A nice placer and this horse needs following now. Hopefully won't go up too much from a mark of 86. I will be watching out for him in all the big mile handicaps including at Rpyal Ascot and the golden mile at Goodwood.
Sunday
2.22 Stratford-Daenerys Stormborn
Each Way @ 12-1 [Betfred] 3 places
Worth chancing with the extra place
Makeen 3:05 Carlisle - did the Noted in Running thread a favour last time and is only up 2lb for it. 5/2 atm
Rose:s Girl 2:10 Redcar - well thought of and good run on AW last time. Buick up again. 11/4 atm.
CORINTHIAN KNIGHT 510W 10/1 is an interesting horse.
Has won over 350 000 in it's time and has been totally out of form on the aw.has only beaten 14 horses in ten runs but now back on turf 17lb lower than when it won at Pontefract twice last july.probably better over 6f,and maybe this is to get it ready for a return to that track.
Money for it last night but now drifting.
LIBERATED LAD 820L 3/1
Went into my alerts over 1m 4f on friday.
Drops back to 1m 2f.
Gets at least 10lb from all and 20lb from the fav.
When I was a lad a long long time ago I always though topweight were best over 10f so maybe the weights dont matter but could get an easy lead here.3/1 in a 4 runner race seems fair to me.
Natural Path's sire Toronado was a good second to Dawn Approach only beaten a nostril in the St James Palace at Royal Ascot and Toronado then won the Sussex at Goodwood.
Natural Path has the pedigree for what I think he can do for sure.
I await what the handicapper does with interest.
I reckon anything under 90 for Natural Path is acceptable.
I'm saving up!!!
Early indications are that the principals in the Lockinge have pretty much run to their ORs, with Alcohol Free and, to a lesser extent, Mother Earth underperforming and Sunray Major taking a good step forward. The handicapper might hit him with a 4lbs rise.
