An intriguing group of progressive and unexposed fillies are entered for this one.
I can’t give too much away about my own thoughts because I actually priced this one up for the firm. It felt like an absolute minefield with Irish, British and French coming together and exposed Listed horses meeting handicap graduates and maiden-winning wildcards.
If you could make a list of all the massive rickets in those prices, that would be very helpful
LS I think you are more realistic about the 2 I like for this, Mittens and Enthrall at 7-1 and 8-1.
I have bet Mittens at 12-1 and Enthrall at 20-1
I could easily have another bet in this, but 3 selections may be excessive for a field which may be on the small side. It may make more sense to do forecasts on the day, but I was at Sandown when Dancing Breeze ran and she looked like a filly to keep note of. I do not think she performed at all badly in The Sandringham, and priced up at 16-1 with William hills, I think that is a generous stance.
Do you price up from scratch LS or do you get a set price given and alter….?
I only ask as when looking at oddschecker most firms are always pretty similar whereas if I were to price the race up I’d have the winner Pacos Angel at 2/1……
Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Since we sponsor the big races at Sandown this weekend, we were keen to be the first up there with prices.
…then everyone else copied!
Dancing Breeze at 10/1 for me!! three lengths behind Paco at Ascot and drawn what turned out to be the wrong side.
On paper it may not look a strong renewal but I think this race will work out well and defy people’s expectations.
The favourite looks a solid enough one but I’m sweet on the chances of Pavillon. This will be her first run on turf after 3 runs on the all-weather. She came from a mile back to win a fair enough class 3 handicap at Chelmsford before coming from a similarly distant position to take 3rd in a hot handicap at Wolverhampton. That form is working out nicely and I feel this longer straight will play to her strengths as she really picks up but just needs some initial rousting. To smaller stakes I went in on Queen Of Time, to show a modest profit if she were to prevail. She was mightily impressive at Goodwood and back at a similar course I feel she can turnaround form with the favourite as she was racing on the slowest turf at the Royal Meeting and all on her lonesome.
Pavillon 10/1 (for decent rewards) and Queen Of Time 7/2 (for modest rewards)
