I fancy this Tough As Nails today.

Just got beat by Power last time who obviously went on to win the Coventry and those two pulled well clear. I'm most worried about Lilbourne Lad. Hannon skipped the Coventry with him, presumably with this in mind and Hughesie tipped him up as his hot pot in the Racing Post yesterday. He won that race at Naas well, but not sure the others were so great. Choir is a bit of an unknown quantity and I know O'Brien has won this plenty of times, but has only run once and I think that Tough as Nails has that experience and a good willing attitude. I think the extra furlong won't be a problem. He also seems to have been supported in the market, hopefully reflecting a bit of confidence.

Should run a decent race,but i get the feeling he's an early season type,therefore i dont think theres much improvement left in him,and i think all these tough races he's ran will inevitably catch up on him,i personally think Vault is a massive price at around 12s,won his maiden well enough and with bundles of improvement likely and Colm o'D up i can see him running a big race,he's definitly the Value of the race imo,if Moore was on him he'd be the one that's around the 2/1 mark instead of Choir,
Good Luck

You could be right, but I went to Royal Ascot and saw Power in the parade ring and he looked the nuts there and for me the fact that Tough As Nails gave him such a race beforehand says he's got it in him to take this.

I will have a look at this Vaults run though, thanks for the pointer.

Would be 4/6 if trained by AOB my only worry and no offense to Michael Mulvany has he brought him on enough for this
Report OnTheSnaff • June 26, 2011 2:01 PM BST
No doubt he has the best form in the race,and i agree with jmc27 re if he was trained by o'brien he would be a lot shorter,but this is a Competitive little race,im happy enough throwing a few quid on Vault,hopefully i get a run for my money,
Good Luck Lads

You should be more worried about Choir,ballydoyle see this horse as there best 2 yo colt in the stable,much better than power and the rest,he just took more time to come to hand and the way he won his maiden had class written all over it
