Fair play to Simon Clare and Coral for going 16/1 about Canford Cliffs in next year's Guineas.
He's got a DI of 0.00 so you'd say yes, although there's not enough in his profile to form a definative opinion
I don't think so necessarily. I'd take 16/1 if it was genuinely offered.
A great sight, even for those of us (like me) who doubted his debut run.

if I thought he had average 2-3 improvement I would say he is one of the best flat horses I have seen
that was bloody amazing

I hope the owners resist - it would be a real shame to see the horse ruined.

Visually impressive. I have to say I thought he pulled a bit too hard for comfort for the first three furlongs but he clearly had plenty in reserve.
About 6 lengths slower than Henry though. I'll be interested in the final time rating I end up with.
As for his 0.0CD, his total dosage points is 10, which Steve will tell us renders it virtually meaningless. What's Tagula's progeny's AWD? There looks to be enough stamina on the dam's side.

I meant also to say, wasn't it refreshing to see a jockey ask a horse to really put his rivals to the sword and stretch clear? Shades of Brigadier Gerard.

I don't think he could him any longer DO..its now all about 2-3 improvement..as always with impressive 2yo's...superiority wise he looked a 3yo today for sure...so impressive
it was the Coventry Stakes wasn't it?
looked more like a maiden race

Who do they have this year? Would Steinbeck be the pick of those out so far?

theres nothing to live with that performance from anywhere to be fair..it will need the horse to not develop ...or something really special to beat it
Hannon has a good chance in the last with Angels Pursuit..Hughes reckons that bar CC its the best in teh yard

its only a 2yo is why
i haven't looked at the times..but a 2yo is automatically 1.6 seconds per mile slower in June for same grade
You'd think so seeing as he is heading for the Railway Stakes first...though you can never be sure.

yes its confusing how they display it
you are right..they should have a standard for each race tbh..what they show is pointless..if you knew that when they said standard it meant for age class and true good ground..you would imgine that you had actually been told something worthwhile
