What do you all fancy?
I'll start...
2.30
No bet but I want to see the American win by 5 lengths just to get it right up the jingoists.
3.05
I think Take The HInt looks a good thing.
3.45
I trust AOB will have Yeats on song. Home and hosed.
4.20
The Hunt Cup made it look like lows were massively favoured but ther's a lot of pace far side here. I still think lows will prevail and River Captain might get it quite easy out in front in spite of the numbers. I rate Secret Society the big danger and respect several others, naturally enough. If the pace far side is strong enough to put them in front, I reckon Tartan Gunna might emerge the best at a huge price but plenty of respect for several others too.
4.55
Nothing between Fremantle and Monitor Closely on my figures but expect significant improvement from the former.
5.30
Strikes me as a slightly below par renewal and my four against the field are Polly's Mark, Barwell Bridge, Lasso The Moon and Chiberta King. The last-named has the best draw and is the one I fancied most anyway so he's the main bet but LTM lost at least ten lengths at the start last time and finished strongly. I'm concerned about a woman jockey (rode last time) but if the combo break on fairly level terms it might not be an issue.
