Locking forward to this. I have long term AP bets on Albigna and Alpine Star for this at 20/1 and 33/1 respectively but due to Covid neither will run. My thinking on this is that Albigna is the best of Jessie’s brilliant crop Of fillies but needs to be ridden by someone used to riding her. If Shane comes over I gather he would have to quarantine for 14 days before riding again in Ireland. That’s too high a price to pay especially with several others that have good prospects in the next few weeks in Ireland.
Thus Millisle represents the yard and JH has booked Oisin Murphy, which indicates to me that they have high expectations. Millisle has got the ability to accelerate towards the end of a race, though not as spectacularly as Albigna, and I took 10’s ew about a week ago. Best priced priced around 6/1 today. There is a good analysis of her last and most impressive performance on the Racing Post site. I also have a win double with the beloved Albigna for the Irish version.
There is plenty of high quality opposition but MILLISLE strikes me as a decent ew bet even at the current price.
