    Now that the decs are in i'm looking at Frozen Fire for Aidan O'Brien. Main reason is his price 15-2 with PP now. I cant see him being this big on Friday. There was no pace at Chester where he finished third and Johnny had a Chester to forget.

    Youmzain just never seems to win - he is a top horse but is always the brides-maid. Ask is a decent animal as is Look Here but her layoff is just too long for me. O'Brien's horses improve a lot on their first outing too.

    Frozen Fire wont act on the track. Fact
    Ran no sort of race in the farce at chester.
    Ran last year in d epsom derby and finished 11th and was reported to have not acted on the track after the race. Imo was a very lucky winner of the irish derby as the interference that occured benefited him as he got a clean passage down the outside. He also has temprament issues and needs to be held up as does the favourite.
    Youmzain is the class horse in the race and deserves a change of luck.
    His style of racing has led him to being the bridesmaid on more than one occasion. Hes reputed to be in great form and well i`ll follow him one more time. His form is rock solid and with another few yards would have caught the duke in last seaons renewal.

    Duncan, I like the way this horse has returned, clearly trained on over the winter.

    It's such an open race... I have to say I don't like Frozen Fire one bit, and he won't get a decent shot at it.
    Mike is correct about Duncan having come along very well and I would like to see him do it, but again I can't see it happening.

    Youmzain should run a good race but were I a gambling man I'd be backing Look Here, with Youmzain to be right on her heels.

    Hey,
    I was told yesterday to back Clive Brittains Wadaat ew in the Oaks.
    But just looking at his form he came second last in the Oaks trial in early May!
    Big price, he was also mentioned by Sky Sports news this morning.
    Happy punting...

    What a race it was! Thought Youmzain had won it but somehow he manages to come second again:mad: By the way how good a run by Look Here after such a lay off

    Typically Duncan finished 4th, still I reckon he is one to keep an eye on this summer.
