The Royal Hunt Cup is clearly a hugely competitive race, but gives us a chance to try and find a big price winner, so might have found a 50/1 shot (B365, big bigger on Betfair currently) with a squeak...
Von Blucher - was with Gosden last year and ran well all year in big handicaps, mostly as a well backed favourite. Has course form on good to firm ground and 1 mile will be fine. Nothing wrong with a decent come back run for Rebecca Menzies when 5th in a listed race, beaten just over 4 lengths off level weights by horses all around 10lb better on official ratings so was a good effort.
If it was still with Gosden would probably be a 12/1 or 14/1 shot, so can see a bit of value in the 50's on offer. A sporting e/w play I reckon.

GL, haven't looked at the race but I've had a bit of 33s e.w on Hors de Combat, only cos it's in the noebook.

Yeah, Hors de Combat was the other one I liked at a price, has a fair chance for sure....will stick it in the reverse exacta with Von Blucher. GL...

I agree very much with this one, massively overlooked. I don't think the first run for the new trainer was anything great, but forgiving that the last season form gives it a great chance. 50/1 is crazy, you don't need many reasons to back at that price
