We will know Tuesday’s five-day entries today at midday (Wednesday).
I’ll be back then.
Back shortly, in fact. The ground has dried up considerably in the last 48 hours (see below).
Just the 10 at the five-day stage, which was surprisingly low.
Charlie Appleby, after a no-show in the Oaks and Derby, has three in here, including the market leaders Notable Speech and Opera Ballo at [7/4] and [7/2] tops, while Aidan O’Brien relies on just Expanded, a general 40s poke, with 50s in a place.
More Thunder is next in at 5s, with last year’s winner Docklands at 7s, Zeus Olympios 8s, Damysus 12s and 50s bar.
If More Thunder is 5s after the final field is known, he’d be my idea of an each-way bet.
Not an each-way bet to nothing as that would imply the bet would be a loser.
Damysus and Expanded have other options at the meeting.
After rain today and Thursday, I think they may just start watering over the weekend.
There are 31 entries and O’Brien has the market leaders in Great Barrier Reef and Confucius, at [7/2] and 4s respectively.
It sounds like Great Barrier Reef doesn’t go here now.
There is a maximum field of 28.
The Aussie Overpass is the favourite at [5/2].
We have a maximum field of 28, so they can all run if they want.
A small but select field here – but what a race in prospect.
Bow Echo v Gstaad v Talk Of New York v Rayif.
Wowsers.
Bow Echo is the evens favourite.
A maximum field of 20 for this 2m4f handicap.
Reaching High is the 3s favourite.
Haatem is the favourite at 6s, underlining just what a competitive race this is.
Maximum field of 16 on the day.
Valiancy is the 3s favourite for this 1m6f handicap.
A maximum field of 16.
