Please note: We will not have any selections on Sunday or daily bets for Monday, as I am focusing on Royal Ascot from here on in and will be concentrating on that form. Expect potential Royal Ascot selections on Monday evening for Tuesday's card. I will give plenty of notice as usual.
Two for Saturday.
3.50 York Royal Mezyan 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 12/1 (Bet 365, Stan James, Betpack.com, Ladbrokes, guaranteed)
Royal Mezyan looks potentially above handicap class for me and as a result I'm quite keen to support him on his seasonal reappearance despite having to take his fitness on trust. His trainer William Haggas tends to have his horses fit enough first time up, and we saw with Rex Imperator a couple of weeks back that they are quite astute in starting them off in the right race, placing them well. I think the selection could be much better than a mark of OR90 and the booking of Oisin Murphy, who is daylight robbery for his 3lb, is an additional boon. The stable won this two years ago with Sholaan, and I expect the selection to go close for them this afternoon. Anything 10/1+ is too big.
8.05 Lingfield Cyflymder 5pts win @ 9/2 / 4/1 (Generally guaranteed)
It is a credit to his connections that a moderate horse like Cyflymder has been able to pick up nine races in his eighty race career. His handicap mark has dropped over the course of the last year, but he showed he retains plenty of ability in two recent Musselburgh runs, and he is a danger to all here off a mark of OR50. David Probert rides this track particularly well, and the selection's prominent racing style might just be favoured as temperatures rise and the volume of kickback increases. Front runners have tended to be favoured at this time of year, and with many of his rivals either moderate, uncertain to handle conditions or badly drawn in the case of One Way Or Another, I think the 9/2 actually looks very good value and could shorten before the off.
Profit & loss: day: -11.00 / month: -22.90 / year: +301.00
