    amazing performance. Henry says he doesn't want the horse to be crowded. Not much danger of that over a mile. half a second off the course record on good to soft and running on his own.

    He'll easily get 1m2f on that evidence, in fact he may even improve for it. And there's nothing left to prove over a mile.

    I'm going to say it. He is the best horse I have ever seen, to beat Excelebration 11 lengths, is frightening.*

    I fancy Ortensia, in the sprint now the going has dried up abit :biggrin:*

    Caledonia Lady is tempting at 40/1. 3rd in the Queen Mary last year.

    Jim mcgrath is an awful commentator, failed to mention sole power once even though it was clear 3rd from a furlong out with half a chance still
    I was watching on BBC website cos im at work and although the commentary was clear enough, the picture was awful

    Smokin- I think he got confused with Ortensia at one point. He's truly dreadful.

    Smokin i was on Sole Power and to be honest i was amazed that Jim didnt spot him... Was the best runner from that side of the race... just seemed to ignore him...<confused>
