Cirrus Des Aigles

aftertiming alert but he was a fair old price given those are his optimum conditions

absolute legend of the game and a great training job from corine barande-barbe
 
Puts Frankel on perspective.

Cirrus a legend, at his best a 140 horse for me on soft ground.
Amazing to see him with appetite to win.
 
Is love him! I was hoping he'd beat Al Kazeem. Delighted. My own horse is called Cirrus which is why I started to have asoft spot for him but that soon became a real appreciation.

Love that "he's" so vocal on Facebook as well.
 
Couldn't see him winning that especially with Roger Charlton's horses being in great form....another winner today.


Love to say I love the horse but the few times I have backed him he's lost.


He is however one amazing animal.....the Hurricane Fly of the flat
 
And Gailo chop returns. There's a big race in this horse, probably a prep for Prince of Wales, unlikely to get his ground there��.
 
solow looks a proper horse but if there is any soft description in the going i shall be backing the old warrior blind
 
Hope don't jinx you James but I a backing Cirrus no matter what they say the ground is like.

No doubt Solow is a decent horse but had a look at what he has beaten.

Prior to beating the Grey Gatsby he beat very little and I don't trust the Meydan form

The Grey Gatsby himself is in and out and has won only 3 decent races and is far from consistent

They say it was a big step up in class last time for Solow I suggest it may not have been that big and this is a real step up and he'll find it much tougher.

I think Cirrus will kick him right into touch
 
The Grey Gatsby looked like a mule at the start and raced like he hasn't recovered from last years over achieving campaign.
 
Just confirms my belief Solow wins at Ascot. Suppose the decision is which race. Another day for Cirrus hopefully.

Yep good old warrior the Charlton horse. Thought he may take this race. Done well to squeeze through.
 
Cirrus lost a shoe and Soumillion was easy on him as a result. Fascinating to see if he comes to Epsom given the injury last season.
