Point Blank: ‘The Lads’ Have a Ryan Moore Problem

won't tomorrow be rather after the event?

Just out of interest, the lineup of trainers for a 2yo race isn’t exactly stellar.

Eve Johnson Houghton wouldn’t bring anything other than a good 2yo to Ascot.

I wouldn't be backing anything based on any of the trainers pure FTO 2yr old stats

I think Eve has picked a lovely spot to unleash one of her better ones!

that would imply you have additional rationale as to why this race is a go for her

Your figures don't put me off much.

her course stats and that of her jockey are decent but so are a few others, but trainer (Ed Walker) and jockey (Tom Marquand) for Norman Invasion have the best course stats out of them all.

So fav Raaheeb wins, trainer Owen Burrows was my 2nd top for trainer course stats and out of the group had the best FTO 2yr old stats.

I don't do dosage analysis as yet, I wonder how that looked pre race.

He’s a half-brother to Baaeed! He should have been winning that race, but you never know if they’ll “gun” one like that first time out. George Scott said at the start of the season that Behike would start over 6f in July but was really a 7f horse, so possibly wasn’t straight today. I’d give a few of these a chance next time, including Kaladan in shallower waters, where it will be a similar price after today’s run.
