Normandy Barriere is running off 85 today at Haydock over 6f and I think he is a steal and way above this class. There is six other last-time-out winners in what looks like a competitive field, and there seems to be some interest in Snap Shots because of Tom Dascombe and last-out course performance but he ain’t won for 2 years and has never won over 6f. Give us a break. Ridden again by the now massively in-form William Buick, who is down to his minimum weight. This horse has much more scope than the others and is a shoo-in.
Even with a penalty after today he is very unlikely to get in the Wokingham Stakes Handicap, as you would need to be rated in the late 90’s to get in these days. From what I have already stated on his breeding and given his style of racing; he will get 7f without a doubt, and I bet they have the 7f International Stakes Handicap over the straight course at Ascot in mind for this gelding at the end of July, during the heart of summer, moreover, horses rated 90 and 91 managed to sneak in at the bottom of that handicap in last year’s running because of the usual large-field. His age group has provided easily the biggest representation among the previous winners over the 10 years. It was his 4th birthday only just a few days ago. |

William Buick is obviously not down to minimum. Written in haste.

No, backed him again in the 3:45 at York as he ran well over CD on good ground last year when 2nd to Udododontu, and that horse went on to be beaten a neck by War Envoy in the Britannia Stakes off an 11lb higher mark.
