    Was really hoping Tactical was going to be declared so happy to see him declared with James Doyle on his back

    Was a massive eye catcher behind Eye Of Heaven when meeting trouble in running in the final furlong

    He looked as though he was going to get very close to the winner maybe even beat him

    No prices as of yet, but will have a bet this afternoon

    I too noted Tactical but was hoping he may go up to 6 furlongs, Balding is in hot form and its bound to be a strong pace so can see him finishing well.
    Was 10/1 when I checked just now

    The I like is Chief Little Hawk who showed good early pace.
    He faded late on but the damage had been done with him winning
    I’d like to know if O’Brien had this race in mind before or after
    if before because that run was not that long ago he could have left a bit of work on which could see improvement for this

    Looks like I missed the 10s

    8/1 with 5 places will have to do

    I thought that Get It ran a brave race trying to make all only to be caught
    by the Mark Johnston evens fav Eye Of Heaven. Even when he was collared, he kept
    on really well. I’ve taken the 12/1 with Bet365. He’s drawn stall 1 on the
    rail, which should be perfect if he can get out as smart as he did at Newmarket.

    Get It looks the best value here, and I’ve taken 16-1

    Get it for me also, could be tempted to go e/w on steadman also, cant see why tactical is ahead in the market of get it, not entirely sure i like the american pair or the fav, open race worth taking a chance at a price

    Probably because tactical was very badly hampered and wouldve almost certainly finished ahead of Get It

    Being owned by the queen during royal ascot probably knocks a point or two of his price as well

    You think that falls in the bracket of being badly hampered? Personally just thought the horse got a touch unbalanced, dont see why he would have finished infront of get it myself…

    Open race so wouldnt rule anything out including tactical

    He looks very short now

    But is drawn on the correct side which will help, hopefully he can break handily otherwise he will need significant luck in running being drawn widest of all

    Yes, as long as he is up with them I think he’ll be strong in the finish

    Havent seen the head on only the replay, looks like he caused it in the dip But this can be deceiving so ill take your word for it!, does not look that significant in terms of finishing that much further for me but i guess we will know more shortly!! he is very short now and i cant for the life of me see why

    I like the big priced horses in these 2yo races at the big meetings! I’m going for a few e/w – honeydew 150/1, tantastic 100/1, tenth century 80/1 and selected 125/1….fingers crossed!
