1st Honey Man 11/4 - 120 2nd Kings Slipper 11/2 - 85 3rd Apex King 20/1 - 55 Honey Man is up 6lb for his last win over C&D just getting up to beat Hakeem by 3/4L and there is a 3lb swing in Hakeems favour. 3rd placed in that race, Medieval has a swing in the weights from both of these. So you need to be careful. But Honey Man is 2/2 on this type of surface, and i backed him on his last run, so i remember it, and he got blocked in on the rails when everyone else was hard at work, once he got out he flew, and i think he idled once he hot the front as Hakeem came close, but Honey Man ws in control, so if im right then there is not reason why Honey Man cannot frank his win again. Kings Slipper won over C&D by a neck last time, but in comparasion to Honey Mans race, KS needs to find 10lb. Saying all that, his time was 2 seconds quicker than Honey Man. So he could well have claims. Apex King was once very highly thought of winning a Listed race at Royal Ascot as a 2yo then

1st Bedrock 4/1 - 65 1st Clever Cookie 11/1 - 65 2nd Hochfield 7/1 - 60 3rd Mam'selle 7/2 - 35 First of all i need to say, at present it is Soft (Heavy in places) but there is 5 hours worth of heavy rain due or should i say it has already started. So this system is based on Heavy ground. Bedrock has never encountered heavy ground before but he goes well on soft, even a 4th in a Grade 1 handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival, on soft over 2f more, so he will certainly have the stamina to deal with the heavy ground. He is 5lb higher that his last win on the flat. This is going to be a slog and he has a low weight and the stamina. I can see why he is 4/1 Clever Cookie is a grand old boy, but realistically these stats are based on all his form and he just isn't that horse anymore. Saying that he has enjoyed heavy going before, and came 7th in a similar type of race in March this year. And has dropped 8lb since then. Was beaten 16L though. He hasn't won for 2 years,
