Lake Victoria has plenty of ability and I hope she wins her race in style but she hangs to her right and I suspect that this track is left handed . The opposition is an unknown quantity therefore even money I will avoid . If you fancy her do not worry about the trip as her half brother stays 14f at a good gallop carrying 9 9 .
Good luck .

I have used the Irish Guineas lists and added to them . Inevitably I will have missed some and I will add them as I remember them . We need the French ladies for instance .
Lake Victoria I have 1lb above the top colts .
Twain continues to puzzle me so I have perched him as low as possible . 
Ruling Court is being hailed as a Superstar by some . The only danger to him at Meydan did not turn up and beating The Fingal Raven does not , at the moment. , make him a great horse . He looked good first time out as a baby and did not progress so more evidence is needed but it was a smooth performance from a very taking colt . I have pushed it by 2 as the official distance was greater than I thought .

The figure for Twain is suspect . It could be miles out but let us hope for a star . A rout would be nice .

The Futurity result means that Delacroix goes up 2lb , the rest unchanged .

It might be wrong to think Thrice is second string here . Remember Marquand was booked for Expanded in The Dewhurst . Wayne was on the rag no matter what .

An Irish apprentice to keep an eye on is P A Harnett . The figures I have been getting have convinced me that he is worth every pound of his 5 .
I checked his stats as I did not want to put up an obvious candidate and , to my horror , I saw that Paddy has not had a winner on the Flat this season . Nonetheless I maintain that he is a rider with a future .

N B 2lb per length so none is without a chance . Of the outsiders , that could run , Royal Playwright , SeaCRUISER and God Of War are worth looking up .
The last mentioned is also in The Horris Hill.
With 3lb between the top 8 this should be 11/2 the field .

If you know your form you will be frothing at the mouth over the figures for Serengeti and Mississippi . The figures shown are for their debut runs . The Leopardstown race won by Twain is a mystery to me but I have gone with the idea that Mississippi did not come on for his debut and clearly Serengeti was disappointing .
But Exactly was exciting in the Group3 and goes up.

It looks simple .
Seagulls Eleven was +7 wrt Shadow Of Light before and ran 8lb behind that horse .
Expanded came forward the expected 7lb . The Ballydoyle babies usually improve more from debut but this chap has only had a week and can not have had much done with him if anything .
Ancient Truth comes forward a couple of pounds and that is acceptable as he had a rail to keep him straight today .
Therefore Shadow Of Light goes up a pound .
And the search for top 2 y o continues . Top colt I mean since the fillies look to be better . I have Lake Victoria just 1lb ahead of Desert Flower .
Several colts  have claims including Cosmic Year and Detain . If he gets another run I believe Cosmic Year could go past the fillies .

I have been conservative with the rating for Hotazhell . I suspected that my figures for Windlord and Trinity College were too high and adjusted them but it could be argued that they were correct and that would put Hotazhell out on his own here . Unlikely but not impossible

Desert Flower +5
Tabiti +5

.
Be careful here since Ballet Slippers was very good on her second start but put in a laboured performance when winning . Her rating for her win would have her at the bottom of the page .

Much is being made of the fact that Babouche beat colts last time . If you check the form you will see that Whistlejacket might have two ways of running .Edit Ouch , I thought Victoria's 2nd run was over 6f .
