The Novice Tipster

  1st Ylang Ylang 4/1 - 70 2nd Cinderellas Dream 16/1 - 60 2nd Porta Fortuna 14/1 - 60   Ylang Ylang looks to want further but is a winner over C&D on soft groun in the Group 1 Fillies Mile, her stamina will help and to win a guineas they say you need to stay further than 1 mile.  Cinderellas Dream has won over 1m and unusually for a Godolphin horse, she hasnt been to Newmarket. But they tend to cope with the dip. She has only won a Maiden and a Novice so we dont really know how good she is, she can only beat whats against her. Porta Fortuna i would worry about getting a mile, she was also beaten by Fallen Angel at the Curragh over 7f, her best has been at 6f so far. Her dam got 1m 4f so she could possibly make it. This race is a lot tighter than the 2000gns system anything can improve, but im happy to stick with Ylang Ylang here My Selection: Ylang Ylang 4/1

  1st Haatem 28/1 -90 2nd Ghostwriter 14/1 - 75 3rd City Of Troy 4/6 Well i hope the winner comes from these 3!! The next best was Task Force at 30 so these 3 drew far ahead. Haatem was a shock ill be honest but his win in the Craven over C&D was good, and it was on the same kind of ground he will encounter here.  Ghostwriter won the Royal Lodge over C&D and this ground should be ok City Of Troy we all know about, he will stay i looks like he will be a 10f horse maybe 12f, is he fast enough for the mile, i expect he is. They say he coupld be a triple crown horse. He won the Dewhurst here on soft. He has obvious claims.  The systems tend to work with the more stats the better and obviously some dont have the stats here, so its taken on experience and at Newmarket experience means a lot. I will stick with Haatem here for ew purposes but wouldnt put you off any of these  My Selection - Haatem 28/1
