Can’t knock BIG ROCK on what he’s achieved this year. Going off at short prices in his previous 2 races has undermined the fact he’s put in 2 very respectable efforts at group 1 level. This ground is gonna be Heeeaaaavvvy and if he gets into a lovely rhythm from the front he could potentially slosh this. 6/1 please.
Tahiyra has been declared whereas at the moment (10 mins before the closing stage) Inspiral is not and Frankie is riding Chaldean now
There has been talk of a change of tactics for Big Rock with him being held up this time. That could go either way – he finds a bit of improvement or he don’t like it and they wish they hadn’t.
Mind games Mike, they’ll go from the front.
If he gets held on to and makes no impression by Jove I will be straight on to social media to express my displeasureTahiyra won’t run if it’s heavy imo.
Honestly, I think she might be a tad overrated anyway. Her form isn’t very strong. Inspiral and Nashwa completely destroyed Meditate and Remarquee whereas Tahiyra was all out to beat them.
Tahiyra completely destroyed Remarquee in the 1000 guineas

Weld has said he is bringing her over and a decision made at the last minute. I can’t see her running myself.
The more I know the less I understand.
What’s the crack with going? I was expecting Paddington to be odds on

Paddington for me he is by far the best horse in the race.
The more I know the less I understand.
Hardly any rain fallen in the last 24hrs so not as bad as feared. Still good to soft soft in places on the jumps course so you will need horses who can handle it and stay further. Paddington ticks the boxes but we shall see. Don’t think it’s desperate enough for a bayside boy outcome.
The QE2 is on the straight course. The reading this morning was 5.6 – heavy is 5.4 and soft is 6.5. So if that is accurate it will be hard work which is probably why Paddington isn’t as bombproof in the market as he may have been.
Checkandchallenge is a horse that I nearly bet in the week, but I held off. I think that he has a great ew chance, and I took 50-1 which I was still happy to take
