Joss’s Jewels Result – Saturday 10th August – It Was One Hell Of A Run For Ananya In The Circumstances

NAP – Ananya 3:45 Newmarket (14/1 advised) 7/1 5th Undoubtedly Ananya was unlucky when finishing 5th in the Sweet Solera Stakes. She was well backed and started half the price of the odds advised on Thursday so there was some market confidence around for her. Unfortunately Ananya missed the break by approximately 10 lengths according to racing post comments, for her to beat just over 3 lengths in the end. There is no doubt she should of finished closer if breaking on terms, and there is evidence to suggest she might as well have won. In the circumstances she has produced one hell of a run for an inexperienced filly and stepping up to a mile looks sure to suit going forward. Another thing to take out of the race is that its a first stakes winner for rookie sire Golden Horn. His daughter West End Girl won the race for the Mark Johnston team and coincidently is a form boost for one of our fillies Lola Paige, whom she beat at Haydock on her debut.

Gallaside Follows Up His Newcastle Win At Nottingham

Gallaside follows up his Newcastle novice win at Nottingham on Nursery debut. Running off an opening mark of 77 proved lenient as he dictated the race from start to finish under a well judged front running ride from Hollie Doyle. The step up to the mile for the first time seemed to help Gallaside who looks sure to need further than that in time. The plan going forward is to let Gallaside progress naturally as whatever he is doing at this stage is a bonus. Archie Watson has done a fantastic job at placing him thus far.

Gallaside Declared For Nottingham Tuesday 6:00

We have Gallaside declared for the myracing.com Free Tips Every Day Nursery Handicap at Nottingham on Tuesday evening for Archie Watson. It will be first try at a mile and on what we have seen so far of him, he should relish the step up in distance. It will be his nursery debut and hopefully the forecast cut in the ground will play to his strengths. Ga;llaside's mark of 77 seems workable and we are very hopeful he can follow up and progress from his novice win at Newcastle. He will be carrying top weight of 9st 10lb as a result but he is a big horse of which carrying a big weight should not be in issue for him. Hollie Doyle rides and it will be exciting to learn a bit more about him going forward.

Joss’s Jewels Result – Goodwood Day 2 – 40/1 Place For I Can Fly Proved Good Value

NB (Next Best) – I Can Fly 3:35 Goodwood (40/1 Advised) 14/1 3rd I Can Fly put up a strong performance to get up for 3rd in the Qatar Sussex Stakes. Advised at 40/1 the night before, she went off just 14/1 for this race which proved to be great value for followers who took the earlier price. Held up by Donnacha O'Brien she put up a gutsy run to finish just behind high class three year olds Too Darn Hot and stablemate Circus Maximus. She remains slightly frustrating at the highest level, but she always runs her race and it would be no surprise if she put up another performance like this in a Group 1 before the season is out.

Joss’s Jewel’s Result – Goodwood Day 1 – Winning 13/2 Next Best Gave Us Something To Dance About

NB (Next Best) – Sir Dancealot 3:00 Goodwood (13/2 Advised) 6/1 David Elsworth's Sir Dancealot gave us something to shout about when landing the Next Best in the Qatar Lennox Stakes this afternoon. It was a second Lennox Stakes for these connections as Gerald Mosse held up Sir Dancealot off a strong pace set by Donjuan Triumphant and closed menacingly to take up the running at the furlong pole to win going away. Hey Gaman filled the placings under Frankie Dettori who could not go with the winner in the closing stages and few others really got into the race with Suedois finishing 3rd. Advised at 13/2 the day before, Sir Dancealot went off at a still fairly generous 6/1 to get followers back on the winning thread.
