Oxagon E/W is my pick with Gstaad if fit being a huge player.

There’s been a thread running where things were open for discussion for some time.
Delashay • March 30, 2026 10:12 AM BST Then we had the switch with Gstaad… Well surprise surprise the substitute ended up getting course experience in the Dewhurst, which if you’ll watch he ran too freely and was reigned back by Soumi (who I don’t think rides the track well) He then stayed on reversing form and looking much bigger than Zavertari who’d beaten him earlier in the year. I expect him to go off Fav and be their sole runner. |

I will take a chance on Alparslan.
He didn't appear to handle Newmarket last year, but that could have been down to immaturity (plus he was keen when surrounded by other horses). He looks to have improved physically and mentally (possibly improved past a few who beat him last year). The trip is a doubt, but I feel he was going away at the line in the Greenham and there is potentially enough stamina on the dam's side. The other concern is whether he'll get taken on by Oxagon for the lead. Worth a nibble at a price though. If not him, Apppleby's. He normally wins the Guineas. |

GL OP. I'm on Alparsan and Avicenna at 38/1 and 36/1 respectively. Hoping at least one them has a good go.

I'm getting the Alhaarth vibes from Bow Echo, a small unbeaten champion 2 year old who didn't train on and won only once more in his career (Dick hern later, Bin Suroor)
I remember last year a few comments on TV about Bow Echo being a great 2 year old but others would improve past him in the winter due to him being on the small side. Distant Storm for me, Appleby says he is best fresh, so lack of a run is a plus |

Going into the Greenham Burke said :
What They Say Karl Burke, trainer of Alparslan “He seems to have gone under the radar a bit. He's had only three runs. On his last run, he was thrown in at the deep end in the Dewhurst and didn't really handle the track at Newmarket and came back a little sore. He's wintered really well and he's working very well with horses who've been winning.” Trainer's view: Karl Burke: "It was a great performance in the Greenham. Everybody said we got the run of the race, but we didn't go out to make the running, you've still got to go from A to B in the quickest time. He'll improve for that run and I'm looking forward to seeing him. He came out of the Dewhurst a little bit sore last year, but it was his third quick run and he's a very sound horse so I'm not overly concerned about the track." |

The Racing Press have made a big deal out of Buick not riding Kings Trail,
Yet they have a second string with Avicenna, who Buick could have ridden surely? |

By:
I don’t see the Needle Match run as being great, yes he has ability but they finished in a bunch and he wasn’t going past Albert at a rate of knots and he’s a nah show here.
Needle Match is as low as 10/1 win a Guineas in his 3rd start, Makfi was 33/1 on the day and the last one to do so. You can now back Kings Trail at a little less and he’s unbeaten going into it with only the two wins. |

Delbert fuming that another poster started his own thread  Question? What rhymes with thread? |
|
By:
And no one is fuming, it’s just not cricket to start a discussion elsewhere when one was created for all.
But this is the I tipped the winner thread I guess and that’s the egos instead of genuine debate. |

Don't think last year's exposed 2yo's were anything special so on that basis it might be worth throwing a dart at an outsider. My pin came down on Thesecretadversary. He isn't the best looker you will ever see, but on the plus side he seems to appreciate quick ground, seems to have a decent attitude, and shapes as if a stiffer test of stamina will suit. Who knows whether he will handle the track, but there are several others in that same boat. Surprised that there are not more bookmakers offering 4 places. There is no obvious winner.

Thank you for your diligent and well researched views, much appreciated. I reckon you could make a few quid on here by laying though, rather than slagging the bookies odds. It’s easy enough to lay the odds, if they’re too short in your opinion. Essentially bookmaking is supply and demand. |
