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.

NAP – So Sharp 1:50 Ascot 12/1 My Nap this weekend comes in the first race at Ascot on Saturday in So Sharp. Archie Watson's daughter of Bated Breath put up a very professional performance to win first time up at Newbury 23 days ago beating the re opposing Dark Lady by 1 length, who has since gone on and won next start at Lingfield very readily. So Sharp was bit green once under pressure but responded well and the first and second were well clear of the rest. She is from a family the trainer knows well, being a half sister to the stables smart two year old Nate The Great and she looks as though she could be every inch as good as him, even at this stage of her career. She needs to improve to trouble Godolphins smart filly Summer Romance, an expensive breeze up purchase who has looked a group winner in waiting in her two starts to date. She is as short at 10/11 to win on Saturday, but a chance is worth taking on So Sharp at a much juicier 12/1. I feel she is a strong each way selection if showing any natural improvement from her first run. Hollie Doyle retains the ride and hopefully a first group race success for her is on the cards.

NAP – Fleeting 5:10 Curragh (7/1 Advised) 9/2 2nd Fleeting was just touched off in the Kerrygold Irish Oaks on Saturday by John Gosden's Star Catcher and Frankie Dettori. Star Catcher was given a Dettori Masterclass off the front with Fleeting closing all the way to the line to be beaten a 1/2 length. There was not many excuses for Fleeting this time and as she came to win the race, you always felt Star Catcher was going to pull out more. The Ribblesdale form from Royal Ascot came to the fore and if the two were to meet again, it would make for an interesting rematch. At least followers had a run for their each way money with Fleeting being advised at 7/1 on Friday and was quite well supported being backed into 9/2 2nd favourite at the off. Fleeting strikes me as a horse that could run well in an Arc getting a fillies and 3 year old allowance. She enjoys coming off a strong pace and providing the ground is not too soft come October (which it often can be), 40/1 at the moment is juicy enough price.
