    Credit swap is a N/R

    Tryst at 16/1 and Greylami 20/1 would be the ones i’d take a look at over this distance. They’re both pretty well treated and i think the 9f might just suit one or both.

    A real moth to a flame race. I’ve backed

    Sirvino

    because Barron (the trainer of Coastal Bluff who ran up a similar sequence), really rates this animal and it has the stamp of a Pipedreamer or a Halling about it. I’ve also backed

    Kaolak

    to cap off John Ryan’s magic season, but my main bet is Braveheart’s

    Tartan Gigha

    at 66/1.

    Drawn on the fence (in the Cap Jaluca box), he has finished

    21

    over 9f on this ground and has received the classic Johnno preparation for this. I.e. tailed off last time out. Apparently, you can make an LSP with this type of horse from this particular yard – as the fortune tellers and psychics who backed Laa Rayb in the Golden Mile will attest.

    Best of luck today, team.

    Was going to have another bet on Wannabe King at 20’s but his price has come in again so didn’t bother. Had my bet on Bencoolen 66/1.

    I was thinking that Marble would point out that it was Moehat who started the Supaseus charge.

    I think we’re all overlooking the fact that Nanton again ran his heart out from a rotten draw; what a superstar..and douginho and I still have our hopes of him running in The Cesarewich [ew double as recommended by douginho…c’mon Nanton!]Oh; trainer says will probably go to Dubai instead..never mind…whats c’mon Nanton in Arabic?

    All £8 of it! Seriously, though, it’s such fun going through these handicap races, but what really makes it is being able to throw ideas around with people on the forum, and get such great advice/information from everyone.

    Poor old Nanton! Had no chance from his draw but still gave it a hell of a go losing by just a length to the winner. It was another big handicap with a farcical draw bias (aka Ayr Gold Cup). the draw of the first 6 home were:

    26) Supaseus
    32) Tartan Gigha
    4) Nanton
    14) Applause
    24) Shavansky
    29) Stevie Thunder

    Also the next horse home from a single figure draw was Alfathaa in 13th (some 12 lengths behind Nanton). Therefore I am claiming a moral victory for Nanton lol!

    Still, like Moe, I got the 33-1 each way! Glad I didn’t end up backing him each way for the autumn double as looks like Dubai is the gameplan!!!

    Given that the horses all went across to the one side there must have been a lot of horses that didn’t get a run at all. I read that the race is usually won by more of a hold up horse, but favoured Supaseus’s jockeys front running tactics on this occasion. Good to see the horse come back from such an unfortunate injury.
