We are back at Newmarket this afternoon with a runner and our first of the week. Olympicus runs in the 2:10.

Olympicus is slowly coming around to our way of thinking, he's very head strong and likes to go fast as possible from the outset which isn't much good. He settled a little better at Sandown but was still very keen in the early part of the race.

No doubt he'll be keen again today but touch wood takes another step forward and doesn't race back to front.

York has made great viewing this week, quality racing each day. The Ebor is the big race of the meeting and takes places this afternoon at 3:35.

Sweet William could be a Group Horse in a handicap and could make a mockery of his rating. Backing him at 3-1 in a race of this nature though isn't for me. At the same time finding one against him isn't easy. Maybe Adjuvant EW at 12-1.
