SMS's horses have been a mixed bunch so far. Some needing the race some not.
Cannoch Chase having won fist time out last season may well be in the latter category.
Postponed finished 3rd to him in a 10f Group 3 then franked the form by winning his next 2.
What's not clear is why he improved. Did he simply get better or was it for the step up in trip.
If it was the latter the step back down in trip could point to him needing it and the idea is sharpen him up.
If that is the case Cannoch Chase should take care of him again.
A bigger danger could be Tullius who can be frustrating but he is 100% sure to be fit.
Used to running over 8f he normally settles and travels well in his races.
Unless Alan Kirby decides to go on and make this a test of stamina on Postponed this could be down to which horse settles best as there is no front runner in the race.
Tullius has the advantage of having had run so he should have got over first time out keeness which could make all the difference
Pricewise I reckon he is way too big and hopefully 5/1 or 9/2 will be available
Tullius Sandown 2.00
I've gone for Guess Again too. Only for a sporting interest.One of my so called good bets at Cheltenham which ran in the Kim Muir GUESS AGAIN runs in the 3.50 Sandown so I'll row in again E/Way.
Good luck to you all
Refused to race.
