grey dolphin…..Agreed re Chapoturgeon and for a different reason (although I agree re distance) and I’d put a line straight through Cloudy Lane on form, not good enought but also as their jockeys just aren’t experienced enough to win a race like this, ditto Monkerty Tunkerty although he looks a decent recruit.
I feel Salsify might suffer for the same reason although he’s also too inconsistent for my liking and I don’t think his fencing will hold up for 26 furlongs.
Also those riders with an allowance can’t claim it in The Foxhunters
This years race is going to be run at a breakneck pace which will suit the top riders with a built in clock, Mark Wall, JT, Robbie Mac, Nina, Katie Walsh et al
