If Jim Ratcliffe wore 10 real £40,000 Rolex's on each arm, and they all got stolen, and he went into London every single day.
It would take him 5,000 days, 13.7 years, and 100,000 Rolex's to pay back the £4bn he has dodged in taxes.

Finally, the 7-furlong h'cap at 3:00pm at #Newbury is a cracker - Classic & Cracking Gold are both on my alert list, but they maybe beaten by LEADMAN. He was impeded early LTO, si=o ignore that. Before that, his win on 11July is top form, and a repeat will see him hake this. Odds of 13/2, ew wager

Back to #Newbury for the next selection: another improving 3yo in the 3:35 Group 2 Hungerford Stakes over 7-furlongs, it's SPY CHIEF. The ground and trip will suit him, and he could make-all the running in this. Plenty of 8/1 so if you fear him being caught late, there's scope for an ew wager.

Next up is another rapidly improving 3yo, BINHAREER in the 2:05pm at Newmarket. This horse looks like being Group 3 ability at 6-furlongs, so racing off OR87 in this handicap should be a formality for him. There's plenty of 5/2 available #horseracing

There's some great #horseracing today. No blog from me, but here's a few thoughts. The opening race at Newbury at 1:50pm should go to the improving 3yo PINHOLE. It's difficult to see any of his 5 rivals being capable of beating him. Odds of 2/1 are available.

Last night at #Chepstow my selection (Salamanca City) was 2nd to Crowd Quake: a horse winning for the 6th time in 8 races this season. Trainer, Mr SC Williams, gave the horse a real "Barney Curley" style intro: debut in a 2-mile NHF race, then 3 races over 5-furlongs to race off OR45. #horseracing
