Here we go - the final day and come on the Folio! CHESHAM Lightly raced 2yos again, virtually all of them stepping up to their first try at 7f. La Guarida won nicely at Goodwood at her second start, running away from the field in the latter stages. I'm a big fan of the New Bay breed, she's more likely to sit up on the pace than some of her rivals. Matnookh was a big run on debut, she completely blew the start and then rattled home late. This is a considerable step up in class but there's underlying talent there. Pearls And Rubies and Nemonte were both impressive on debut, running on fron back in the field. They won't be far away. VERDICT La Guarida, Matnookh, Pearls And Rubies JERSEY Covey looks a very good prospect but I'm not diving in to take the price given the number of favourites that have crashed and burned this week. Not convinced the form of his last win is that flash, those behind him aren't winning anything special in their careers. Quan Shamar
A complete wipeout on Thursday with the day bookended by 150/1 and 50/1 winners. Bookies in clover! ALBANY STAKES Some very fast fillies in here, with quite a few unbeaten from one or two starts. On figures from UK races, Carla's Way, Jabaara and Soprano set the standard with a trio of Irish fillies - Matrika, Navassa Island and Porta Fortuna, representing a strong visiting contingent. Of that group, it's the one runner who hasn't yet won a race that I most like. Navassa Island was a huge run at Naas, motoring home late to just be denied against Porta Fortuna. She is a half-sister to the G1-winner Lazoo who runs later in the Commonwealth Cup. Like Carla's Way, she was an expensive breeze-up purchase who has been aimed at early success. Jabaara really knuckled down well at Newmarket when given full rein while Flaccianello might be yet another Amo Racing juvenile with talent. She didn't have much idea what she was doing at Catterick and still won, despite being rid
