Irish Champion Stakes Day

Colonel Sanders

Tomorrow's is usually one the best , if not the best, flat card of the year. I'm not the biggest flat fan but always try make it to this meeting

The Champion Stakes is t the mercy of Rip Van according to the bookmakers. I think he's the best horse in the race but the price is a bit skinny. I missed him at York (was on holidays) when I fancied him strongly so will leave this alone

The Matron is a hot race. Not sure the 3yo Fillies are great this year but Music Show won The Falmouth well. Maybe Spacious is a bit of value but I won't have a bet

The Group 3 is oftn a weak enough race on this card and looks so again this year IMO. Noll Wallop looked a decent sort in the Guineas Trial but then flopped in The Guineas itself. The extra 10f shouldn't be problem (by High Chaparral) and would be my idea of a bet on the card (although only gets 4lbs from Cashlgar) if I put my hand in my pocket

Long Live The King has been talked up on the Betfair forum and is Murtagh's chosen mount from O'Brien's 4 in the colts maiden

Hopefully people more up to speed with flat form can ad a bit more

I actually thought the group 3 looked alright,Weld's horse might be getting my money.
