I thought the likes of Finjaan and Lord Shanakill shaped far more like 2yo types than Rip Van Winkle. The Ballydoyle colt has far more scope than any of the horses that finished in front of him in the Dewhurst in my book (particularly considering he was unsuited by the run of the race). That said, I won't be backing Rip Van Winkle given the discrepancy in prices. Indeed, I conceed the fact that there is a strong argument to be made that it is too severe.
