    I agree with Glad’.
    Taken 40/1+ on the machine about Trueshan. He’s carried a 7 lb penalty on his last two starts so is better than the distance he’s been beaten might suggest… and stays all day. Whereas apart from the fav… Most of his rivals either wouldn’t be sure to act on soft ground and / or stay the extreme trip on Soft.

    It’s The Gold Cup, no need to put Ascot in the title.

    Not sure why Spencer’s not on Caius Chorister. De La Sayette was initially 4/4 on the horse, but that didn’t continue. He is also on a long losing run, and doesn’t have a record of big winners. When you need to find a few pounds hard to believe he is the better choice.

    I’ll have a small interest with Prydwen here.

    Certainly up against it with some of these, but playing for places really. He seems to have never been better, and they’ve never sent him to Royal Ascot before, so just possible they’re really happy with him. I’m not too concerned about the ground for him either, so hoping he can give me a good run.

    Three places only just now, but I’ll maybe even go 365 extra places. I’ll see how it looks Thursday

    Prydwen 66’s EW

    Happy to avoid KYPRIOS, when he won this race 2 years ago he came into it winning the Levmoss by 14 lengths but had to dig in to win by a length this year against a similar level of opposition. COLTRANE deserves a group 1, was runner up last year but has been a bit overlooked in the market at 14/1.

    For me the Gold Cup is the race that always interests me the least but Coltrane is a big price for what he has achieved at Ascot.

    The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

    Vauban should drift like a barge on paddock inspection.

    Hoping for the Kyprios win after what he’s come through.
    Have him in a few accas but too short to back straight for me.

    Ive done Sweet William w/o Kyprios & Gregory also.

    Had a few £ on chaius chorister @25-27s

    Strange race, the best of kyprios wins it, but GF and the way this weeks went im happy to be firmly against him

    I didn’t back anything in this race but, my God, what a tremendous belter of a duel. Race of the meeting for me so far.
