There must be mass defections afoot in the Champagne Stakes, because William Haggas’ Rivet is evens and slightly odds on across the board.
That must mean Mehmas, Boynton, and Capri are going elsewhere.
That leaves this race pretty devoid and it’s been a week to avoid the ante-post with some many defectors.
Sadly I got burned with Sea Of Grace though.
Disappointing but obviously good for those who backed Rivet early doors. Still has to win though and I may take him on at the prices.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Only six declared for this.
Could see Rivet starting something like 4/6. Think it looked impressive last time and does well on the stats but objectively you cannot back it at that price. Thunder snow for example is 14 pounds clear of it on racing post ratings.
Be interesting to see how the betting market shapes up.
Btw Steve where did you find the ante-post market for the champagne? Didn’t realize there was one.

The first betting I put up came from the Paddy Power website but Oddschecker eventually had a list of bookmakers odds.
One of the toytown firms was still showing 3/1 on Rivet when all across the board it was no bigger than evens.
Oddschecker still have the original betting up for the Champagne Stakes, they were showing both versions last night. They really are shambolic at times.
I won’t take Rivet at the odds but I don’t fancy any of the others. A good win by Hydroxide today may see D’Bai fans encouraged for the Godolphin horse who narrowly bested that one.
I am looking for a good show from Hydroxide today, I see The Anvil as plenty skinny enough based on what he has done and the Gosden horse’s form looks nothing startling.
As a former Chemical Analyst, I have to go with Hydroxide at 5/2. The Anvil seems weak early doors today.

A bit gutted my horse isn’t running but that’s the chance you take and I think 12/1 was worth a go

I know this sounds like after timing but I have backed Majeste at 1/4 odds 3 places 12/1 !!
I only did it cos I seem to remember Hannon was going to run it in a good race at Goodwood I think but it scoped badly and I thought maybe he considered it decidedly useful!!
And the trainer has won this a few times in the last few years too!!
Rivet looked promising in the Moorstyle, but needs to improve quite a bit to beat an on song Thunder Snow. What price would War Decree be in here? That said, Haggas is in great form where as SBS is coming back from a virus so Rivet is the most likely to run to form. I’ve backed TS with half a saver on R. Plus a speculative 16/1 Tommy Taylor who may have more improvement in him.
