since been gelded and it was a decent return @ Epsom

Ashley Lewis now takes off

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

@LeicesterNAP Anyone getting it early?👀

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

@DefiDuSeuil Haha he may well be useless I don't fully disagree, but as you say I don't think that horse losing was specifically down to his jockeyship.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

Loads of pocket talk there LANGDALE LASS, never travelling there and got bumped about early, not much Mitchell could've done tbh.

Does my head in when an odds on shot gets beat and idiots start blaming the jock.

I was waiting on it for 100 quid treble.

That's the game.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

@jockeyerror Yes mate I'll hunt down everyone who criticised the ride and fight them all. 100%

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

PIAZZA goes down half a length at 12/1 ✅🥈

She's still learning on the job and was running around a bit.

Another who'll be winning soon, but probs not a get a price now.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

Go on I'll give this one a second chance too.

10/1 EW

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

10/1 EW

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

PIAZZA - 20:40 @ Epsom 5/1

She had a tendency to over race as a 2yr old, but was a lot better on reappearance @ Kempton LTO, not getting the gaps and running well late on.

Has come down from an original mark of 71 to 65 and drops into a C6 here.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

GRAND VISTA runs well for a place at 14/1. ✅💰

Hopefully mark remains the same, think the cheekpieces helped today.

They'll find a race for him soon.

[Jai Benson @JAIBENSON2]

Since I've a bit of spare coin from ICONIC TIMES I'll give this boy one more go today and forgive the last run.

10/1 in the next @ Ffos Las

GRAND VISTA 19.30 @ Wolves - 3/1

Doesn't take a genius to see it was a pretty obvious eye catcher @ Chepstow LTO.

Some nice novice form particular on debut @ Newbury, proper rider onboard today.

Hopefully can go well if breaking properly.
