    I have backed Pyledriver in both runs this season and can’t see any reason to desert him here.
    Beat Mogul fair and square and looks progressive. Guaranteed stayer and if he was trained by one of the top trainers would be no bigger than 5/1 for this.
    Pleased to get 20/1 4 places with ladbrokes boost and am expecting a huge run. Forms in the book and the horse to beat.

    That’s a good post Running Rein.

    I’m hoping that Mogul can turn out to be very good, but that draw will make things tough. He’s the one horse in this very average looking field who I think could go onto bigger things.

    I’ve also bet Russian Emperor

    Happy enough with my ante post on Vatican city at 16s, even though he
    seems a bit on the slide in the market. I think that’s as much to do with jockey
    bookings as anything else. I’m more than happy that Padraig Beggy is on him, he
    knows the horse well and has won a Derby. I think he’ll ride a similar race to
    that of Wings Of Eagles and come on the scene late.

    I also think that Khalifa Sat at 50/1 is well worth a punt E/W 4 places.
    He’s one that I’m pretty sure will get the trip and may in fact improve for it. He
    led all the way in the Cocked Hat at Goodwood, the same race that Troy won before
    going on to take the Derby, and held off a strong challenge of Emissary. I’ll settle
    for those 2.

    though last race set a course record so probably not on the soft side

    Mogul is now a backable price. If he has progressed the way we are hearing, I now think he might win. Vatican City is puzzingly long priced. Not guaranteed to stay, but the family suggests he might.

    Very open race though.

    I hope English King doesn’t win, purely because I don’t like to see a jocking off rewarded.

    Emissary looks so well and with so many doubts about staying, maybe he could finish in a place.

    Had Serpentine along with a battery of others. Those who left him off though clearly were not watching the curragh last week. He had serious form.

    An absolute joke. Plenty of jockeys left their brains in the weighing room.

    Definitely wasnt the pacemaker hein, the irish named one was, he had the tactical speed turning the corner and whoosh he went,

    The race was a farce from 2nd back

    But the winner would have won regardless

    English king/mogul in the leger are worth looking at, there boats

    The jockeys in second and third need shooting

    They were leading the main pack and have fallen asleep turning for home

    Exactly like last years Irish Derby

    Races like this are why I don’t bet big

    English King would’ve come second but frankie gave him an easy time I think

    I’d be annoyed if I’d backed him as he’d likely have won
