    Vatican City drifted out to 8s. I wonder why that is.

    This should be armory’s ground, expecting a big run, cant see why seamie opted for lopey, surely not the best of aidens? Fort myers at a big price e/w, type to make into a good 3yo on breeding

    Siskins not getting a mile. Daft price, surely goes off 10/3

    If Siskin stays he’s a shoe in but if we knew that he would be odds on. Any one of aidens could be in the shape up but trying to guess whose come forward the most from last year is guesswork. I suspect lope will look great but on bare form armoury seems the bet. One to watch rather than bet on me thinks.

    I really fancied siskin for the commonwealth cup and had him backed at 22/1 for it

    I’d like him to win today but wont be backing him

    And dont fancy playing obrein bingo so will be a watching brief

    Hoping to see a nice race from Vatican city looking at his sensational breeding, but surely a big ask stepping up from a dundalk maiden to a classic to think he will win

    I have done Monarch Of Egypt ew at 28/1. He was highly thought of but disappointed towards end of season and has a bad draw to overcome so can’t be overly confident. Should improve as a 3yo and for this trip though and in a race that looks wide open I have chanced him at the odds.

    Monarch of Egypt worth following again after that , got a horrible path but was going well. Well done Siskin!

    As we all suspected

    If siskin stays he wins easily

    He stayed and won like a 1/2 shot

    Was a kingman esque turn of foot

    Not sure he beat much but he beat them easily despite the obrein team tactics

    Wow very good, I thought there were doubts about him staying the mile, but he is a serious miler

    Well done Siskin backers :good:

    Didn’t have a bean on the race but I was hopping and shouting when he pulled round into daylight! Well done Siskin!!
    Lovely interview on RTE with Ger Lyons beforehand too, really pleased for his yard

    I didnt suspect it FF, wasnt obvious atall….. but it was Fantastic stuff, could not see him staying the mile atall, worth more than it looked, getting out of the obrien wall powerfully,

    That was a strong field FF dont know how you can think he didnt beat much,

    Few interesting derby runners in there particularly vatican city. armory definitely needs a trip

    Really impressed with that, hes convinced me alright! Another one i wont be backing antepost though, hes a handful getting into the stalls!

    Wd winners

    I must be in the minority then thinking Vatican might turn out better than Siskin in time. ;-)
