A very strong piece of looking form,as I mentioned the previous day the draw looked a big advantage standside,the eventual winner ran an incredible race drawn 1 dropped out to come standside.Discussion to follow has been on my to follows eveer since its maiden run when looked a stone well in has looked massively progressive.He gave these at least a 3l stsrt beating horses behind that themselves were in great form robot boy won decent handicap at Newcastle and demora hadv won the big race at musselburugh.The form couldn't have been any stronger with speed gift winning at bath on Tuesday as well,he's now 3rd fav for the stewards cup and looks like he has a realistic chance,whatever he will be winning more races.The other huge run in the race was millys gift stranded in the middle of the track the only horse from the race to run well from there and just get touched ioff.She also looks progressive and her sandown penultimate run is also woring out extremely well.
