Going to have a fair bet on Albaflora in this tomorrow. Around 11/1 with most firms. 2nd at Ascot franked the form at York the other day, and I’d be perfectly willing to swerve Aidan’s duo. Al Aasy too short after winning a boat race at Newbury.
I think this Al Aasy might well be an absolute machine. Will be watching this with great interest but no financial interest.

Al aasy is far too short on first look
But Japan and mogul are yaks that cant be trusted
And pyledriver is a fruitcake
Very much a no bet race for me
I chanced Highland Chief at 40/1 3 places when Skybet was the only firm
going 3 places a few days back (in ante post thread). There’s not much between him
and Mogul on their 3 races, beaten 3/4L after they bumped in the Gordon Stakes, 1/2L
ahead of him in the Great Voltegeur and in the Grand Prix De Paris, which Mogul won,
Peslier had him way out the back turning for home and he finished best of all running
into 6th. Highland Avenue is 50/1 whilst Mogul is 11/2. I think his chances are better
than the odds suggest. I’ll be happy if he runs into 3rd.Highland Chief 40/1 3 places
Al Aasy out to 7/4. Thats too big, think he will absolutely hack up against these nutcases.

I’m a sucker for these stong travelling bridle horses. I’ll never learn. Well done to Pyledriver, backers, and connections.

Think he is a flat version of Harchibald Mike. He is very good, but however quick he is doing on the bit, is as quick as he will go. I’d imagine Jimbo will be trying to wait until the last half furlong next time.
Good performance by the front two. The Coolmore pair are squiggle horses.

Love Pyledriver..
He’s got so much ability but very quirkyGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Indeed. I was ready to criticise Dwyer for that big move turning in tbh. He’s made me look a mug, fair play to him and the horse. Fully deserved Group 1 win.

Crowley stopped riding to straighten the horse which wouldn’t have happened on a conventional course TTC. He’d win a neck/half a length and job done.
Looked to me that Pyledriver really relished the scrap. As Al-Aasy came alongside he gave him the eyeball as if to say “Come on what you got?”.
Both deserve credit in a cracking contest between two genuine Group 1 performers.
Its very possible those two are as good as it gets over 12f this season. As others have said, great finish with the two pulling nicely clear.
