He's had a lot of winners the last few weeks.

I would say he has had alot of runners mind. So not sure he's in top form yet. But Olympiad has been specifically targeted at this race, which is more than you can say for a few.

Theology for me!

fair point judorick

but do you know 'technically' Theology has only ran in one turf handicap,two were listed h'cap's and the other was the queens prize on the a/w

yeah i know nit picking.lol

I'm willing to forgive Theology at the prices since he's not been beaten far a couple of times off much higher marks than this and has Chester Form. His comeback run was encouraging enough given the long lay off. Obviously I'll be hoping he improves from that run but has chances if he does. As SJ says he hasn't ran in many handicaps to buck that trend yet.

did you know Simenon achieved that feat at ascot last season?

YES sj there are exceptions and you are all welcome to continue backing horses in the hope they are an exception but I suggest you pay attention and see how many actually win over a season if you don't currently

i am not saying to back them (if you read my posts) but you cannot just put a line through them because they have not won a handicap by the age of 5,all horses are different(imo)

to to start spouting that i should pay attention(as if i am a silly school child is quite funny) i was was polite and merely trying to help.

Anyway good luck and hope you back many winners

Unoriginal but i've backed the favourite CWF. If he is not too knackered from his hurlding campaign he shouldn't be out the first 4 here, won at the track and decent draw.

Personally think he kicked a little too early which ultimately cost him 4th place.
