    Anything good enough to get Rosallion off the bridle?

    River Tiber will have big distance question mark
    Unquestionable is interesting but yet to run this season and Aidan’s still not running great 1st time up
    Haatem all things being equal isn’t on par with stable companion
    City of Troy is Derby bound
    Igor Stravinsky is likable but this is a huge step up in class
    Diego Velazquez ran well in France but likely to go elsewhere

    the list goes on

    Henry Adams, needs two whip strikes just to get out the stalls these days

    I backed Rosallion antepost 2 weeks ago after Hannon said this was the plan.
    He’s since drifted in the market even with some withdrawals which leads me to believe he’ll be scratched today.

    Not many have priced it up when I looked yesterday

    I’ve back him for the St James Palace stakes, will hold off for now
    I think he’s a good thing if running

    He drifted from 3s to 5s on Unibet last week even after withdrawals so it doesn’t look good.
    I wouldn’t have took the chance if Hannon hadn’t said he was an intended runner.

    Unibet are saying 9/4 when I looked just now

    They must’ve taken it down again. I can’t see either of the 1000/2000 Guineas.

    Unibet have it back up now. Rosallion at 7/4.
    I’m on at 3s.

    The 5/1 a few days ago was a fantastic price but I took that as meaning he was a doubtful runner.

    I think he’s a good thing if on song.

    O’Brien will need more than 6 to stop Rosallion

    River Tiber is rumoured to be the one for it
    Not run beyond 6 furlongs
    not had a run yet this season
    runs like a sprinter
    looks like a sprinter
    had a few issues last season
    Aidan will be a genius if he wins this

    I haven’t access to unibet so didn’t get on at the better prices
    6/4 with Hills is still big enough but I’m going to hold off as Henry Longfellow is still in as a sub according to the odds and I wouldn’t put it past Aidan throwing a fast one
    I do have Rosallion at 5’s and 7/2 for Royal Ascot which could get shorter when winning this unless of course things don’t always work out that way for various reasons. The guineas winner was impressive at Newmarket but had race fitness on his side over Hannon’s horse and could be worth taking on at the price especially on quicker going.

    If Henry Longfellow runs I’d definitely be a lot less confident but he’s a lot more likely for Royal Ascot. I’m hoping that’s the case as I’ve backed him for the St James Palace.

    That’s the most likely scenario

    Aidan seems to have left him in incase the weather turns which would be against River Tiber and also Rosallion
    The forecast looks dry from what I have seen with potential of a bit of rain on Saturday

    Don’t think it would be against river tiber

    He has a proper soft ground action iirc

    Maybe it would make it harder for him to get the trip though

    Rain belt emanating from southwest currently due to hit the Curragh around 3.40 on Saturday ;-)

    Looking nearer to 4pm Saturday now Zilzal
    I’ve played Rosallion at 5/4 last night
    The likelihood is Aidan pulls Henry Longfellow out and the Hannon horse goes odds on
    and if he doesn’t we play again
