    Ombudsman must be hard to beat here, but I’ve taken a chance on Wimbledon Hawkeye to chase him home at 20-1 ew

    Nice race, and I think that Almeric could run well too

    Are one or two of Applebys pacemakers ? Rather than sending one from France again .
    I cannot see Ombudsman beaten , although I was on course the year Bosra Sha was beaten in this , Iam sure she was pretty short , was a few years back now .
    Always a good meeting .

    Bosra Sham won the race in 1997, the only year she ran in it. She started at 1-5 that day.

    Was there in 87 when Mtoto won, got me thinking(so that’s a result😀) I wonder how good trainer Alec Stewart could have become :rose:

    Loved Mtoto Nick ❤️ such a shame he was beaten in the Arc by Tony Bin..don’t think I’ve ever got over that one.

    Going for stablemate
    Arabian Light 16/1 EW to spring a surprise.
    I’m thinking about the extra weight Ombudsnan has to carry and the fact he may need the race prior to Ascot.
    Ryan Moore has won this race 7 times and with the steep uphill finish Arabian Light may well be hard to pass if he has decided to take up the lead.
    Ombudsman has a terrific turn of foot but was caught out by a front runner in Almeric last year.
    Going to be an interesting race and just opting for a bit of EW value. :rose: good luck Jac :rose:

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

    Helcat, you surely mean the Eclipse over the same CD a few weeks later where she managed only third.

    I think i got confused by that Eclipse few weeks later .
    I do remember there was a open age maiden race on card and Hubbard had a rare flat runner .
    I recall the evening as it was a rare occasion i dragged my wife round the M25 to the races .
    Was at the Eclipse Mtoto won with Reference Point in field , my Dad nearly fainted at the entrance fee , he only stopped moaning after few races in , on and on he went .
