    I’d be interested to see how Ginge has this race priced up. Soft ground makes a big difference to my prices.

    My prices to beat as follows to 100%

    6/4 New Approach
    7/4 Duke Of Marmalade
    15/2 Multidimensional
    20 King Of Rome
    50 Mores Wells
    50 Red Rock Canyon
    66 Lord Admiral
    100 She’s Our Mark
    150 Traffic Guard

    Multidimensional looks cracking value at over 15/1 on betfair.

    Crazy going ons with the Multidimensional price.

    Stan James go 16/1 which seems to be the best of the bunch. All others go 14/1. Ladbrokes go almost half of everyone else at 9/1!

    I’ve had a nibble on Multidimensional at 16/1 EW and think that’ll come in

    Can’t see racing going ahead in Leopardstown tomorrow, torrential rain since 10pm this evening in Dublin.

    Mores Wells appeals at a nice price granted racing goes ahead on bottomless ground.

    The horse is in good heart and could well captalise on any bellow par performances for whatever the reason ( ground with DOM, age with NA! )

    I like she’s our Mark, she loves soft ground.

    If back to his best NA will saunter away with this so value looks in finding an ew bet. Mores Wells who likes the track and ground & Multidimensional who also goes on the ground appeal most.

    Now it’s the case of New Approach and Kevin Manning not exactly competing with any opponent on their target. Now it becomes the case of New Approach’s biggest danger being … New Approach.

    And the record is 0-1.

    You’d be hard pressed not to rate New Approach at odds-on but the 4/7 is worthless IMO. He has to win this by upwards of 4-5 lengths and possibly more to prove what is expected and anticipated of him.

    I’m surprised I cannot see any of the Red Rock Canyon followers out tooting their horns today. It’s a good day to be alive methinks – I don’t necessarily expect him to run a tempo for King Of Rome and his form in softer conditions is very good.

    He’s 66/1 at Ladbrokes and an E-W ticket will suffice.

    25-1 on Paddy Power now! Makes you think that someone knows he’s going to be racing today.

    Interesting place chance

    I’ve avoided NA in this now.

    Multidimensional EW for me

    Perfection there from NA. Slotted in perfectly, didnt fight for the head and Manning rode superbly.

    RRC looked like a proper Grp1 horse coming off the bend there and I really hope AOB runs RRC in a strongly run mile in group company before the year is out.

    Multidimensional ran on well but may have needed slightly heavier ground to show the best here.

    Haha you know what I mean, for New Approach that was a very good run.

    Not talking through my pocket either as 8/13 was unbackable for me.

    I would venture that was one of his worst efforts of the season despite the win. Was still keen today, and for a moment looked like he might run off when Manning gave him his head after just a furlong.

    All out to beat some average types….in no way could I describe it as "perfection".
