    DEMOCRACY 16/1

    No Nay Never colt
    Won maiden in which Little Big Bear ran and lost in last year
    Looked a powerful travelling sort and cantered all over the opposition, took a little while to pick up but soon went clear once in full flow

    Yep- looked impressive to me and should improve both for the run and on better ground.

    With you on this one. 👍

    I saw little not to like there in terms of a Royal Ascot assignment.

    It will be interesting to see how River Tiber gets on at Navan tomorrow.
    He was a non runner in Democracy’s race but was the pick of Ryan Moore and early morning fav

    River Tiber didn’t disappoint
    At this stage I’d say he’s more 5f and Democracy 6f but Aidan will know best

    Edit – ignore this, was talking about American Rascal but just seen the Norfolk is the likely Ascot aim

    Has Ward had many runners in the Coventry before?
    American Rascal looks a proper 5f horse and the Coventry tends to be a fast 6f race which lends itself to needing a bit of stamina over the trip

    A huge difference of opinion amongst the layers. Hills go 3/1 favourite but he is 10/1 in the Betfair Sportsbook, which I had to take!

    11/2 in the sports book now. I never realised I had so much influence. ;-)

    Nice move Corky
    It was telling enough that despite Democracy bolting up he didn’t make much of a move in market.
    I’d say River Tiber is the one they like the most
    What price is he for the 5f races.?

    Tip priced 4/1 for Norfolk and 8/1 for Windsor Castle.

    I cannot see him running in the latter. And I reckon American Rascal might put them off the former.

    Today’s race was just over 5.5 furlongs. Dropping back to 5 would obviously not bother him but – to use a modern phrase – he hit the line hard.

    He looks like their Coventry horse to me.

    River tiber Looked to have a bit of a rounded knee action and devoured the soft ground

    Looks a very good royal ascot prospect

    Hopefully get to see how he fares on better ground next time

    I put a fiver on at 11/2 just to cover the Democracy stake
    We’ve seen some very good two year performances already.. need to get a two year old thread up
