    Firstly, well done to connections for getting Caspian Prince pretty much the same draw, conditions and handicap mark as last year, as he attempts to win this for the umpteenth time.

    One thing that staggers me however is the absence of previous C/D winner El Astronaute. This race is absolutely made for him – he ran well last year – and his recent exploits at York (which is a darn sight more difficult track for front runners) have shown he’s in prime form right now. As is his trainer.

    I was planning a decent ante-post bodge on him months ago but at no stage has he ever even been entered for the race. Wholly bizarre considering the size of the pot.

    Going for the filly EQUIMOU to make a good show in this.
    Was at Newmarket when she ran 4th to Mabbs Cross in the Palace House Stakes with Havana Grey half a length behind her in 5th. She’s risen 5lb in the weights and she’ll need a clear run as she likes to come with a late run but drawn 11 and good EW chances..
    EQUIMOU – EW
    Currently around 18/1

    EQUIMOU for me, I saw her at Newmarket last time out running 4th to Mabbs Cross. She has a 5lb penalty to carry and will need a clear run as she comes with a late finish but she’s definitely in with a good chance to win this. :good: Jac

    Tanasoq is down as my nap today, I took him at 16s and
    I see he’s into 10s now. I hope that’s a good omen.

    Good luck all….don’t blink B-)

    Thanks Nathan and Jac, I’m hoping this can turn into a very good day for me if
    either the Warrior or the Rascal can do the business :good:

    Cheers Steve, let’s hope we are both cheering in 10 minutes, surely the Warrior
    is up to taking this.

    Thanks Nausered and Raymo, Saxon Warrior and Young Rascal were a bit of a disappointment,
    but I topped today off with Aces in the last (in both of my competitions) so I’m more than
    pleased :good:

    Well done BigG – please for ya.

    With Edward Lewis and the Rascal dissappinting, I’m absolutely delighted to come away from the track with a profit today with my three winners (put up in the various comps on here this morning).

    I have a terrible record at Epsom but I found genuinely horse’s off the front went very well over the two days. Something to keep in mind for next year.

    Once again, well played bud.

    Cheers MOM, I clocked you had a treble today in Nathan’s compy, and a nice nap
    with Dash Of Spice. You didn’t have to sweat much with that one, he made it look
    so easy and that was with a burst blood vessel too. He’s one to watch :good:

    Got no interest in this race, been worse than a lottery for me over the years. However, thought I’d better look in as there’d been an abnormal amount of posts for a small race.

    Found the reason. Well done BigG for doing something I’ve never been able to. :good:
    WD MOM 2. :yes:
