    I think there’s a realisation in the market that Laurens has more improvement to make, may not get her own way up front. And although has managed to find a little bit more off the bridle in most of her victories… Last time out was probably her best performance yet, but was only just holding on against Happily. So may be Laurens has now found her level? Only a head between the pair, so on pure form Laurens is the same horse as Happily… And where as Laurens is yet to prove herself on soft/heavy, Happily IS proven on soft and produced a career best last time out (could still have more improvment in her). Laurens was around 5/1 and Happily 16/1. Laurens exceptional temperament and consistency can only make up a bit of that difference.

    Laurens was too short and Happily too big.

    Thanks to my mate Nausered (You Da man) I have just had some more on ADDEYBB at 7/1 and CENTURY DREAM both each way at 7/1 and 25/1 each way four places!!

    Think Addeybb is nailed on for the frame and a good pace will suit!!

    Good luck mate, I hope your good luck continues. I’ve also topped up one bet for tomorrow on the Cracksman/Roaring Lion double, and added a treble with those two and Stradivarius. I can see a golden day for Gosden tomorrow myself.

    I’ve gone for Happily here at 10s, but I couldn’t resist an E/W on
    Hey Gaman at 100/1, I always expected more of him. He only lost the
    Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains by a neck. He’s been a bit disappointing since, although
    his 3rd in a Group 2 at Longchamp after a break should maybe put him right. He’s been aimed
    high, so he’s obviously well thought of and I think that his odds are way to big. Generally 80s now.

    Cancel that 80s, I’ve just checked and Hey Gaman is down to 40s.

    Great call with Century Dream Raymo, I thought you had it a furlong out. He’s a good horse RL, he did not like that ground as I thought he might. But he found a way to win. Murphy is pretty much top boy right now.

    Thanks Naus :good: Well done all of you on the Lion (including the missus) I just wish Century had held on for second forecast would have paid sixty quid !!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

    P.S. I told you I knew NADA!! LOL
    But I am still convinced Johhny G didn’t want to run him but the owners thought otherwise for obvious reasons!!

    Yes, great to see Roaring Lion win with our 7/2, Jack.
    Although in truth, with so many of the others disappointing he didn’t need to be at his best to win.
    Race can be confidently rated around the ultra-consistent Stormy Antarctic.

    WD winners, good on the horse for being genuine enough to pull his feet out of the ground and go on and win.

    What a great horse Roaring Lion is. I doubted him over the mile and although the opposition wasn’t the strongest he’s still had to win and he did.
    Is that it for the season or did they say anything about America…?

    Sounded to me the BC is only a possibility for Roaring Lion at the moment. Only two weeks to the BC this year and not much time to recover from a hard race on soft ground.
