    Janika & Siruh Du Lac form is the one to be with here.

    Backed Janika earlier in the week and think he’ll go off fav. SDL is a bit short now, may have him onside if he goes out to 8s+ on the day.

    Kalondra is the other one i like, novice run at Cheltenham beating Coo Star was a very nice run and 148 underrates a couple of his other runs. Neil Mulholland flying also, he’s quite a streaky trainer so catching him during this spell could be useful. Took some 20s about him yesterday.

    Mouse Morris hasn’t lost all faith with Gigginstown and vice-versa, he now pre-trains for them rather than training them under rules. Still be making good euro from the operation.

    Gosden is mentioning sprinting with Calyx probably because that’s what he’s done to date. Coventry winners win Guineas, but lots of them also win Group 1 sprints.

    Ms Parfois & Ballydine the two i like also, 9s and 20s big enough for both.

    Been wanting to follow both all season, especially Ballydine in this who looked to get left behind last time before staying on well so this extra mile will suit.

    Normally a race i leave until on the day but i’ve had to have a starter –

    Wonder Laish 10/1

    Charles has confirmed he’s going this morning and that he’s working well and has a good chance. Won well two runs back and was never put into the race LTO when he drifted and money came for Off You Go.
    Davy will more than likely be on top and this could go off half the price it currently is.

    Second stab –

    Whiskey Sour 16/1

    Off a mark of 144, the yard must think he’s still well handicapped considering they punted him to 9/2F in the galway hurdle last year off 143.
    Ran well in the County when third last year on heavy ground, think this style of race and bit of better ground will suit.
    Willie likes to win this with a horse that’s running fresh, Arctic Fire springs to mind, and think this lad will run well.

    Surprised you’ve said that Mark. I thought he looked too slow for 20/1 shot Chris’ Dream LTO and they have the 5/2 favourite in DW.

    He’s all over a NH Chase horse to me and GE said the same last night.

    GE stated last night that MOL wants Champagne Classic in this and not the NH Chase, so this is looking more likely at this stage.

    Codd is riding Measureofmydreams. Barry O’Neill is riding It’s All Guesswork if he gets in.

    I’ve had some 16s this morning on Any Second Now.

    DOC looking like taking the ride and i liked his staying on effort LTO. Think he’s got the stamina for this from his sire.

    Anthony Bromley shuffled the SM & IS pack, Nicky can only say what he thought was the plan at the time.

    Definitely value in taking everything with a furlong worth of salt and working out which horses the trainers are being coy about.

    Calyx update –

    https://www.racingpost.com/news/latest/calyx-to-be-given-sprint-option-as-gosden-assesses-powerful-classic-hand/369069

    Sounds like there’s more chance of him running than i expected TBH.

    Andrew Mount is especially an interesting listen as ever.

    Eden Du Houx 20/1 NRNB

    Really like his two wins, both from on the pace and he kept going well. Connections won this with Moon Racer previously and think he’ll have been trained to show up well. Not many in behind his listed win have run since but Enrilo (forth) won at the weekend to give it a little substance.

    Third bet, this one was too big to let go at the price (Also not sure Calipto/Up For Review will turn up).

    Minella Rocco 25/1

    152 is the lowest he’s been rated since he won the 4 miler here in 2016, second in the Gold Cup 2017 and had an encouraging run LTO over hurdles. Hurdles preps are a very good angle for winners of this (6 of the last 9), Jonjo also has a good record in it (3 winners in the last 10 years) and at 25s he’s well worth the chance that Jonjo has sweetened him up nicely for this.
