I have had to make a few changes . The favourite is way too short . His Superlative run was impressive but the runner up was nearly blown over and the third ran like a mule . The Dewhurst win was comfortable rather than impressive . Aiden O'brien said " If he runs well at Newmarket he could go for ....." . That statement does not smack of over confidence . I am playing Devil's Advocate but the price is silly .
Many say , quite rightly , that Ebn Shaddad will come on for his run in the Craven but few say the same about Haatem . If he had finished third , say , all and sundry would be claiming that he would come on for the run . He wins nicely and it is assumed that he is the finished article . I think Haatem has sound e/w claims .
There must be doubts about Rosallion getting the trip and Bucanero Fuerte looks more of a sprinter than miler .
