    Having watched all the trials again tonight I'm tempted to switch from Telecaster to Bangkok and make him my main bet in the process.
    Interesting... definitely don't have a strong opinion on it but Telecaster definitely improved for the run... so to take the form too literally wouldn't be gospel and Technician whom he beat fairly easily was then walloped by Sir Dragonet so it's hard to get too excited?

      Perhaps I'm just over thinking it and Telecaster does look like a different animal since Donny. If there are extra places on offer on Saturday I'll end up backing them both .

        I think Bangkok is an excellent place only bet. I don't think 9/1 is a good win bet.... but I've been wrong once or twice before

            Backed Mehdaayih for the Oaks at 9/2 blindly following a Hugh Taylor antepost 2 pointer, how I like to roll during the flat season. Laid half my stake off at just over 5/2 which looks a good decision now as she's drifting after it was confirmed Frankie's not on board. Fingers crossed for a decent run

                      Hope so mate. On at 12s. Really really fancy her.

                      Off to the oaks for the fourth year running. Much more pleasant than derby day in my opinion.

                        I'm anticipating Donnacha gets put on the impressive Chester winner Sir Dragonet and Ryan will be on.

                        Not a sexy one but just really solid.



                        Also added Madhmoon 25/1 before the guineas
                        Well done Kev.

                        Thanks very much

                            Forgot how much I suck at the flat.

                            Might as well preemptively give my Ascot bank to charity
