I've now completed my 'portfolio' of bets in the race with another decent win bet on Intense Raffles, which I'm surprised has drifted to 16/1. For me, it has the same kind of chance as did I Am Maximus last year.

The RP don't show it but it is officially 5lbs well in, I think it should be some way more than that as I think they have under-rated the Bobbyjo form (let's hope it doesn't prove to be the Jobbybo form) and I saw/read something not long ago that suggested Intense Raffles was only half-fit that day.

Quite simply, the only things that beat it are the ground or bad luck in running.

Or a lack of stamina.

Or a jockey fvck-up.

Or some other horse.

Or five or six other horses.
