#2- Cadillac (scr) has scratched, taking some of the value out of the race. #7- Mighty Ulysses (7-5) has to answer the 9F question today, but not expecting the distance to get him beat. #3- Finest Sound (8-1) looks to be rounding into form for the Crisford yard, on his best he could be right there.

EX- 7/3,5  Result: 5,3,4  Looked like Mighty Ulysses didn't see out the trip. Finest Sound ran very well, that's where the bet should have been. Alflaila ($7.20) gets the win for Shadwell and that man Owen Burrows.

Melrose Handicap (Ebor 'win and you're in' for 3yos) & the Ebor Handicap (4up) both races at 14 furlongs.

R2 (9:25am EDT)- 1m6f (1m5f188y) Sky Bet Melrose Handicap (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo)

#1- Wild Crusade (5-1) is Appleby/Buick/Godolphin, progressive through six cautiously managed starts, must answer a few questions today but seems likely to improve again. #13- Soulcombe (7-2) turned his form around after being gelded three starts ago. Gets Hollie Doyle aboard today, Haggas is on a scorching run, another that should move forward. 

EX- 1,13/1,4,7,10,13  Result: 13,4,12  Exacta $74.80  Soulcombe ($7.40) was slowest from the gate, sat out the back until the home straight, then unleashed a blistering run to mow them all down under Hollie Doyle. Impressive!

Redboard: Nice exacta hit in R3- City of York Stakes (GII) 7F, Kinross and Frankie over my pal Pogo. There really needs to be a GI race or two at 7F in GB, why not the Lennox at Goodwood and this one. More than half the field today have been GI performers. Future stallion bias IMO.


Result: 5,6,10  Exacta $99.60

EX- 10,15/2,9,10,14,15,21

Result: 19,21,14  Riding masterclass from Dettori on Trawlerman ($21.60) for the Gosdens/Godolphin. On the far side by himself for the first half mile, he was slotted over gradually to join the rest of the field, got passed by two horses in deep stretch, but found something and surged at the line.
