I have a feeling I am a doughnut because Appleby's 3-year-olds do not seem fully wound up. Won nicely first time up. Expensive at 500,000 guineas, but it is sandwich money to Godolphin, and they have classic entries coming out of their ears. Who knows what the winter has done to some of them and how forward they are. You can get some really decent-price winners if you have a bit of inside info.

I like Scheffler and the selection in this. It's entirely possible Jack Channon is just running to get a mark, as it has another entry in three days' time. Despite finishing fifth last time, it finished off well and displayed promise. I would sooner have a small bet at a ludicrous 33/1 than a small bet on Scheffler, the second favorite, who did show a deal of promise on its racecourse debut.

Do horses tend to overjump when they come back from abortive chase missions? Well, if trained by a very good trainer, the horse itself is prone to the odd jumping error, but all in all has an excellent chance in this if things go to plan. Red Rubio may well prove to be better than his opponents in time. Tricky race.

Drops back a furlong ??" that outing may have been a step too far. All the usual suspects have runners. In some respects, you may as well pull names out of a hat.

Ryan M rode last time and changes to hotshot and probable favourite Time For Sandals. Harry Charkton's string is a little late out of the traps, but the horse is improving. In a race of many possibles, I will have a small punt. If you gave me money, I would also have a small wager on Washington Heights to outrun its odds.

I am not a great fan of the Gosden team and it has cost me dear over the years, but Asmeralda won his Class 5 opener at Kempton decently. Entered in the One Thousand Guineas, this is a sighter to its showing, I guess, if they take up the challenge. Four places??"the owner has a pretty good rate of success with John and Thady. The winter has been slightly kinder in the south, so the fillies may be a little more forward. A paddock check is a must really before laying down the folding.

A truly terrific race. If you had followed these all season, you would come out ahead. Any one of the seven can win. The marginal drifting of Isaac Newton suggests he is not fully wound up, and it is a bit short. Possibly Karl Burke sent Shayem for the $3 million Saudi Derby ??" it bombed, but there could be a host of reasons. Wareeth won a Class 4 by 14 lengths, so it could be anything. The others all boast impressive form. Charlie Appleby has his horses forward. It seems a little money for the selection. He won a nice race at Goodwood last back end and has no doubt strengthened up over the winter. No surprise to see a 20/1 shot win, but for me the safety shot.

I know the Hugo Palmer horse is well fancied and they kind of target this race, but he is a big fellow and, without seeing him in the paddock, I reckon he will need the run. I was drawn to the selection and Blue Courvoisier, but the Hannon horse ran over a mile last year and has filled out a bit in the meantime. I like this time of year, even if I bomb, because you can see how they have fared in the winter.

Although I have napped it, this is a mighty tight race, and I would not be surprised to see a length between the first four. I was sweet on Heracles, who has been ridden by Mulrennan a lot of late, but he renews an on/off partnership with Smarts. Not entirely sure it has the toe over 5 to give weight away. We shall see.

I have been going to back Grey Diamond forever, but on reflection I do not think the run at Cheltenham is going to work in his favour.

There is a certain amount of sentiment attached to this, as I never normally back hunter chasers. Nearly 60 years ago I had a colleague who concentrated on them, and out of 20 bets I remember 18 were winners. Ain't gonna happen with me. I tossed up between this and Snipe. The relative inexperience of the rider puts me off a bit, but the horse even now has potential up in class and is too short unless fancied.

Bonkers price, but if it goes to odds-against it won't win. These early-season novice events are deadly, and this should only be a sandwich-money bet. Ran well and finished off well after looking as green as a vicar on a fishing trawler on its only racecourse appearance four months ago. Fahey, the trainer, runs two, both with chances on racecourse form. The selection has not got a great draw, and it all depends on fitness and what is lurking.

7 years old. 13 races, one place to show for it. Is he drunk? No. I just think that, having shown a modicum of form last time, he is overpriced and may well finish last. Wainwright has a very small stable now. Jo Mason rides Easter Sunday, probably running for the racing club owners apart from maybe 2 runners. This is a terrible race.

Better price today, so I am willing to risk a very small wager.
