- 3/1 Needs to defy stall
12, but this has been his plan since the Greenham and has been sharper
for the run. He has been crying out for the extra furlong. The Only
horse to ever beat him was Dawn Approach, so for me that is rock solid
form. My only worry would be his stall draw, he is very wide and it puts
him at a disadvantage. Still probably our main hope

- 33/1 and there is a
reason. Drawn stall 16, which is not good at all, beaten over 2L by
Style Vendome, last time out and i cannot see that being reversed not
with this stall draw anyway

and could be worth a cheeky e/w, just because he has a plum stall draw,
but probably just a waste as i think he might find conditions a bit too
quick

- 20/1 Drawn in a good
stall, but i really think the heavens need to open up before he can be
considered for me. Although only beaten 1/2L by Gengis in a G3 last time
out, which gives him a chance still

- 9/2 Has beaten a few of
these runners already and is an obvious horse to beat. Drawn very well
too and is probably worthy 2nd favourite. He broke a track
record at Chantilly on his 3 year old debut, but that was a new
fibresand surface, so not sure how honest that time was. Still one to
beat here though

only beaten just over 1L by Anodin last time out, but still needs to
step up here and overcome stall 13, i think it might be a tall ask to
reverse form with Anodin

- 10/1 Ignore Aiden O’Brien
horses in this race at your peril. This is his first string and his
Group 2 2nd to Reckless Abandon is very good. 10/1 and stall
5, is a worthy e/w punt

as usual Aiden O’Brien has to have a pacemaker in his race. That annoys
me, but that’s for another day. Drawn stall 10 and will go off at a
blistering pace, hoping that they can burn out half the field. Just his
presence in the field boosts Gale Force Tens chance

- 50/1 If
he wasn’t drawn out in the car park then 50/1 would look good for a
small e/w. Needs good ground and has gone well in a G1 back in October,
was only beaten into 3rd by 1/2L. And would of liked a prep
run beforehand

- 20/1 this is a horse i
liked last year, but not sure he is as good as Olympic Glory, and rating
say he is 7lb behind him. He is in the stall next door to OG but i would
be surprised if he comes home in front of him. He was beaten by Toronado
last time out, and Toronado failed to fire in the Guineas. So doesn’t
look great

This horse is interesting, still a maiden, but connections must think a
lot of him to dump him in at this class before he has even won a race.
He has an ok stall draw too. And was only beaten 3 1/2 L by Style
Vendome last time out, after being keen and he did run on, and looked
like 1m will suit well. Also by New Approach. I wouldn’t put a line
through him

i think 6f looks to be his ideal trip but certainly has a chance if he does
get the extra distance. I find him hard to fancy but there is no doubt
he has a chance

- 12/1 this poor horse has
drawn the car park. I think he would find it extremely difficult to
overcome the furthest draw. If he was drawn lower, then he would enter
the equation, but based on such a awful draw i will not be backing him

Well William Buick fancies his chances from stall 2. Has a bit to find,
but why not.

- 9/1 Might find 1m too
sharp, and Willie The Whipper done him no favours during the week at Chester.
He is quite quick though and he cannot be ruled out entirely

full brother to Goldikova, and Oliver Peslier chose to ride him instead
of Intello, before Intello was given the stall in the car park with
Gengis. Freddy Head has described him as the best horse in his yard by
some way. I think he will improve with the better ground, as didn’t seem
to go on very soft, even though a creditable 2nd. I quite
fancy this one

When asked what i fancied i glanced through and picked Intello, because
i thought he ran very well at Newmarket last time out, and had 2000
Guineas 2nd Glory Awaits back in a distant 3rd
that day. Intello looks to want further than 1m and although i would
like to think he has a chance. Stall 17 is just awful, and i think that
would put an end to any chance he could of had. He will be much better
over further eventually

I find it hard to split Style Vendome and Olympic Glory. I
rate OG very highly but i worry about his stall draw, and stall draw here is
everything. However i do fancy Anodin at
a nice price to suprise. I went for Gale Force Ten, but it could easily be
Bright Strike too.
My Picks
1st Anodin 9/1
2nd Style Vendome 9/2
3rd Olympic Glory 3/1
4th Gale Force Ten 10/1
5th Bright Strike 28/1
