Here are the qualifiers from the chart for Tuesday 4 August:

4.30 Newton Abbot, Present Oriented
4.50 Catterick, Monopole

Here are the qualifiers from the chart for Monday 3 August:

4.30 Newton Abbot, Crazy Eyes (WON 9/1)
5.45 Carlisle, Wednesdays Boy (lost)
7.30 Windsor, Kinsya (NR)
7.45 Carlisle, Smarty Socks (3rd 7/1)
8.45 Carlisle, Its A Mans World (WON 2/1)

I had the option of napping either Mujood or Marajaa at Goodwood on Tuesday as they finished third and fifth, respectively, in Dancourt's red-hot Newmarket race - No.14 in this week's chart - but opted for the former!
I originally went for Marajaa (honest) as he had the plum draw in stall 20, but opted for Mujood's course form instead...how annoying, that would've put me into second in the RFO naps table!!!!

Top of the Form

In what is an extremely busy time for the Flat season with masses of meetings each week, not to mention Glorious Goodwood getting underway today, the list of races currently outside the Top 20 is huge – too much for any individual to plough through. Therefore, I’ve based the following list on quality rather quantity, highlighting just those races with a race rating of +4 – such events would normally make the chart in an average week.

11 June Nottingham 1m2f handicap won by Wake Me Now –
4 wins from 14 runs

27 June Windsor 1m handicap won by Flying Valentino –
2 wins from 5 runs

3 July Sandown 1m6f handicap won by Alanbrooke –
2 wins from 7 runs

4 July Haydock 1m4f handicap won by Barshiba –
2 wins from 2 runs

11 July Nottingham 6f handicap won by Bold Ring –
2 wins from 8 runs
