and the 6/4 RVW might look pretty generous come 3.30.
There’s plenty of 15/8 available at the moment (2/1 gone).
You’ve got two hopes Aragorn- he scuttled off and sulked last time someone put his tips under scrutiny, not sure who
To be fair he has started a diary in the notebook section
Don’t Tell Mary did win well last time and the race is turning in to a fair pointer for the QM but at this stage and at the prices I’ve taken an interest in Misheer of Clive Brittain’s.
Won an uncompetitive maiden first up very easily and then collected in a listed event at York despite differing underfoot conditions and losing ground as the jockey charted his course. Didn’t beat Little Scotland by as far as Don’t Tell Mary but showed a tenacious attitude to get up, a quality that you may be required in such a competitve race, and I’m sure she’ll appreciate being back on quicker ground.
I’m hoping Little Scotland will head to the Windsor Castle on the opening day as I think she’ll have a good chance in that.
That may have something to do with O’Brien stating Steinbeck’s 50/50 at best to run. Might be worth topping up now
Quote from Ken Pitterson, the well respected paddock observer, in this week’s Weekender on Fame and Glory:
This scopey son of Montjeu looked a serious threat with two furlongs to go, but he lacked a change of pace compared to the winner and just hung on to second place. The long term plan should be the St Leger as he looks a pure galloper top me

I think it will be the Arkle or nothing. Best Mate didn’t run at The Festival after capturing the Scilly Isles (Calgary Bay’s next target)
Best Mate didn’t run due to Foot and Mouth but was favourite for The Arkle at the time
Just had a quick look at the odds on Oddschecker Back to the race and I keep coming back to Moon Over Miami – dual course winner who disappointed in the RSA Ch in March but that was his first run back after breaking a blood vessel in the Kingmaker Nov Chase 5 weeks previously.
The worry is that he might be a bit "soft" but I think he’s worth an each-way shout at the 33s available (or 25s with Betfred!)
David, I’d just be a little wary as I suspect he’ll run in the 2m h/c on the Sunday.
