5:30 Limerick - Irish Bulletin 5/1 A few nice stats to like here. He loves Limerick, his stats are 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, although thats over hurdles and he is 1/1 at 3 miles over hurdles. He has run once at 3miles over fences, and he won. He is 7lb higher in the handicap now, but his jockey (who is in form) claims the valubale 7lb off his back, which puts him spot on for this race. He is rated much higher over Hurdles in fact nearly 20lb higher, so if he runs anything to his best, he has beig claims. Its a big field though and lots of runners to trap him and cause issues, so i would recomend ew to be safe. Bet365 are paying 4 places at quarter odds. If he can run up to his Fairyhouse win over fences at 3 miles, then this boy will be hard to beat. He won so easily that day. Ps i do like Line View in the 3:10 Limerick 15/2 - he has some good stats, and likes Limerick, but just not strong enough for me, and he is 11 now, and will be vulnerable to younger horses. However he is a ni

1st Temple Church 11/2 - 80 2nd Highland Colori 11/1 - 60 2nd Secret Art 20/1 - 60 2nd Examiner 12/1 - 60 3rd Zwayyan 4/1 - 50 As you can see there is little seperating these. But Temple Church managed to get a clear lead, and i am happy to go with him. He won on soft at Newbury so we know he will not mind the ground. He has only every raced 4 times so there is improvement in him. He is dropping back in trip and he did run well over further, his trainer is in form and sent 1 horse here on the 14th and won. Highland Colori is 1lb lower than his last win and likes Newmarket, the going is no issue and he could go well. Manchego didnt score well but i do know he was regard very highly, and his breeding suggest he will like this going, he could be the one to beat if refinding his form after a very poor run and running up to expectations. I actually backed him last night. My Selection: Temple Church 11/2 (Manchego 16/1 ew)

1st Lough Kent 7/2 - 85 2nd Baby Jake 3/1 - 40 3rd Fiosrach 13/2 - 30 Lough Kent does love Cartmel, he has run there on the last 2 occasions and won, but today is softer, he is up 6lb and although an ease in grade, he faces Baby Jake who comes over to have a crack, and he also has claims. He won this last year, and although softer and 6lb higher, he comes here in good form. Ravens Hill comes from the in form Skelton yard, and has obviosu claims, i just worry this track is too testing for him, but he will be the horse to beat My Selection: Lough Kent 7/2

1st Indomeneo 5/4 - 50 1st General Marius 3/1 - 50 2nd Dark Blue 16/1 - 16/1 Not too much to say about this as not much stats to go on. If General Marius had, had a run already then i would be all over him, as Varian and SDS have a good strike rate here, and with Novices, but not Novices with no runs previously. Indomeneo is the horse to beat though, if liking the soft ground. Dark Blue will not mind the going. and he has chances, becuase his previous runs have been on firmer ground. For me it between these 3. I will go with Indomeneo due to the fact the horse has had a few runs and has the experience. My Selection: Indomeneo 5/4 

1st Skiffle 7/1 - 75 2nd More Mischief 8/1 - 70 3rd Return Ace 14/1 - 65 Very close race this and Skiffle just tops it. The ground has turned to soft and although she has not run on soft, she is by Dubawi and the soft ground shhould be fine, and her dam has produced another winner on soft. She is stepping back up to 1m 4f for the first time since the Oaks last year, and although she was well beating by Minding. She was beaten a head By Somehow, and came home in front of Seventh Heaven, both Group winners since. That looks to be the best form here. Apphia has been highly tried and this should be more to here liking. More Mischief has a big weight really, and its been a while since a filly has carried that much to victory, however she would run well. My Selection: Skiffle 7/1

1st Red Tornado 8/1 - 110 2nd Ebony Express 7/2 - 80 3rd Curious Carlos 13/2 - 60 4th Star Foot 9/1 - 55 Red Tornando won this last year for connections. He is back again with another good chance. last year Dan Skelton sent 4 horses to this meeting, and they won 3. Overall Dan has sent 11 runners here in July and won 5 races here. So far this year he has sent 1 horse here this year and won, so any Dan Skelton runner has to be taken very seriously. Also the fact that Harry Skelton is back on board. He has stats of  3, 1, 1, 1, 1 on this horse, and they last time he rode him was in this race last year. That signals some intent here.  He is 1lb higher in the handicap now than when he won it last year, but carrying 3lb less, this is because of John Constable being in the race. The going, distance and track all suit. A good run should be expected. As i said though John Constable is in the race, he won a Grade 3 last time out over 1f shorter, he won by an impressive 14L, and in
