Missed the 5/2 and the 2/1, but decided to bite the bullet. Not my usual type of bet, but I can see him going off favourite. Far more going for him than the current favourite. The form is better, has impressive course form, and despite a very good change of pace, has form on testing ground. Be surprised if bookmakers do any significant boosting on the day. Also presume Barzalona will ride which shouldn't be a disadvantage.
Disappointing news. So much in hand the ride made no difference at Royal Ascot, but outridden by Moore at York, and conceded four lengths in the Arc, and ended up only being able to make up three. Hopefully, he doesn't get too cocky on Saturday. Unless you are the only one travelling, hard to pull a lot of ground back on deep ground.

Make that three no shows. Take a bow Gosden. Doing your bit to help the bookies, as if they need any help. Emily Upjohn on the Vermeille run had a favourites chance in this, and then Danielle was punted on the basis she would love the ground.

No, assuming he got a reasonable ride I think he would have won the Irish Champion a lot easier than Economics did. The ground may blunt that speed, but at least he has some form on the ground.

Economics is almost at a similar price to Calandagan. As such, it's not economic to back Economics given the ground uncertainty. I'll side with Calandagan or Los Angeles. The latter is battle-hardy, and will be ridden with more enterprise than at leopardstown.
