Phil Bradley pointed out, correctly, that the reader might gain more from my selections if I also gave their fate. So today I picked the following, none of which obliged. The closest to a win I could manage was Eagle Mountain, who came in fourth in the big race, the Racing Post Trophy, won by Peter Chapple-Hyam's 25/1 outsider Authorized; I think the heavy going may have been behind this surprise, though in the colt's only other race, on the same course, he came third on good ground.
Chepstow 155: Hasty Prince
Newbury 205: Desert Dew
Newbury 240: Alfie Flits
Newbury 315: Eagle Mountain
