KALPANA! YOU BEAUTY! 11/10 a gift against that lot. Powered to the front then had a good look about, always doing enough. Perfect start to the day 👌🏻

Saturday's horse racing thread 🧵 Newbury 1.25 Kalpana 11/10 NAP Newmarket 1.42 Twisting Physics 9/4 Newbury 2.00 Sacred Ground 11/4 Newbury 2.35 Zeus Olympios 9/2 Newmarket 2.50 Forty Years On 9/2 Newbury 3.10 Wise Approach 9/2 Doncaster 6.02 The Untamed 11/8 NEXT BEST Great to see KALPANA back here and she looks to have found a great chance to make a winning return. She beat Estrange with something to spare on Champions Day and has more to offer this campaign. She looks the class act with an official rating of 130 and if forward enough for her return should prove a cut above. Jamie Spencer rode a double yesterday and he has a great chance of another winner here in TWISTING PHYSICS for Oliver Cole. This son of Dubawi was progressive last season winning two from four and returned with an encouraging effort albeit a bit keen when sixth at this track last month. If he comes forward and settles better he should be hard to beat. Golden Orbit is clearly quite promising but so is SACRED GROUND and the latter is a bigger price than I thought she'd be at 11/4. She has a run under her belt which is a big advantage and with more to come I can see him resuming winning ways here under Buick. She will be ridden quietly before looking to pick them up in the closing stages. The Lockinge is a great race and I can see ZEUS OLYMPIOS going close with no Field Of Gold in here. He didn't do much wrong when third behind Opera Ballo on reappearance at Sandown and if leaving that behind should come forward and prove himself as Group 1 class. More Thunder could improve again now tackling a mile and looks the danger - I'll probably have an each way saver. Mayson filly FORTY YEARS ON won three of her first four starts before missing just a head to Maybe Not at Southwell. The latter has obviously franked that form quite considerably since and if she improves again this season as expected she should run a big race back on turf here. Appleby and Buick won this 12 months ago and WISE APPROACH could go close here. He needed the run on reappearance at Ascot and is a lot better than that. If he leaves it behind as expected he should run a big race and is largely going under the radar in the betting too. I was really impressed with THE UNTAMED at Ripon and with further improvement to come I think he can make it two wins from three starts here. He looks quite a nice prospect for the yard and while he is penalised here I think he is classy enough to give the weight away and still come out on top. Hopefully worth the wait.

I’ll always champion peaceful protest. But the Unite the Kingdom march organisers are peddling hatred and division. We’ve already blocked visas for far-right agitators who want to come here to spew their extremist views. They don't speak for the decent, fair, respectful Britain I know.
