    I'm quite keen on Fracas, he ran a better race at Epsom than his finishing position suggests, he was still last 4 furlongs out and finished better than anything to get 4th. A smaller field on Saturday will mean he won't be able to get too far behind.

    Hurricane Run although looking a quality horse in the French Derby is worth taking on at odds of 4/6. He's never been outside France so who knows how well he'll travel and adapt to the different conditions at the Curragh.

    I backed Fracas at 13/1 on Wednesday night on Betfair, he was in to 8/1 last night.

    Fracas should take it. Although Walk in the park ran the exact same race as motivator in the derby although he started he charge from the rear. Motivator was still going the one pace when he past the pacemaker. WITP should have beaten motivator had they been on terms turning for home. I'd do a win for WITP and snd will go to Fracas. Although don't underestimate Gypsy King...Galileo and High Chaparral anyone? He know's how to train a derby winner...

    Alan Munro is on Walk In The Park again.

    In his post-Epsom interviews, he indicated that he learned a lot from that race and would ride the horse differently next time, even saying that he'd be confident if taking on Motivator again. I backed him that time and probably will do again. He should be bang in there at the finish on Sunday.

    Hurricane Run will not be beaten in this race. Don't dream of opposing him.

    Gypsy King put down. A horrible end to such an unfortunate career for this one. The hyped horses always suffer so badly.

    Sad to see it alright. Backed Fracas and Scorpion ew for a place. Didnt put enough faith in Scorpion to cover me bets though. Didnt bother with Hurricane Run as the odds were awful.
