Gareth, surely none of them are 'speed horses' otherwise they'd all be running in the July Cup. It's the way the race is run and/or the pace of the race and who has or doesn't have the legs at the business end.
Tell me one Ballydoyle horse that has won a group one this season from the front?
Now you are contradicting yourself - there is no reason for Sri Putra to have improved - any evidence-based assessment would have Rewilding the best of thet trio over the 2 races.
With more rain about this week I suppose it's a lot more promising that Workforce will take part.
I can see Rewilding blowing out completely in this just like the leger last year just have a nagging doubt he needs alot of time between races. Also if it turns into a bit of a slog I can't see that suiting him. SNA strikes me as a horse that is going to absolutely love Ascot a reasonably long straight with a stiffish finish should suit if you look at how he has finished in the last 2 races. Arguably as well his best bit of form was in the RP trophy with dig in the ground so if it does soften will be in his favour.
Seven declared at 5-day stage...
Indeed. 13mm over the weekend, with a very showery week forecast.
The market looks a lot more sensible now. Of the likely runners:
SNA 7/4
Workforce 5/2
Rewilding 3/1
Nathaniel 10/1
Redwood 66/1
Workforce and Rewilding bit better than 4/5 dutched. To beat St Nic? Christmas come early surely.
Workforce is now favourite on Betfair.
