    Its likely one of the ballydoyle runners will at least force if dictate the pace.You would think it would be mars give the two henrythenavigator colts are likely to be ridden for a turn of foot but ive been surprised many times by the choice of front runner by the stable before,no more so than when mastercraftman and fame and glory were in ridden seemingly the wrong way around in the irish champion stakes.Any theory’s on this? Or will leitir mor be allowed an easy lead? Can’t see hughes being up leitir mors ass.Hughes will probably be tracking dawn approach Who should be chasing his pacemaker shouldn’t he? I wouldnt be surprised to see dawn approach jump out and make it a test.

    My first post so be gentle :)
    Far from being a cry theory based on the visual evidence.Dawn approach looks to be a horse who will improve for a trip on what we have seen so far.No more so than in the coventry did he look like a tad short of speed before powering to the front.Once he got to the lead he looked to be pulling up.That was my first impression from my view that day and having seen the race run again from several angles i was convinced thats exactly what he was doing.He ran around a lot in the national stakes too when he got to the front.I would go along with bolgers theory that hes a bit lazy.His sire was very much the same when he hit the front.
    The fact dawn approach went unbeaten all season tunning right through the coventry to the dewhurst its hard to think he wouldnt of becoming exposed if he didnt have a bit of toe.So i’d be a backing rather than a layer at the current odds.
