I thought this was going to be a Group horse when he won first time out last season. Obviously, something went amiss as he subsequently missed a large chunk of the season. When he returned he was consistently punted, but went up a couple of pounds for not winning. Backed again tomorrow, will the gelding operation work the oracle? Perhaps, but if there was ever any value in finding out, I think it has gone. Personally, I think he could well be better over a stiff seven furlongs. His second over a mile was at Goodwood.

Another placed effort, every chance, but weakened inside the final furlong. Looks as if the operation hasn't produced any obvious improvement. Barely ever an each-way price, so bookmakers will be quite happy.

Another nice collection for the bookmakers today. If he couldn't win this, you do wonder what he could win.

Surely it should have won today? How much ground has it wasted by initially switching then going back again, and then eventually switching back again?

Yet again punters standing for it - this time in a Group 2 - 33/1-16/1. Not sure how that works? Sometimes it hasn't even placed in handicaps, but it can place in a Group 2? It was 16/1 4 places last night, and even that wasn't tempting. Why is it even running?

G2 surely at least a grade too far, could make a better case for G3....even with the trainer in form (not as in form as he was tbf) can't see this winning or even placing. Might have had a £5 e/w at 50/1 but these prices, free money for the books.

Cant possible see how it beats extremely zain for one, let alone 2 or 3 of the others, even if its been below its best, well behind it last time and has to concede 6lb's today

Trainer banging the course drum, but that course form isn't anywhere near good enough. I suppose a slower pace might see him finish off better, but it looks as if they have ran out of ideas.

Flattered, but not enough to land most each-way's. Only finished fourth thanks to a couple of shockers from fancied one's supplied by those bookmaker favourites, Haggas and Balding.
