    Lord Glitters looks likely to run here, he has some very decent G1 & G2 form this season, dropping in grade, he will take all the beating.

    The currently available 3/1 is well worth taking.

    I took your advice Pants – cheers. Got 5/2 which looks nice now.

    I like Lord Glitters but it isn’t a race I’d have looked at before the night before at all before I saw your post.

    Cant believe the price of last years winner Mushashry out to 9/2 with various books

    I really like Mustashry too, especially with the stable form in mind (6 wins and 5 seconds from last 20 runners).

    Mustashry 9/2

    Saver: Lord Glitters 15/8

    I contemplated e/w at 9/2 myself but went for a saver on the fav instead just in case Mustashry runs another shocker like he did at Newmarket last backend and also as there’s only 8 so it only needs one more to pull out and we’re down to 2 places.

    I am on THREADING each way at 10/1 in the hope that his York form comes back

    And an interest each way on CHILEAN at 25/1 with the belief that last time was too bad to be true!!

    Mrsraymo has backed the fav LORD GLITTERS at 15/8 so hopefully someone in the house backs the winner!!

    Good luck Guys :good: :good:

    Had to go for Master The World each way here at 40-1, that just looks too big. Hard to see him win, but he might just sneak a place. Smaller ew saver on Chilean at the 25’s.

    Great line up for this.

    Thanks Buckers. He’s a consistent sort, the extra furlong looked to suit him for sure.

    That’s certainly helped the bank account after a testing week!

    Cheers Pants. I would never have got the price without this thread. Brilliant stuff.

    I’ve taken a liking to Lord Glitters this season. Last year I had him as a high grade handicapper but he’s been improving and I have been backing him each-way in big races and picking away with him. He’s so consistent and seems to finish his races strongly.

    I can’t really see him beating Alpha Centauri in the QE II but if she is absent I will feel positive about my 14/1 in the bigger race. Today was a nice start on that journey.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    Well done Pants and co for identifying a value bet that won. :good:

    Beat Mustashry half a length at levels.
    Gave 7 lbs to a three year old and a total of 3 lengths beating to Chief Ironside.
    Master The World was giving the winner 3 lbs and beaten a only a total of 3 1/4 lengths.

    Lord Glitters is a horse I like; deserving credit for fighting out a victory today when not at his best. Genuine as they come but surely needs to improve a lot on that run to win even a poor quality QEII? Why did bookies shorten him up? :unsure:
