bit of rain came today so no excuses for forgotten rules?
Would you not be concerned by running him just 10 days after a tough race in the Ascot GC?
You would imagine the cautious/generally excellent Weld wouldn't risk him if he didn't think he was right though.
Although Weld won the handicap yesterday,Tested and Sparkle factor's runs yesterday were deplorable. They ran like they weren't right rather being kept for Galway imo.
Forgotten rules is the obvious class horse but 18lbs is a lot of weight to be giving to two unexposed Ballydoyle 3 year olds.
I wouldn't be rushing to back FR at 1.74 and have had a significant interest in Bondi Beach in first time tongue strap at decent prices to recoup the Leopardstown losses under the dynamic Emmet McNamara.
