14.30 Ascot: Jodies Jem @ 9/1 Paddy Power - 2pts win
I felt Jodies Jem was a shade unlucky not to finish closer than 3rd last time out at Sandown in awful conditions. This lovely progressive gelding travelled like a dream, on the bridle approaching the 2f marker, he was short of room and hampered, though, having a tough time finding a gap, when he switched widest of all eventually and finished well there. His only wins came on the All-Weather so far, but he was only neck beaten at Sandown earlier this year and produced then this lovely most recent performance, suggesting there is more to come.
19.55 Wolverhampton: Malaysian Boleh @ 11/2 PaddyPower - 3pts win
Living the Life is a strong favourite here, having been probably a shade unlucky recently, but looks not the most straightforward horse and is too short in my mind, while Malaysian Boleh doesn't get quite the respect he deserves. He won with a good deal in hand over course and distance in his penultimate run while dropping in trip to 6f at Kempton two weeks ago, which wasn't in his favour. While he travelled strongly in rear, he had to switch widest of all and it took him then a while to hit top gear while the first three kicked away in that stage. Once in full swing Malaysian Boleh finished fastest of all, though, cutting back the deficit in promising fashion. back over 7f he should have a major chance tomorrow.
