    WALDKONIG at 3’s with Hills for me especially after getting a recent run under his belt lately
    plenty of contenders for this

    Id be interested in Al Zaraqaan if he was to turn up

    Looks very progressive easily brushing aside Almighwar in his last race who franked that form at the weekend

    A half brother to Awtaad by Golden Horn no reason to think hes done improving

    Not the most imaginative choice, but Waldkonig looked a Group horse in waiting at Pontefract and the form has been franked by the third.

    Couldn’t bet the race at all, but Hukum is no mug and has good record fresh. Will watch it just.

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    Waldkonig has been a fairly dissapointing horse so far given his breeding and happy to take him on at the prices

    Hukum has the best form in the book, albeit over further, and is my bet at the prices

    Hukum 4/1

    Highest Ground for me 2/1

    Was a big fan last year , needs decent ground and got high hopes for him this season

    Can’t find a bet in this race not sure why highest ground is so short?
    Most look like they want give underfoot to show their best. Not much pace on? Extra elusive has took on the running before and could suprise. A definite No bet for me. The older boy desert encounter interests me back on good ground. Call me crazy but he’d be my bet at 50/1 or bigger I don’t think the 4 year olds in this are up to much. Definitely wouldn’t be taking the field on at short odds on any of them

    Was expecting crowley to be very prominent on hukum

    Instead he holds him up and tries to ride him for a turn of foot

    He travelled well but didn’t have the speed to go with them in what was a slowly run race.

    Winner did it well in the end

    Not entirely sure it was a very strong race.

    Final furlong that’s the problem we can only assume the horse will be ran how it normally has before and hukum is clearly best suited to being held up. As I said these 4 year olds weren’t upto much and desert encounter although slow away and held up in a steady race ran on for second at over 50/1 I was literally going to say Waldkonig is now the best bet when he hit 5.20 on betfair before shortening up but I missed it.
