Two longshots today
Although Equilateral hasn't really shone over 6f before, since he's been gelded his form over 5f has reached a new level. As I have it his 2nd behind Battash was his best effort to date. It might be viewed as he was picking up the pieces but he certainly out finished Liberty beach and Tis Marvellous the latter being a very strong stayer at a stiff 5f so at around 28/1 he's a fair old bet.
The other one I've been very keen on since earlier in the week comes in 3.50 at Ascot Street Parade, I think he's still 33's in places and should be around that generally tomorrow. At the start of his career things were going well probably his best performance came when second to Wedding date from a mark of 101. Re opposes tomorrow as it goes I think he's 16lb better off for a length. Anyway after this run his form nosedived. He then had a breathing op and had a few spins on the All weather and although things didn't really work out for him there he posted a figure that looks like he's well on his way back and when doing so didn't have the best of luck in running. He then had a break and came back at Newmarket , slowly away, sitting behind a wall of horse looking like there is plenty of life back in him. He got dropped another 3lb to a mark of 92 and now Stuart Williams decides to deploy useful claimer Marco Ghianni to take another 5lb off. From watching the runs on the Alll weather he's crying out for a stiff 5f on a straight track run at a break neck pace and he certainly seems to be surrounded by it. I expect a big run however I struggle to see bar bricking up stall 20 what will be able to stop Jonah Jones who was probably the most eye catching runner you'd ever see lto and posted a decent figure in the process of being sandwiched between two horses and not knocked about either on his way to the finish. Our only hope is that there is a lot of pace drawn low and maybe that will isolate jonesy but even so he looks as good a thing as you get in a big handicap.
Best of luck chaps.
