    Wouldn't let the prep run put you off. If they run him in a 2000G there's likely plenty of pace on, so they will have used that run to try and teach him to settle. Hood being appplied too. Did decent work at finish.

      Kev are you still very confident about Magna Grecia after the news that Ryan Moore is riding Ten Sovereigns?? I’m still undecided, Frankie was full of praise for Advertise earlier in the week??

        I wouldn't say I've ever been very confident

        Donnacha O'Brien is superb as well, so not bothered - he did well enough on Saxon Warrior last year.



        Yes I see Frankie is talking up his own mount... what else would he say though.... Advertise looks short to me, but then again, it isn't like you'd be scared of Magna Grecia is it...

            Madhmoon 33/1 and Set Piece 25/1 are my two bets in this. Not a race I ever get carried away with and it'll be a quiet few weeks until Royal Ascot.

            Also got Madhmoon at 40/1 for the Derby so I could do with a good showing.

              I backed him at 12/1 each way. been lucky so far as most main rivals have fallen away... I wouldn't back him at his current price

              So I'll just stick with that.


              Tempted to back Madhmoon for the Derby though like F_M has.

                Ok cheers Kev, I hope you don’t mind me pestering you but I’ll be having a bet anyway and would rather back a horse with some substance and genuine confidence than following the media tips. I’m still swaying towards Royal Marine but only on a hunch and no real conviction so will probably back both MG & RM

                  No problem - I'll be waiting until the day to see what bookies offers / enhanced places are on offer.

                  I do like Set Piece too but missed the price that Ista and FM highlighted.

                    Top tipping Kev, I appreciate it, only had a point on Magna Grecia and wish I had committed more but he smashed that, he looked a machine from half way

                      I am always happy when Donnacha rides in the big races, he is so often in the right place, and judging the pace well.

                        Thanks TKP.

                        Nice when a long term punt pays off.

                        I backed a couple of others on the day that ate into my profit though...
