I don’t normally like betting in sprints as they seem so random, but Muthmir in the kings stand just looks such an obvious bet.
Haggas normally has a winner at the Royal meeting and this scopey horse with an electric turn of speed just looks like a Royal Ascot winner in waiting.
Sole Power is of course on for a hat trick in this race, but if any year he’s going to be vulnerable I think it’s this year, he’s eight which is quite old for a sprinter and he’s facing a very serious young rival in Muthmir. There’s also some rain around which might take the sting out of the ground, when Sole Power loves it rattingly fast.
Reading between the lines I get the impression that the Aussie challenge in the sprints isn’t as good this year as they have been in recent Royal Ascots.Brazen Beau is obviously a very good horse but most of his best form is over six furlongs.
Ok the draw will also be an issue, but if you watch Muthmir win at York at the end of last year he showed a fantastic burst of speed to extricate himself from a terrible position, I think he’s capable of winning from any draw.
Basically everything points to Muthmir being the first day banker of the meeting
Sorry that should have read “if you watch Muthmir win at Doncaster at the end of last year” Although he also won at York.
Gutted Muthmir did not win. Had he settled early would’ve won with plenty in hand.
Value Is EverythingNot gutted Goldream won. Just gutted I didn’t back him and didn’t put him in Nathan’s comp
Didn’t back Muthmir but would have liked to see a stronger finish ridden on him in the closing stages.

Don’t think there was anything wrong with Paul’s finish tbh. Although anything compared to Moreira on the runner-up would look weak; seemed a win at all costs ride

Unfortunately, more often than not that’s what you are likely to get. I get the impression backers are forever expecting this horse to suddenly find an extra three or four lengths. I doubt it is going to happen and for now he remains bookmaker friendly.

It does not show up on the RUK coverage Stilvi, on C4 you could see Muthmir too free and Hanagan needing to take a strong yank back in the first furlong to get him settled; giving away a few lengths plus the wasted energy. I know lengths lost in the early stages can not be directly related to the finish of a race… But when the run of things do go Muthmir’s way I expect a much improved performance. True, it is two out of three races this season the horse has managed to balls up, but unless there’s a three year old rival – I’d be surprised if Muthmir is not favourite for the Nunthorpe when betting opens. A speedy 5f track on a firm surface will suit him down to the ground too.
