Hopefully be straightforward for him Mike.
Good luck with him Kris. No doubt come the day, I’ll be regretting not taking that 5’s, but I can’t justify two Antepost in this right now, so I’ll miss out.
You won’t learn anything about Logician we didn’t already know from last year (unless he gets beat obviously), 5/1 is a nice price to be on in what probably isn’t going to be a strong race the division is incredibly weak behind Stradivarius but if we get a decent Leger winner and they came here that would change things for me significantly. There is a strong likelihood too if Logician and a Leger winner (or placed horse) came here that horses like Nayef Road would sidestep this for the Cadran over 2M 4F for older horses as it would be more winnable and a Group 1, probably with more prize money.
They shouldn’t be cutting Logician today but knowing how bookmakers react to these type of things they will do. It will be good to have him back and they have plenty of options for him next season be it over staying trips or 12F, assuming he retains his ability of course.
If I was an antepost punter I’d be more inclined to look at the potential Doncaster Cup winner and take a swing at them – somebody like Spanish Mission or Selino who I think looks overpriced in that race but again they’d have the Cadran option which is a Group 1 and that makes this trickier.
I agree Tin Man. They shouldn’t cut, but they will.
The entry speaks volumes to me, and I’ll take that 5-1.
Goshen entered up for a couple of races at Haydock this weekend.
Not convinced we’ll see him, as the ground/forecast looks against him, but it’s good to see that he’s ready to go.
Took a few more quid at 20’s anyway.
Goshen 33’s EW
Goshen 20’sJust a small ew dart in his direction, but after coming last today I would think that is it for him in respect of this contest.
Ring rust or not that’s a real blow. Thought he had any amount in hand. Did you watch the race?

Logician is going to go for a group 3 race, what race I don’t know but that was the headline in the racing posts members area. All his entries are group one races but as we all know they can be entered late. If anybody is a member who can throw some light on this it will help.
Hills have pushed out Logician to 14/1, all the other bookies are between 9/2 and 6/1.
Logician has been entered for the group 3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.
Tread carefully, Gosden has been fairly consistent in saying that targeting a G1 this season was unlikely for Logician.
BUY THE SUN
TTC I wouldn’t back Logician for this race, especially after gosden said he was a 12f horse and only got The leger trip because of fast ground. Nearly died last winter so they are taking it easy hence the group 3 on Saturday.
Enbihaar has been retired. Stradivarius going for the Arc. Logician not running. In view of this I’ve gone Nayef Road 6-1 ew. Will have had a break and ought to be competitive against the remaining field one would think.
Are Hills playing games, they pushed Logician out to 14/1 a couple of days ago and they have brought him back in to 5/1 today. Bet365 and Hills have removed Nayef Road from their markets.
I noticed that a lot of bookies shortened Logician up yesterday, one as low as 3s. I don’t get it.
