    Having to get out of babouche now, ground is most definitely on the better side of soft, daylight would be the lay now, but ill sit it out having barely got out without any damage done

    Strange decision bringing LV back in trip, she looked like she was crying out for further lto, dont have much doubt that LV is the best horse in the race but not over this trip

    Couldnt have babouche on the ground

    Daylight would be my selection but id say ill just be laying babouche mainly and not backing anything

    Never backed him atall, never had a penny on anything in the race

    But a horse who loves a soft lead and is running 10lbs or whatever it is under his hurdles rating, so technically 16lbs under what hes capable of

    Why did they let him do that…

    Now this is a horse race, easily the race of the season, by some distance.

    Have to be taking on the fav, calandagans win was impressive, but flattered i think, will get his ground again it looks like? Probably worth more credit than what im giving him, but it just looked to good to be true, both the front two in the markets trainers are in very good form also, so could be foolish to overlook, but im going to

    I too will be on maljo e/w and i expect him to be a fair bit shorter than the 33/1 available, haggas yards flying currently aswell

    The rest are worthy of there place and wouldnt be surprised if israr ran a nice race aswell

    Im finding it hard to see why whistlejacket doesnt win, dont think the run behind babouche was a bad one, the only question mark is the quick turnaround, but at the price he is i dont really mind taking the chance, 7/2 seems
    Overpriced imo

    Daylight e/w at 9/1 also is an attractive price

    Really good looking race

    This is always extremely difficult, but for whatever reason im completely against everything and cant find an angle i even remotely like, rocket rodney is as close to a bet as ive had, but even at 50s i think its short

    Probably just be watching, if RR goes 70s or something ill have a rogue score on for fun

    What is the ground actually like, anyone got the details? Good few NR’S again so assuminf its firmer than expected again?

    Wether it was a good decision by crowley or not ginge is irrelevant, the wording of the rules states that jaabara was within her rights at the time to come across, if they want to make it clearer, increase the distance for coming across to 2 lengths, as the rules are written right now, jaabara followed them

    Her momentum was impeded the same way a horse caught in traffics would be RTB, thats sort of irrelevant in this case as jaabara according to the rules, came across with enough distance, so raqiya was by the rules, caught in traffic, which was her own fault

    Theres absolutely no doubt about this that on appeal ittl be reversed back again and theyll need to review the crossing distances

    Johnny is correct, rtb, had crowley kept riding, 100% he would have been impeded, but crowley anticipated it which he shouldnt have done and his momentum was not checked, he was definitely atleast 1 full length clear and the horse at that time was quickening away

    This will be appealed and reversed back to jaabara, absolutely no doubt about it,

    Another god awful decision

    Very good shout glad, i had him in the to 4tbp market, never gave him a shout to win, was on bluestocking (not each way)

    The drift for AR right at the off was the end

    But i do agree, the pacemaker demolished the chances of ar lux & rr

    Ive said a few times sirona has a good race in her, but im not sure its today, the fav, imo should be a good bit shorter than what she is, her race LTO has worked out very well, with a couple going on to win listed races and earn a rating of 107/108, id say shes a atleast a 112 animal, atleast, she done that very easily, much easier than the distance shows

    I wouldnt be going near the gosden horse

    Sopranos formline ties in with the horse the fav gave a hiding to

    The rest are a bit meh

    Pace should come from the two outsiders, one of whom has a tendency to race too keen, which should suit the fav

    Wouldnt be opposed to saving on sirona, but if the fav is ready to go, this really ought to be straightforward

    Criminal ride on the fav, albeit he wouldnt have won anyway, not sure what he thought he was sitting on

    Winners done it well, the arcs not taking much shape currently

    Look de vega looks a standout, but is a crazy price

    I never backed anything in the race, but similar to you, i let the reputation running lion seemingly has cast doubt, even though i knew what she was prior to the race. Silly.

    Sirona has a decent race in her somewhere, change of tactics may be needed, contrary to not staying last season, she looks like she needs 10f now
