I will try again . The weather forecast is for a heatwave .
Field Of Gold 0+
Ruling Court +2+
Shadow Of Light +4
Expanded +5
Wimbledon Hawkeye +7
Benevento +8
Scorthy Champ +9
Green Impact +12+
Seagulls Eleven +12
Yah Mo Be There +12
Tornado Alert +14+
The lays and I have left them as they were
Field Of Glory , too short a price
Scorthy Champ , really does not have the form for this at the moment
Shadow Of Light , he might not get the trip
13/8 this trio is an acceptable risk .
The bet is tricky but Rashabar e/w @ 25/1 looks fair enough .
The rationale is that I believe the Jean-Luc Lagardere has been underestimated , certainly I have underestimated it . Therefore Rashabar could be +2+ in my reckoning .
He will get the trip
He will go on the going
He is race fit and in form
He has form in G1 races and he goes well on a straight track .
The downside could be that he has no Newmarket form .
And , if he is declared , don't rule out Noble Champion . He had a setback in training before the Greenham yet ran to 1lb of his expected figure . Racing on the far wing he was not disgraced .
Whistlejacket's win yesterday was more good news for the Rashabar form . EDIT , What a cracking start to the season !!!
Lake Victoria 0
Desert Flower +1
Simmering +2
Red Letter +2
Duty First +6+
Chantez +6
Chantilly Lace +6+ interpolated figure might be way too high
The lay bet has to be Desert Flower .
Field Of Gold might have been unfortunate . It was not the fault of Shoemark . For 4 strides in the 6th furlong the favourite was not travelling and once back in action he ran his race .
