    tbh I don’t think there is any draw bias, just where the best pace is – but…

    In the 17 runner Coventry, Winner and third Bradsell and Royal Scotsman (8/1 and 12/1 and split by the 3/1 second fav drawn 12) came from stalls 2 and 1. It certainly wasn’t a disadvantage in the Coventry to be drawn low. If that helps.

    It looks to me like the horse that’s been drawn out of it may be el caballo in 20

    With all the other fancied runners drawn low or middle he might be on the wrong side and is surrounded by rags other than the American horse

    Iv added go bears go at 9/1 to my perfect power ante post bet

    He is proven on firm ground and at the track, he was unlucky at the start last time

    Hopefully soumillon gets the gaps on Perfect Power when he needs them

    Have to say Perfect Power does look rock solid.

    The Carnavan stakes is well represented here, and the first 4 finished pretty close that day. Ehraz was certainly the one that caught the eye with his turbo finish, but at the same time he’s 13/2 in the market and the 3rd and 4th are massive prices.
    As i’ve already said i’d definitely favour PP to be the likeliest winner, but Rizg is very unexposed as a sprinter.
    Saint Maximus the third that day is also a massive price and was having his reappearance. He has form with Lusail which makes him interesting as well. The trainer has been very good in the early days for his training career and i think he could run a big race.

    I’ll split stakes over Rizg and SM. For all i do respect the draw comments above…

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    Much the best considering he was drawn on a wing and the quality pace came down the middle in flotus and flaming rib away from him

    “tbh I don’t think there is any draw bias, just where the best pace is”.

    There is now!

    Had a small very late bet on Perfect Perfection because of it.
    I know, am aftertiming but this week not going to have a good winner without. :rose:

    WD winners who’ve put the bet up before it wins. :good:

    Good to see you took in my words about Perfect Power acting on firm(ish) ground, Mike. :good:

    Ginger it was a close call. Fahey was worried about the firm ground and asked the jockey what he thought. The jockey walked it and there was a bit of moisture on top and told Fahey who then decided to let him take his chance. It worked out alright in the end.

    Told you before Mike, don’t take too much notice of connections words when the evidence suggests something different. :rose:

    The lads made a big booboo not running tenebrism in this. On a line through flotus must have gone very close. I hope they go sprinting with her.

    If you are saying Fahey and Soumillon are both lying that’s fine. I believe their version of events.

    Perfect Perfection won the Norfolk, Middle Park and on race times Greenham all on good-firm.

    …And the horse has an action that suggests he’ll act on it too.

    He was never going to come out on good-firm.
