    Ah he's soft now Oddy. Looks nice on the bridle but in a proper race when he needs to find he'll clean ya. Reminds me of that other Hendo dodgepot who got turned over in that race last year at evens lol

    I've worked out what to do. I pick who I think should win. I then regard that one as a NR and start again. Repeat until only one horse left.

    Beaten by a tougher horse (with a tougher jockey). Dunno, just never liked Tinkler, can't warm to him at all for whatever reason.

    Gleneagles only has to be a Group 1 horse to win the Guineas by the looks of things, it has never looked a particularly strong Guineas at any stage with this crop. Consort was my pick and with him out I was hoping something might announce itself in the trials but I have seen nothing that even whispered Guineas winner never mind screamed it! Gleneagles doesnt appear to be anything out of the ordinary but he won 2 Group 1s last year and the form is solid if unspectacular, race looks his for the taking unless someone is going straight there with something we dont know about. Ill be in Vegas on Guineas weekend so glad im not missing much here, meanwhile one of the best Kentucky Derbys for a long time will be run the same day over there.

    Won by
    Won by just over a length, SP was 6/1. Should be winning more handicap hurdles over staying distances providing the going isn't soft or worse.
