NOT supplemented

Power and Hoof It both missing from final declarations.

Soul is an out and out wet tracker and his Jubilee run was good, that said I find it very hard to back a third-rater like him to beat his top-class stablemate Sepoy regardless of conditions.

Not much suits Sepoy in this but on top form he is the best horse in this race by a ways.

nice one me, asked about society rock on here few weeks back when he was around 16, fancied it a bit, alas didnt back it

dont lets us put you off in future Elis! I was just reporting what the trainer had said re the stalls. At the end of his comments (posted on here) he did say they planned on running.

Yeah I know. Think I made it sounds like I thought you were.

What im saying is in the ''future'', if you like something,just back it.

There was a guy on twitter last weekend saying he liked Nathaniel but was put off by John Gosdens ''needing the run'' comments. I told him not to worry about that, just back it if YOU fancy it. Gosden the master of spin/blind alleys.

anyone pick the winner?

Front 2 handled the heavy ground OK ,the rest appeared not to,to varying degrees.
     Mayson was very pickable if you could forgive his last 2 runs. The York defeat was excusable as he apparently injured
himself in the stalls. The Newcastle defeat was very difficult to forgive. What happened that day is a mystery to me and
looked a  bit suspect. Despite running against the near rail with a massive draw bias in his favour and similar ground to today
he ran very poorly for no reason. He drifted out to nearly double his early price ,which given that at the time it looked
like he had nearly the best form in the race and would like the heavy conditions looked strange. Fahey sent out negative
messages before the race saying the horse may find it too soft. Fahey said after todays race ,his Newcastle flop was due to
the heavy ground there - personally I don't believe him and the real reason for his Newcastle flop may never come to light.

Tinkler...yes I backed him last time at Newcastle as well  and was very disappointed by his run there
and as you say he  was effectively a non runner from the Off , but i do not think any  intention to cheat was  at the heart of his poor run , more likely imo was following his  stalls upset at York they wanted to give him an easy time  and the very heavy ground was a pretty good excuse not to go for it perhaps understandable in the circumstances ,I had a token saver bet on him today as his form  on  ground with give  ground earlier in the season was very impressive , wished I had put on a bit more ,or a lot more !
