PASSANGER 9/2 Paddy power
This lightly raced 4yo from Stoute yard end season with win at Windsor and type of horse
Stoute do well with.Good price Darren, I took the 3’s which is best price now. Perfect ground for him, plenty to like about his last race as the runner up was a close 2nd in an Aussie group 1 next time. Stoutey is 0-7 from last 2 weeks but a fair few of them have been running well.
Im a big fan of Israr, and I expect him to be very close. I’ve bet two selections in each of the later races though, and don’t want to do that here, so I’m going with the one that I like at a bigger price with Regal Reality 12-1 ew
A punt on Channon’s Certain Lad 12s.
Looks a very competitive race, so only a small wager because i just have to.
Best of luck to all
Am on Passenger too, as he’s probably a Group 1 horse in the making.
Israr could be a Group 1 horse if he wanted to be, but doesn’t. Hence the blinkers.If those two don’t perform then the fav’s stable companion Regal Reality is getting on in years but was as good as ever last year. Albeit doesn’t win very often. Might need the run but at the price is worth chancing.
Want to be against Royal Rhyme on this ground.
Hans Anderson’s form isn’t – or at least not yet – up to this level. I’d oppose him at the bookies 7/1 but 11/1 exchange price may be worth a saver as he’s an AOB that has had a run this season.
Johnny Murtagh is in good form but can’t see Mashhor being good enough. Same for Channon / Certain Lad.
Sunchart seemed to run a pb on reappearance, but much more is needed here and that was on vastly different ground. If he wasn’t Irish could see him being a non-runner.
Don’t understand why Oviedo is so big in the market. Progressive in handicaps last season. Culminating in being beaten only just over a length in the Cambridgshire as a 3 year old off 9st 3lbs. If improving just 5 lbs would have a great chance here. Fitness might be an issue first time out, but Bethell is in very good form.Have backed Passenger 5/2, Oviedo 14/1 and Regal reality 16/1.
My 100% Book:
2/1 Passenger
9/2 Israr
9/1 Hans Anderson
9/1 Oviedo
10/1 Royal Rhyme
10/1 Regal Reality
16/1 Mashhor
22/1 Certain Lad
100/1 SunchartValue Is EverythingHans Anderson at 7-1 for me, I think he was reasonably well thought of before the wheels came off last year. He took his time to get past the leader on reappearance run, but I think Moore was trying to win without giving him a hard time and he should have come on a lot. Physically he looks quite well developed and should appreciate the ground.
Moore is serving one day of a two day suspension he was given for careless riding at Sandown two weeks ago. I’ve no idea what the rules are these days that allow him to choose the days when he doesn’t ride.
“An enquiry was held to consider interference approaching 2 furlongs out involving ENDOSSER (USA), unplaced, ridden by Ryan Moore, the winner, GOODWOOD ODYSSEY, ridden by Kieran Shoemark, and MONSIEUR MELEE, placed fifth, ridden by Oisin Murphy. Daniel Tudhope, the rider of PREPSCHOOL (IRE), placed third, was also interviewed but deemed not to be involved. Moore was suspended for 2 days for careless riding as he allowed his mount to drift right-handed when insufficiently clear causing Shoemark to take a check and Murphy to be briefly tightened for room on the running rail.”
Easy winner, in course record time.
Passenger is a Group 1 horse.
Value Is EverythingAs long as the ground stays on the better side. Maturity and class could change that angle but would need some proof of that.
9/1 with Ladbrokes up for grabs Prince Of Wales Ascot. Tempting.Excellent early call Darren
And well done to botchy on the big ante post prices for the Prince of Wales and eclipse
He now looks the main challenger to King of Steel to me
Passenger won very well so happy with him
All 3 of my ante post bets deliver at Chester
Point Lonsdale 5/1
Capulet 11/2
And this horseReminds me a lot of his old man who was one of my favourite horses of recent years and he preferred top of the ground too but he posted some very respectable efforts on softer ground too over 12F which probably stretched him, placed in a King George and an Arc. Much like his dad Passenger really seems to have grown up as a 4yo and the division is there for the taking I’d not be afraid of King Of Steel but then who knows what will emerge from the various Derbies. I need to go back and watch Ulysses cantering all over the Juddmonte International field (I think) again now I’ve wrote that.
