Sire has had 1 winner at beyond 7f on turf in UK - plenty of runners too (70 plus I think).As you hint the market will revolve around whether they try and target the 2000 guineas with him - there are sohttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30725129/gimcrack-stakes-20th-aug?post_id=549716093#549716093I doubt Caravaggio will stay a mile personally.

But I don't rate this year's Gimcrack as top notch/proper Gp2. The likes of Caravaggio and Mehmas are a different kettle of fish should they meet (again), and 10/1 for the 2000G is about right even if Caravaggio is absent.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30725129/gimcrack-stakes-20th-aug?post_id=549715983#549715983ReaseHeathThanks.

The unknown is Mubtasim but I'm not a fan of Mokarris.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30725129/gimcrack-stakes-20th-aug?post_id=549714509#549714509I'm hopeful about Blue Point unless the softening ground is an inconvenience; I cannot have Intelligence Cross who likes good/firm ground.
