I've only really focused on the UK league this upload, the pace in the USRA is a farce and the draw bias is far too much in favour of the inside so nothing of mine really runs to any form like it does in my CK, hence I haven't got the willpower to keep watching my horses take a pasting every week.

Have given up hope really of improving my milers past what I have already (they dont seem to be improving AT ALL) at the moment, and my sprinters are exactly the same so I've decided to branch out a little and go for the longer distances, something which I've very rarely done since getting involved in the SOPL - so inspired by the form of my Keep Kicking On, here we go.

UKRA
Inchcailloch - This is probably my chief derby contender and he absolutely loves Epsom, it's taken a few years to breed him and he snuck in just before the upload closed on Saturday in a last ditch attempt to ready a colt good enough to compete at the level required. This is a rapid improvement on Erhaab who came second in last years Derby and I expect this to go very close from hopefully a reasonable draw.

Asset Of Martaban - Probably as good as Inchcailloch but appears a little less consistent in the CK, and he'll probably go the handicap route but he's a very smart animal on his day and should win a few races throughout the season.

Zarkasha - Probably my Oaks horse but there isn't much between this and Excellent Moon if at all, but I prefer the name of this one and she seems ever so slightly more consistent in the CK than her stablemate. She runs in a York maiden in Week 5 and will go straight to Epsom. She's an improvement of around 10L on last years winner Fionnlagh so hopefully it'll be enough to retain 'my' Oaks.

Excellent Moon - As said above she is about the same ability as Zarkasha but decided to take Zarkasha to Epsom, I might go handicapping with this one or take her to Ireland for the Irish Oaks because Zarkasha isn't great at the Curragh from what I've seen in my trials.

Rakhaingpray - Is quite possibly better than both my Derby colts in the league but didn't export well at 3 in my game, but he trials very well at Epsom and other tracks and will be my major runner for all the top honours over 12f this season until that is I find one better for the next upload window.

Faithful Son - Posesses a devilish turn of foot which only seems to turn on around Ascot, so the logical target will be the Prince Of Wales stakes but Jason Burke's runner in that will take some beating (if he has one) because his horses at Ascot are almost untouchable. Nice horse though this and hopefully everything drops right for him in his big target for the year.

Switch Operator - Another horse which loves Ascot but seems alot more versatile at other tracks. When he's on song he's a force to be reckoned with but we'll see how these pair match up to the rest of them in the league, they're a big improvement on Nizhoni Point though.

Beaulieu - Game horse, trials very nicely over 14f and is the best in my trials at both Doncaster and York, and his first assignment will be the Yorkshire Cup.

Straitjacket - An improvement on my sprinting runners in the league at the moment but wether he'll be upto matching Lee Cara and Jasons and the other main guys sprint hopes remains to be seen. He trials nicely though and the July Cup is the target for the season, hopefully he'll get his firm ground.

Two-Year-Olds
Warningford - Goes very nicely over 5f on Good ground and is quite consistent with it aswell. Likes Ascot and Doncaster so will start off in a maiden and then possibly the Norfolk Stakes and I'll be happy with a place.

Daleridge Freedom - Not sure how he'll measure up to some of the better stables but he impressed me in his Newmarket trials, appears to want quicker ground but will be tried in at the top level over six furlongs and see how he gets on.

Gabriel Wilder - Nice horse over 7f on Good ground but appears tempremental, is due to run at Newbury and we'll learn where we stand with him from that.

Paper Talk - Quite a nice 6f horse, loves Newmarket - will see what we can pick up with him along the way but he isn't better than Daleridge Freedom I dont think.

Hopefully some more winners will come from this week onwards.
