    How did Philips miss that! Blackpool on top but no score yet, if anyone cares! I want Blackpool up, but for purely selfish reasons, not coz I'm a tangerine :)

    The Nile in the next - need this one!

    Just wondering lads - what would Frankel have to do today to get his official rating increased? I'd think he'd need to slam the field 10 lengths with the others running to their marks. Hard to see really, I would think this will be more like a "workmanlike" performance, probably a 2L victory.

    If Excelebration comes clear of the rest and Frankel batters Excelebration then it's not impossible that his rating would increase. Unlikely that today is the day though I would have thought.

    Glad i'm not playing on the tote on the fancied runners at HQ.

    Mince wins at 3/1 and pays £2.80 on the tote,Thought Worthy returned 15/8 and pays £2.00,Aljamaaheer wins at 10/3 and pays £3.20.

    Disgraceful.

    Surely Excellebration won't get as close this time - although the way he was closing in the St James .........

    Would be nice if Ransom Note runs a big race for connections following their experiences in the 1000gns. But obviously, come on Frankel!

    He's 2/7 and will win accordingly...EOS.

    Absolutely nothing to suggest he won't.
