    Fortunately I managed to take the 16s offered about Marsha at the start of the season and to be honest I think she’ll prove hard to beet if she turns up in A+ condition.

    SkyBet have priced up Cotai Glory (last year’s runner-up) at 33/1 which may be over-generous given he was very unfortunate in the Palace House and the trainer believes he’s better than ever.

    Yes, I even think Marsha is the fastest 5f horse on the planet.
    As always she needs to come from the rear, so it all depends on the sniper to find the right gaps for her..

    Backed Signs of Blessing to win this @ 25’s & 14’s yesterday. He just does not stay 6F but the way he won yesterday giving 11 lbs to Profitable suggests he will by vying to be Europes Top 5F horse this year.

    This race was confirmed as the target after the race, and if running is the one the all have to get past.

    Tried to get on with Betbright this morning at 25’s but bets were declined :negative:

    The ground has to be the big worry for Signs Of Blessing; he’s a much better horse when racing on a softer surface and you’d have to say it’s unlikely to be a soft ground Royal meeting 2 years running. If the heaven’s opened on the day I would lump on but that’s a really significant ‘if’.

    Acapulco fans however, will surely be hoping for completely different conditions and after that win today she’s shortened to as short as 3/1 with StanJames – but come on, that’s a mighty overreaction.

    3 fillies now at the head of the market.

    I think he is a better horse on Good ground myself Charles, but yes fast ground would be a big concern.

    I would love to see him win a big one this year. A write up below of yesterdays race

    The Lady’s brisk pace will be ideal for Marsha..

    Youd be interested to know how Wesley ranks Lady Aurelia and Acapulco’s chances, on the basis that they are set to both head to this race, the latter now in the care of AOB.

    Lady Aurelia is the quickest thing I’ve ever seen over 5f.

    She, on fastish ground, will break the track record

    ..she’s the fastest until Marsha overtakes her.

    Lady Aurelia is faster going at a canter.

    I think on a good day Marsha takes this, as I am not sure of that, I rather side with Profitable @15 who I am sure will run his race and get at least a place.

    Charles and hein with you 100 per cent on MARSHA. :good: :good:

    I was at Newmarket on 2000 Guineas day when she won the Palace House Stakes and she looked a million dollars in the paddock, outstanding..and yet.. nobody on ITV racing picked her out, Francesca was scouting around the paddock and never gave her a mention, it was all about Washington DC.

    Sir Mark Prescott and the Elite Racing Club have a real live contender on their hands to take this race. She lumped home 9:7 that day and will feel let lose in the Kings Stand with just 9:1 to carry. Muthmir has improved no end since running virtually last in the same race and could be the one to take her on, if any, because his run in that was beyond bad and he proved that by hacking up at Chantilly yesterday.

    I wish I had rushed off to take her early price on Marsha but will settle with around 5/1 generally available, she will need a clear passage to come with a flying finish but she will find no problems once she gets her head in front.

    This filly will put the smile back on your face hein :yes: she is the best in this by far.
