    I see Sizing Europe is out today at Gowran running in a race it has won for the last 3 years. Can't see Baily Green being quite good enough, so expect this one to be between the old boy and Roads To Riches. Going to go with my heart and take Sizing at 2/1.

    Love Sizing to bits but I'd be very worried about Road To a Riches. Officially Rated higher then Sizing now and getting 4lbs. I know he's still got plenty to prove but the way he won at Galway suggests that if he's ridden aggressively and jumps as well he'll put the old warrior under pressure. Carberry is also back on him and has a fine record on him while Burke is obviously a novice with little experience of the horse.

    Anybody know what happens here. Done a double Enke 5/4 and Steps 3/1 w/o Muthmir but now Muthmir is a non runner.

    Well the race itself is now W/O Muthmir, and Steps is 3/1 in the betting.
    Logically, your bet hasn't changed, so it should still be valid.

    7f should really suit but ground has to be gone against it doesn't it?

    Road to Riches has loads of ability, a lot of potential to unlock yet...but 2m4f may be shorter than he wants to go. With that slight doubt about the trip, I'd take the chance on Sizing Europe retaining enough abiilty to take a race in which he excels. Would not write off Baily Green, but dont think he'll have the measure of SE

    Also wondering which of JP's gets punted and lands the spoils in the opening maiden hurdle

    I've been waiting all year for Parish Hall to step up in trip and when he finally does he gets soft ground and has to give 3lb to a horse like Encke... *sigh*

    Thought he relished the step up in trip, definitely be keeping an eye on this one at this distance or maybe even further.

    He's a cup horse on breeding with a DI of 0.60, out of Montjeu mare who was herself out of a Quest For Fame mare. Imagine what Coolmore would've missed out on if they'd spent Leading Light's racing career trying to win races with him at 10f.

    He's made for the midsummer Cup races on good ground.

    Anybody know the story with Cirrus De Aigles. Backed him yesterday in a double with Sole Power. He was first past the post but got thrown out of the race by the stewards. I presume i will get awarded as a winner.

    You'd have to contact the bookie.
    Some are paying double result as a goodwill gesture whereas Bet365 (for example) are only paying on the official result.

    Backing those Godolphin horses should come with a health warning, so inconsistent they are :rolleyes:

    If ever a reason was needed to show why NH is so much better than flat that performance from Seizing Europe emphasizes the difference.

    That will be the performance of the weekend, no matter who wins the ARC.

    His jump at the last just summed him up what a hero one of my all time favorites.

    He veered left and interfered with the winner. I can't understand how he was demoted to 5th they were clear of everything else. French stewards are crazy.

    Didn't see the race but I presume the winner was demoted beneath any horses he interfered with in running as per the rules of French racing. Generally find the French stewards to be more on top of their game than some of the numpties that prevail this side of the pond

    Up until the last furlong or so, Sizing had no right whatsoever to have won that race. But the heart he showed was just unreal. Great ride from Johnny Burke all the same, never panicked. Having said that, Road To Riches looked the better horse, I can almost guarantee it will come on from that run.

    I think that will be the last time we see Sizing in the winners enclosure but i hope i am wrong.
