Always one of the best meetings of the year.
The talk a year or two back of it reverting to midweek seems to have been just talk but hope springs eternal. I'll start going again if it ever happens.
Anyway, on the subject of the actual racing, it's interesting to see from today's Post that Profitable is to be supplemented for the July Cup. He's been priced up at 8/1. He's only ever run once beyond the minimum trip and acquitted himself respectably when he did but I'd prefer the chances of 6f specialists like Twilight Son, Magical Memory and Quiet Reflection and so he wouldn't be for me. Limato is due to run as well, so it's a pretty deep race.
The two-year-old action at the meeting is always informative. Mehmas is 2/1 fav for the July Stakes with Windsor Castle winner, Ardad, priced at 7/2. Yalta (9/1) would interest me if the ground was decent.
