Bowen to hit the bullseye

Edit Sporting Life 25 Jun 2014

As Groucho Marx famously said, "I don't want to belong to any club that will accept people like me as a member", though people are (still) arguing about the veracity of that particular comment ... Not that I'm a curmudgeon though ... This is a tough race and the likes of Hymenaios, who was a fine third at the Investec Derby meeting, and the improving Kinshasa won't make life easy ... ....

Eyecatchers Of The Day. Pasaka Boy's wide draw of 16 did not really give him much of a hope in the City And Suburban Handicap but Jonny Portman's gelding showed enough to suggest he could be a feature if he returns to Epsom ... He has a valuable three-year-old handicap in his sights while HYMENAIOS looked in fine fettle in his latest piece of stronger work with a recent winner and goes in the 10-furlong handicap ... ....
