    It was a great effort, the horse got Moore out of a lot of trouble from what was a poor position in which they found themselves in and then when Moore asked for effort, the horse was more than willing. You won't see many horses win from that position in the Curragh. Good stuff all round.

    No one else impressed with Round Two today?? Thought it was a brilliant performance and he will take some beating at Ascot.

    Talking of eurovision, i was told to back Serbia at 25/1, didn't do it. Serbia are now 5/1?!?

    I really hope they don't win it now after missing out on that price <doh>

    Last year I had a punt on eurovision for the first time, seeing a bearded lady(?) win it was enough to decide it'd also be the last time I'd bet on eurovision.

    The Coventry is the race I'm looking forward to most at Royal Ascot, I haven't made my mind up who I'm siding with yet. But the 3 that have impressed me most are Round Two, King Of Rooks and Log Out Island.

    I'm a big fan of Bolger so it'll be hard to go against him but the Hannon horses look pretty formidable this year, especially Log Out Island who made his debut in a hot class 2 at Ascot, and left a group of race experienced rivals for dead, in a very fast time.

    Ground will likely be key to which horse I decide to go with, as I'm not convinced Round Two would like it to quick, whilst Log Out Island looks to need faster ground. Hard to be sure with 2yos that have had so few runs though:biggrin:

    I really like SOAPY AITKEN. I know it was only a three runner race at Windsor but the runner up is useful and SOAPY made it look pedestrian. 10-1 for the Coventry is worth a few quid each way, will not be far away!

    He did it nicely- really nicely given the quality of some in behind him. I was more taken aback by Bolgers comments though than the actual performance.

    I think he'll be bang in the mix at Ascot but it's fiercely competitive so I'm not so keen on shortish prices on 2 Y O races. But he is exciting for sure.

    The form with Silver Wings reads pretty well Stick. Didn't see the race, but said he ran green, so looks on paper a very good 2nd run:biggrin:
