Jeff Stelling interviewing Henry Cecil after Shiva had won the Brigadier Gerard in 2000.

I suppose you could look at Cash's last run behind Chindit and say that that form would have got him a place in the Lockinge, a Group One over an inadequate trip.  Maybe tonight's the night. With the doubts you mention about Desert Crown and Hukum then Claymore shouldn't be overlooked at 28/1. He seemed to love the fast ground when winning a Group 3 at Ascot and if he's allowed an uncontested lead would have a chance today.

What expectations do you think Keith Dalgleish has for Chichester?  He'll get a grand petrol money for last place. B365 go 85/1 1/4 odds for the 3 places. At least you'd think he's fully fit and trying although outclassed.

I was trying to work out how he's got his rating of 109.  Probably very few handicap opportunities off that mark.

Chichester that is.

Thanks for posting George

No chance of that is there, they closed on the High street years ago !

^^^^^ still waiting for Big Mart to run round Chelters stark b ollack naked after Coneygree won the 2015 Gold Cup !

I think Desert Crown will not be running if he cannot win this. Otherwise, stallion duty beckons.

Fair point. I'll keep following Cash until he wins one of these ! I'm sure the extra 2F will suit, let's hope it's a great race !

One of Sir Michaels favourite races to win. Won it 11 times since 1982. Not too shoddy. Think it will be 12 tonight

NAILED ON FAV

Double the cash now

desert crown 6 on here for eclipse , should  be evens after tonight

Shocking commentary.

No excuse. Hukum (boxed-in) gave 1st run to Derby winner and still won. I do not think absence made a huge difference.

Wheres that bloody hammer?

Yes - "Desert Crown has BREEZED INTO the Race"

Presumptive know-all.

Shouty put firmly in his  place, poetic.

Listening to the commentary I thought Desert Crown was miles in front... he didn't look to quicken or sustain the run to the line

Looked a bit fat?
Ring rusty?
Needs 12 furlongs

Done everything but win

However Crowley was whipping before the furlong pole and got a head of steam, whereas Kingscote only gave his horse a crack when the winner came upsides.

Great race, HUKUM WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE !

has to be the worst commentator on mainstream tv ever

Not suprised he cocked up the comm, how he gets the gig is beyond belief, useless is too kind a word.

He's absolutely appalling, I loathe his commentaries with a passion.

Commentator needs to change his pitch, same old everytime.
Winner a good horse good return from desert will improve leaps. Keep the faith.

Stick to scratch cards Hal.

You is hopeless

Kingscote did nothing wrong. If anything I thought he rode an astute race stealing a few lengths when Hukum was behind a wall of horses.
