GYTO Thursday Notebook Double

Likeable mare FREE WIND won this fresh last year showing a good attitude to fend off Rogue Millennium. The front pair came clear and given the runner-up went on to win the Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot that turned out to be strong form. John Gosden’s mare went on to clock a career best at this track too going down just a neck to Warm Heart in the Yorkshire Oaks so she goes particularly well at this track. She had main danger here Bluestocking back in fourth so I expect her to confirm that form. She is one to catch fresh now and should be difficult to beat. Sapphire Seas saw her winning run end in Dubai last time but is another one capable of a bold showing.

I have been waiting for MASTER BUILDER to run as he was taken out the other day. This son of Mastercraftsman was an eye-catcher on debut going down less than 2 lengths into second at Windsor. He was slowly into stride and showed clear signs of inexperience before keeping on in good style. The third Loving Look has run well since bumping into a nice horse in Silent Glance so I expect it to work out in time. The winner already had a run under his belt too so it was a good effort to chase him home. In terms of a danger debutant Bye Bye Salam catches the eye making his racecourse debut. Signalman has been gelded since down the field on debut and is also respected.
