Stats: Most popular pick in the comp is Coronet 11/16; NB is True Belief 7/16 Coronet also has the most naps (3) and True Belief just one. El Astro for me in the first TV race
Knew it wouldn't last lol ITV team having fun with the name Afaak Steveo and Simon doing well in comp. Sound and Silence for me.
Send Afaak to the nearest French restaurant – on a plate! It never wins when I back it and I did not fancy it today after the stinker last time when the other Hamdan Al Maktoum runner won.
If Roaring Lion goes to Epsom, it will surely just be a rematch of the Racing Post Trophy. Given the fact that the grey was worried out of it by the Ballydoyle colt on Town Moor, what grounds are there for thinking he will turn the tables? Surely a trip to Chantilly for the Prix du Jockey Club is more likely...
Cheers for the good wishes everyone. On the bus back into town but had a cracking day as always when I am up here. Thought Coronet and Roaring Lion were seriously impressive - and as I left you could hear Fisherman's blues
York is a complete and utter graveyard for me over the last few years i've noticed, no matter what i back or how good something looks on paper it just doesn't get close
