Tartan Bearer

I would run Pipedreamer in the Lockinge at Newbury and sit in behind Gladatorious.

Is Gladatorious deffo going for that? 7 to back at the moment. Paco Boy is one to take on at Newbury. Don`t think the straight track will suit at all over 8f.
 
Really? If he wasnt going to stay a mile (pretty unlikely) then Sandown would found him out for sure. Has also won twice at newbury of course, so the course itself is hardly a problem
 
But would the lockinge be run at a fast pace anyway? We shall see, but i think he will be fine

Its long been stated that 7f is a "specialist" trip, and often wouldnt disagree, but is this dominating the thinking (or prejudice) surrounding PB a little too much?
 
Sounds like they are going to keep Tartan Bearer to 10 furlongs for the moment, leaving the 12f races to Conduit.
 
Even though for a while the gaps weren't opening for Tartan Bearer, you'd still prefer to see him running over 12f, he could be immensely good at that trip. I get the impression he won't be anywhere near as good at 10f.
 
Bound to be better over 12f. Good to see that tail of his growing back too. Looked a bit like Beef or Salmon from behind!
