The Wokingham

With regards the Wokingham. Waffle has shaped well on all 3 starts this year. Badly hampered behind Horseradish and just ahead of Our Jonathan at Doncaster over 6f and then finding 5f too sharp for him at Musselburgh and York. His Cornwallis effort suggests the track shouldn't inconvenience him at Ascot like it might a few others.

Unlucky. I thought winner was one of the easiest to throw out. Such a hard race.

Of those outside the front two who are sure to get in I like Deacon Blues who ran well first time out at Ascot and whose Portland run last season suggested he has one of these big handicaps in him. That said, he is up 3lbs for the Ascot run but I think he's just the sort of horse with which his trainer excels and I think he might have a bit more improvement to come.

Well spotted gus (May 24th) , hope you took an ante post interest.
 
I did, thanks, DG. 16 on Betfair. I also backed Macs Power from the same yard and he beat everything on the stands' side pretty comfortably. One to keep in mind, I think.
 
...mind you, Deacon Blues was the first sprint handicap winner I've backed since Last Tango took the 1976 Ayr Gold Cup.
 
Well played Gus. The winner reminds me so much of Zidane who also was so unlucky so many times before finally coming if age.
