Action might be worth buying with a view to sell in running . With Godolphin's pacemaker guaranteed to go off full pelt it is just possible that Action could steal a few lengths for little effort . He goes on the track , all ground comes alike to him and his run at Ascot was far better than it looks on paper . This is his trip .EDIT : looks like he goes to the Voltigeur
Then there is Morris Dancer whose form might get a boost this afternoon .

It is possible to obtain a higher figure for Gaga Girl but it is far too high I think . After scratching away at the form I did spot that Gerald Mosse has thrown his filly in at the deep end . She has only ever contested condition ,  hcap and listed events .Mosse is no fool so she might be worth a little in the place market .
EDIT : Due to the vagaries of WFA scales winner and second will be on the same mark for this result .
It looks as if Precise has been a tad below par in her previous two outings .

Hannon had a terrible time last year and his 2 y o were nothing . Orions Belt was the only one I noticed that was well entered up . Richard's horses are rolling along nicely now so perhaps this filly will come good . Take a look as she ran against some good tools . She ran well here but did not get a clear run .

You might have spotted a slight discrepancy re Gstaad and Opera Ballo . It is down to WFA .

Gstaad's figure is from The Curragh and the order is on countback . The Irish 2000 looks even better now than it did at the time .
EDIT : It should be obvious how to rate this result but for those with special needs you can see that the big two have run to their best and so has Ten Bob Tony . Therefore Bow Echo goes up by 2 with a + , Gstaad rests unchanged and you rate the rest accordingly .  The Racing gurus who claimed that the 3 y o are no good can keep quiet now . They should also take another look at The Gladness . You will remember that that race was won by " an ageing handicapper " . It is my belief that Bow Echo would get 10f easily and it might be that Gstaad would be effective at that trip .

The ? must remain by Diamond Necklace as yesterday's figure , which can be viewed as high , rests upon the run of Friendly Soul as it is possible that the others did not turn up at all .
There is no doubt about those that poured scorn on the 3 y o in spite of all evidence . We know exactly what they are .

The figure for Wurtemberg comes from his running with Croix Du Nord over 16f . It looks and probably is flukey but Shin Emperor was the right distance behind to suggest that the form could be correct .

It is clear that Calandagan has run 2lb below his previous best and Kalpana has improved slightly .
The 3 y 0 ran well and has to be dropped accordingly . But with Item improving a couple of pounds at York and Benvenuto Cellini running so well in defeat the Quacks should revise their poor opinion of the Classic generation .
........?......EDIT : In fact it is possible to argue that the French star ran to his best . In which case no adjustment would be necessary for Benvenuto Cellini and he and Item would rest on the same perch since the latter carried a penalty at York .

In an open race Lamborghini is overpriced . Do not make the mistake of thinking that I have obtained the rating by using Great Wish as a marker . A scandinavian sprinter has won in England before , it might have been a listed race .
