Some nice animals at HQ over the weekend. Light up My Life was probably just the pick for the Oh So Sharp. Queally gave Stipulate another duff ride coming far too soon again. Earlier in the season Henry Cecil said this horse had lots of speed and needed to be ridden as such. Certify floated and is the best juvenile mover this term. It was a weak heat. Seek Again is probably the nicest Speightstown I have seen. He will come on 10lb for the run and is Group Class. Dare To Achieve and Vital Evidence are good sorts and should be noted. Harris Tweed looked his bet yet and won at the weights. The Godolphin pair - Retrieve and Songcraft were on good terms. Sea of Heartbreak finally ran at 12f but against colts. She went far too soon and got burnt off. Duff placing and a duff ride.

On the Saturday Steeler upheld the juvenile form in the Royal Lodge. Artigiano has done really well. I said to someone at Newbury that Rhosdu Queen reminded me of Superstar Leo who I wrote an essay on for Sports Adviser. I backed her at York and she was the pick again here. She looks a sprinter and would be no good for the 1,000 Guineas. Siyouma, Elusive Kate and Laugh Out Loud were the paddock order for the Sun Chariot and they finished accordingly. Beauty Parlour looked a mess and was poor in her coat as well as carrying a few lbs on her belly. Lord knows where the money came from to make her fav. Mukhadram was in superb nick for the Cambridgeshire but the 11lb rise for finishing third in the Group3 Tercentenary Stakes at Royal Ascot, killed any chance of winning this. Bronze Angel went up only 4lb for a third in the Britannia Hcap. 6lb for 23/4 lengths was the difference.
