Diary: September 5 2007

Not a bad week so far with 3 wins and a second from the 4 runners featured.

 

I expected great things from Roger Charlton’s Proponent after he impressed last season winning both his starts.  He is yet to win this term but may have needed the run when down the field last time at Goodwood and may well do better tomorrow in the 3.05 at York.

 

Royal Oath and Halicarnassus represent our list to follow in the 3.35.  Royal Oath won the Hunt Cup at Ascot and has since finished runner up to Cesare in a Group 2 at the same track.  Halicarnassus has won twice this season making use of a telling burst of speed off a muddling pace.  I wouldn’t rule either out.

 

The lightly raced Tebee has run well on her last two starts on turf and looks the one to beat in the 8.50 at Kempton.

 

In the 3.15 at Lingfield I fancy Paul Cole’s Harlech Castle who is a half brother to several winners.

 

Vanquisher remains a maiden after 9 races.  He has the best form on show in the 4.20 but could be vulnerable to a less exposed sort.
