I see Mogul is in the Voltigeur at York this week. He was available at 3/1 earlier, with the John Gosden trained Darain backed into the favourite spot.
The expensive brother of Too Darn Hot started well enough in a Class 5 Novice but surprisingly stayed at the same level next time and was workmanlike in producing a performance that had to be rated slightly lower than his first effort. His Official Rating of 96 seemed generous enough in the circumstances and he is facing proper horses now, if not the most inspiring vintage.
Mogul is 2/1 favourite now, with part of his original odds being whether he would be the one from the O'Brien yard to come over and he is the sole representative from Aidan's yard. Mogul is officially 13 lbs higher than Darain on 109 but he also has a lot more experience of racing and the Gosden horse will have learned very little from a second outing in a Class 5 Novice race.
William Haggas's Roberto Escobarr put in an improved and promising performance in putting previous winners to the sword by 4 lengths last time but Brentford Hope and others have disappointed from that race since. I would question whether the son of Galileo should really be 6 lbs lower than Darain, given that his Class 5 Novice win was better looking to me than the one the Gosden colt won but he's surely on a par at least with the 2nd Fav and is more than double the odds.
Funnily enough, English King's old sparring partner Berkshire Rocco is in the Voltigeur but as the complete outsider on some lists at 14/1, with Juan Elcano the same price with some firms.
Highland Chief and Subjectivist will lock horns with Mogul again, after being second and third to him last time. Highland Chief is four times the price of Mogul, with only three parts of a length to find and Mark Johnston's improver Subjectivist was a further three parts of a length away in third. Personally speaking I find it hard to follow any Johnston horse with 100% expectation that they will run the same race again but he did put it up to them for a long way at Goodwood.
For me, Pyledriver might be the bet in the Voltigeur. He was no factor in the Derby but he wouldn't be the first horse not to give their form at Epsom. If we rewind to the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot we see Pyledriver winning the Group 2 contest by two lengths, with Mogul only 4th when a shade of odds on. It was said that Mogul badly needed that race but he needs to find five lengths from that race to beat Pyledriver now. The Muir trained colt has only run twice at the 12F trip and has won one, so if we forgive the Derby effort he must have some chance, even if he does have to concede 3 lbs, because his 110 rating is 1 lb higher than Mogul on 109. Given that Mogul is 2/1 and Pyledriver 12/1, I would much rather play at the bigger odds for an interest.
Looking at the Voltigeur field you could only really conclude that the colts all being rated 110 or less is an indication that none of them are Arc prospects. Darian is unbeaten but is 3/1 because he is trained by Gosden and cost a Gazillion at the sales. Two Class 5 Novices and now going to Group 2 seems to be a crazy bit of pricing up.
I'll forgive Pyledriver his poor show at Epsom and hope he can bounce back.
2.45 York Pyledriver 12/1
Hopefully doesn't run like he is suffering from piles or I'll need the Anusol myself
) and the minute he gets hassled on the lead and things don’t go his way he won’t like it! And there are a couple of scenarios I can see happening. First of all I was steaming at Aidan for not sending in a pacemaker but looking at it he won’t need one. The key horse being Rose of Kildare she is your typical mark Johnson horse who gets better with every race and the Change of tactics in the Musidora going from pillar to post (practically anyway) really bought the best out of her. Fanning I Reckon will be looking to the same again. And yes she may struggle to keep up with Ghaiyyath, however she will be constantly pestering and importantly not allowing Buick that breather to allow him to kick in again. With Ryan getting magical very nicely Settled In begind those and start to make some significant headway 4f with Ryan not really moving 2f out Buick starts to get lower on the saddle and she serves it up to him 1f out they battle and out then asserts her dominance towards the line. With lord north just missing out on second to Ghaiyyath and Kameko in behind (because this bunch of 3yos colts arnt really anything special)
