TAAJUB
Couple of eyecatchers in this race one was dungannon already on my to follows for ascot and the other was taajub probably one of the biggest eyecatchers I've seen in sometime.Adam Kirby deliberately dropping taajub out,in doing so getting shuffled back and losing 6ls yet finished the race on the bridle.Looked by far the best horse in the race and could well go unnoticed,fairly progressive sprinter last season as well especially on faster ground.Last three previous runs on gd/fm taajub had been 2nd to barnet fair off 98,2nd to desert law off 100 and followed that with 3rd to swiss spirit and kingsgate native in group race.His form is starting to look better on firmer ground and there looks a nice handicap to be won was ridden with that in mind today and maybe seen in listed races,there's a possibility could be better than ever.
