GYTO Notebook Double for Saturday 29th June

Newmarket 3.25 Noble Dynasty (9/4)

The way NOBLE DYNASTY put subsequent Royal Ascot winner English Oak in his place on return was mightily impressive. He obviously steps back up to Group company here but is a half-brother to Barney Roy and could easily have further improvement to come. He has won 4 of his last 6 so is developing a good strike rate and under positive tactics again looks the most likely winner. He has won over a mile in the past so he should be strong at the finish like he was the last day and 9/4 seems generous to me.

Tiber Flow has promised to do better for a while and did finally deliver at Haydock last time so looks the most obvious danger. Nostrum is the dark horse in here as he obviously had looked really promising but has gone off the boil so hard to back him with any confidence at present.

Newcastle 5.25 Baltic (11/4)

The step up to a mile and a half has really brought about the best in BALTIC and I think this Frankel colt can complete the four-timer here. He showed a good attitude under pressure to prevail again at Yarmouth last time and just 3lb higher with his form stacking up he should be the one to beat tackling tapeta for the first time. He can be a step slow into stride but there looks to be solid pace on so I think it will pan out perfectly for him as he will try and close up late.

Shifter won at Ayr and Redcar and then ran well in defeat when third at York so arrives at the top of her game and looks the danger. Squeezebox is another one in form after going down just a length at Haydock last time so off just 2lb higher should be getting competitive at least.

Value Tip for Saturday 29th June

Newmarket 2.15 Teej A (9/2)

I was at Epsom to see TEEJ A win and it was quite an impressive performance in the flesh. She beat subsequent Royal Ascot winner Rashabar at Chester before that so her form is stacking up. I know the runner-up last time Megalithic has been beat at cramped odds since but that horse wants softer ground and a longer trip by the looks of it so that wouldn’t concern me too much. She steps into Listed company now but looks on an upward curve and I think she is worth keeping on side.

Tales Of The Heart cost some 400,000 guineas as a yearling and she made a bright start winning on debut at Kempton with the penny dropping late on. She has more to come but lacks experience but the yard do usually target a good one at this so she looks the danger. Pouting is quite a big price and might be worth a saver to hit the frame.
