NAPS HAT-TRICK AMONG 13 WINS: Daqman started a scintillating run of form at 4.25 on Thursday which ended yesterday, 48 hours later, with best-in-race form figures, including one lay, of 1111101101311310. There were three naps in a row among 13 winning bets including a treble up:

THREE (Thursday):

WON 7-4 Lady Of Dubai
LAY WON Jellicle Ball (3rd 15-8)
WON 4-5 Yorkidding (Banker nap)

FOUR (Friday):

WON 16-1 Czech It Out
WON 3-1 Storm The Stars (nap)
WON 5-6 Endless Time
WON 4-11 Nelspruit

FIVE (Saturday):

WON 12-1 Enlace (from 16.0 on BETDAQ)
WON 7-2 The Corsican
WON 2-1 Mutarakez
3RD 9-1 Explosive Lady (from 13.5 on BETDAQ)
WON 2-5 Gleneagles (40-point Diamond Banker nap)

105 POINTS PROFIT IN TWO DAYS: Friday and Saturday produced a profit of over 105 points, as Gleneagles landed a bankers four-timer. Yesterday’s results went 2-1 to Pricewise in the value challenge, and it’s now Daqman 32, Pricewise 8. They do battle again today in the Tattersalls Gold Cup (3.20) and the Irish 1,000 Guineas (3.55) at The Curragh.


CANALETTO BANKER TO ENTER EPSOM PICTURE

2.45 The Curragh (Gallinule Stakes) Aidan O’Brien (13 wins) has a phenomenal record in this, 111111211 in the last nine years alone, including success with subsequent Queens Vase and Gold Cup winner, Leading Light.

That harked back to the days of Alleged and Ardross in the Seventies, with nothing much of note in between; certainly not with Derby pretentions.

But Ruler Of The World’s brother, Giovanni Canaletto, quoted as low as 8-1 in places with bookmakers but 11.0 on BETDAQ, could be Ballydoyle’s last-chance saloon for Epsom. He must surely win this.


CHAMPION STATUS HAS MERELY BEEN POSTPONED

3.20 The Curragh (Tattersalls Gold Cup) Al Kazeem, the 2013 winner, attempts one of the great comebacks by taking his first Group-1 since he won Eclipse of 2013 off 126.

He’s still 6lb below that level, though the handicapper has resurrected him by 3lb, since his one-paced fifth behind The Grey Gatsby in last September’s Irish Champion Stakes.

But Gatsby, the horse that vanquished Australia that day at Leopardstown, is back after looking below par, second over too short a trip in Dubai two months ago. Trainer Kevin Ryan is bullish.

The nearest Fascinating Rock got to Australia was eight lengths, and there’s not much between him and Parish Hall here recently. Indeed they are locked together on 113 each in the ratings.

Postponed looked a fast-ground mile-and-a-half horse, when his second season culminated in victory over the recent Yorkshire Cup winner, Snow Sky, in the Great Voltigueur (Group 2) last August.

But trainer Luca Cumani has entered him solely for 1m 2f contests this season: he didn’t get the pace he wanted on his return at Sandown but finished well, and the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes and the Eclipse are next on the agenda.

This, for me, is a fascinating contest between the upstart Postponed and the enigma that is The Grey Gatsby, never really taken seriously as the winner of a muddling French Derby and supposedly stopping Australia because the end of the champion’s busy season.


GENTLEMAN JIM HAS EXPLOSIVE IRISH 1,000 FILLY

3.55 The Curragh (Irish 1,000 Guineas) Two Newmarket Guineas winners (Finsceal Beo and Attraction) and one second have gone on to score in this Curragh version in the last decade, with Aidan O’Brien leading Dermot Weld 3-2 in that time.

One of Weld’s had just two runs, one win, but he’s cutting it even finer with Joailliere, seen on a racecourse only once in a her life.

Impressive though she was, inexperience could find her out today. But Pat Smullen has the ride, leaving Leigh Roche on Stormfly, who gives Weld a strong yardstick, since she was third in the Derrinstown 1,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (heavy ground), won by Kissed By Angels (Devonshire second). My order-in:

1 PLEASCACH (Gaelic for ‘explosive’). Drops back two furlongs here after running up to Bocca Baciata (‘kiss on the mouth’ in Italian) on her reappearance and then slamming the Blue Wind field at Naas.

She looks all over an Oaks candidate for The Curragn, with Bocca Baciata 12-1 in a place for the English Oaks at Epsom.

Second filly home in the Blue Wind, Zannda, was runner-up to another Epdom Oaks livewire, Jaazzi Top, in the Pretty Polly at Newmarket.

What’s pleasing about Pleascach is she’s done all this in only four starts, shepherded by the ever-patient Gentleman Jim Bolger, and sired by his unbeaten, Teofilo, sadly denied his Classic season..

2 KISSED BY ANGELS You’d think this was an Oaks, not a Guineas. For here again is a strong filly with bags of inbred stamina (sire Galileo) but out of a superb miler in Lillie Langtry.

As low as 12-1 for the Epsom Oaks, she pulverized the field in the Derrinstown 1,000 Guineas Trial (Devonshire second), albeit on heavy ground.

Ballydoyle’s number one appears to be Found, the Grand Criterium (Pouliches) winner at Longchamp in the autumn (Malabar fourth).

But she is badly drawn, and was beaten by a 23lb inferior filly in the Athasi Stakes.

3 RAYDARA Another whose breeding is packed with stamina but another with the speed to win over 7f on top of the ground as a two-year-old.

We didn’t know then that the filly she pipped in a Group-2 at The Curragh last August on firm, Lucida, would finish second in the Newmarket 1,000 Guineas (Malabar fourth). Lacks an outing.

4 JOAILLIERE (sorry Malabar, I know you always book fourth, as Endless Drama yesterday always finishes second), 5 FOUND lost.
