GYTO Notebook Double for Wednesday 3rd July
That was a really promising debut effort from THUNDER RUN and he should have a great chance to go one better here. He couldn’t really have shaped with any more promise if he tried running on strongly from off the pace to close down the winner late on. He will know a lot more with that under his belt and looks one to keep on side today and going forward. He should love going up to a mile and I think he’ll stay further in the future as well.
Obviously The Reverend won’t make life easy as he overcame inexperience to make a winning start at Newmarket. He should also enjoy going up a furlong in trip but this faster ground might go against him as it was quite testing the last day. Of the rest Urban Lion will have more to come but needs to leave that debut run behind and might need more time and experience.

It is a shame only 4 horses head to post for this but I’m fairly confident LADY O is the value play. I was impressed with her debut win at Roscommon and she didn’t go unbacked that day suggesting they probably knew she was quite a nice filly. She won by just under a length and with improvement expected I think she could follow up here before being targeted at some bigger pots down the line.
Saxon Warrior colt Surpass also won on debut and is trained by Aidan O’Brien so will go off favourite. He only prevailed by a neck on debut though and he did race a bit lazily at times through that. He is clearly a nice prospect as well but I’m keen on the selection at a bigger price.

Value Tip for Wednesday 3rd July
Horses for courses! MARLEY PARK always catches the eye when running at Epsom and again he ran a big race in defeat when fourth over C&D on Oaks day on penultimate start. That is decent form involving Rhoscolyn, Mission To Moon and The X O and while he blew out at Lingfield last time back at this venue and given a bit more help by the handicapper this four-time C&D winner may well bounce back to his best. He is back on his last winning mark and as competitive as this looks I think he appeals as great value.
Tropez Power is probably better on the AW but he has been catching the eye somewhat in defeat so if bringing his best form would be a major player and is the danger. Hodler was behind the selection on penultimate start but then ran well at Lingfield and has won at this track so is another one I can see getting competitive at least.
