The 1st, 2nd and 4th in the Irish 2000G ie Pheonix Of Spain (7/4), Too Darn Hot (3/1) and Skardu (10/1) are in contention. Also in the fray are the promising King Of Comedy (6/1, Gosden); Shaman (10/1, 2nd to Persian King in France); Circus Maximus (14/1, 6th at Epsom) and supplemented by Coolmore, and a few others.
Will Pheonix Of Spain confirm his superiority over Too Darn Hot (Dettori) and Skardu? Or will King Of Comedy surprise?
Gosden has stated TDH is the worst managed horse of the year, and he's the happiest he's been all year with TDH.
I cannot agree more. To go up-in-trip for the Dante having missed the 2000G was a big boo-boo as he ought to have gone straight to the Irish 2000G, i believe. And, I still retain my faith in TDH; my money is on him against Pheonix Of Spain.

There has been sustained support for TDH in the last few days; he's into 5/2 from 4/1. The question is could he go off shorter than PoS? If one believes his last two defeats were down to below par level of well-being and mismanagement by connections 5/2 could still represent value, I firmly believe, as he'd be long odds-on against PoS on 2 yr old form.
However, I'd accept he's not grown as much as the others of his age group since last season. But, I take consolation on Gosden's latest remark about him.

impossible123 14 Jun 19 09:41 Good or Good to Soft will not hinder either TDH or PoS. And, I'm expecting a decisive win from ether. Bring it on!
Even by your God awful standards this is a doozy of a post.

The Racing Post Trophy has provided the winner of the English Guineas, The Irish Guineas and now the St James Palace. Usually this race is a pointer for the Derby but not this year.
