    I will believe Steinbeck runs when I see it. Today no Ballydoyle runners in France. In the past they used to support all the French classic races.

    Wouldn’t really fancy any of those to win, Wallace.

    Fencing Master would be my fancy. He didn’t look anywhere near ready to run at Newmarket.

    Running plans might well be ‘reviled’ if Steinbeck doesn’t turn-up!
    Couldn’t have him at that price at this stage … my guess is that if he runs it will be ‘with a view to Ascot’ as O’Brien keeps saying and that Murtagh will ride Fencing Master.
    It should be priced-up this afternoon and it will be interesting to see what way it goes.
    They got it badly wrong with 3/1 Mastercraftsman last year.

    Am I the only one who can’t see past Steinbeck?

    No you are not. If that is any consolation. The trouble is that some including myself fear that Steinbeck may not run. No reports of his wellbeing recently.I wonder if things are not just right with him.If he is up to snuff he should win.

    Actually I think Viscount Nelson would be my pick.

    I have been looking forward to seeing Steinbeck run all winter, but I think he is SEVERLY underpriced at 11/4. For a horse that has only ran twice in its life, coming from a stable whose horses are desperately requiring their first run at the moment, I would have thought there would be a bit of value about the horse?

    In saying that however, he doesn’t have too much to beat in my opinion. I still do not see Canford Cliffs as a top class miler at present and I believe he will not see out a true hard mile. Xtension ran quite poor in the guineas to what I expected and the other main contenders are Steinbeck’s stablemates.

    How did Xtension run poorly – He was a good fourth and he proabaly needed the run.

    Totally agree with you there, but I just cannot see Canford Cliffs not being right there and his form looks really strong.

    If Steinbeck needs the run, Canford Cliffs will be right there.

    Stiff mile at the Curragh, I like Noll Wallop, looked mighty impressive winning at Leopardstown in the trial.

    Is it a straight mile or do they go round a bend? Is Noll Wallop perhaps bred for longer distances? He did look impressive in that race, though. Love the name. Anyone fancy Fighting Brave?

    When the grd is soft or heavy they tend to run it on the straight course if its good or faster they tend to use the round course
