• Charlie – Inchicore 8.0 (w/p)

14:00 Friday – Cazoo Flying Scotsman Stakes

Team steam for the guys here as they all make Nostrum a bet at 1.7 at the time of recording (but is getting shorter!).

14:35 Friday – Wainwright Flying Childers Stakes (Group 2)

Surely we FINALLY get to see Trueshan! 1.54 at the time of recording, and that’s fine for Adele and Tom, who are both going with him. While Charlie agrees he’s the most likely winner, at the prices, he’s willing to chance Get Shirty (8.25) as a win and place option.

• Tom – Trueshan 1.54
