York, 2.40 - Brazen Bolt 50/1, 4 places - He spent the winter in Bahrain, having gone there rated 91. His form took off over there and he came back rated 102 so he’s dropped 10lbs for a handful of poor runs. Could they be down to re-acclimatising? He was a longshot in all those races so nothing was expected of him. In one of those races abroad he was ½-length second to Roman Dragon to whom he was conceding 17lbs. Roman Dragon ran 6lbs better next time (on RPRs) before turning up at Chester in the spring off 95 and beaten only a length by Democracy Dilemma at 100/30. If Brazen Bolt is the 15lbs better than Roman Dragon their Bahrain form implies then he really could be lobbed in here off 92 (and be a candidate for the odds-on thread ). I’m happy to pay to find out. They might have something like the Ayr Gold Cup in mind but he’d need to get up the weights to have a chance of making the cut there.
