I’m on Telenor today, few bob e/w at 14’s, in with a shout! Loves the mud and will get this trip!
Peddlers Cross is the one I’ll be on. He doesn’t know when he’s beaten (literally) but tops a pyramid of a few notable scalps … and he’s only a 5YO. Has bags of stamina and is bound to improve further. Should he strike the front early in the straight, it’ll take something special to get past him.
Something special = HURRICANE FLY
Has to be Flat Out for me and I think Noble Prince won’t be too far behind, Realt Dubh will be challenging Noble Prince for 2nd.
I think it’s Kauto Star’s race to lose, work-rider Clifford Baker says he is "as good as ever" and from watching the schooling clip on youtube my money is firmly on Kauto to retain the King George and make history.
I’m also quietly backing Nacarat, watched last years King George and it was foolish of him to run with Kauto on the turn as he was left for dead but from reading articles, Nacarat is in good form and should put a greater challenge and is a strong each way chance in my opinion.
I have my doubts about The Nightingale staying this trip and I fear the horse may struggle at this distance even though reports suggest he is in great form, I have my doubts.
I think Long Run is in with a good shout as well but I’d place Nacarat ahead when the race is drawing to a close.
However, as I said before, it’s Kauto’s race to lose and I have my money on him to win his fifth consecutive King George!
