Originally posted by Robbante View PostNo real excuse for that performance at ascot, he was a bit free I guess. If you consider horses for courses though he beat Shantou Flyer and Coo Star Sivola 20 lengths back at Cheltenham on this track over heavy in January.. that’s serious enough form given their runs this week. I don’t think frodon was given a hard time at ascot, for cue card to run up to that level again after a gruelling race there at 12 years old, can’t see it
I think if Cue Card reproduces something near to that Ascot run he wins. He can be sent forward in the knowledge he stays but I suspect they are going to have to hold on to Un De Sceaux. I don't see him winning but the race style of Balko Des Flos might be a bigger danger to Cue Card than Un De Sceaux.

Originally posted by kinloch brae View PostI worry about wide margin wins on dire ground. A strict interpretation of that Cheltenham does look good but but for me there was only one horse at the races that day. I would far sooner take the Ascot race as a more solid reflection of their relative merits.

Unbelievable performance from balko des flos. I though He was q rotten price and still not big enough today. Where did he hide that performance.
Very well done to backers.https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

There was no real support for Cue Card and I suspect they probably knew. Sad to go out like that.
Hard to know if the Ascot run has just taken its toll because Frodon might well have just been outclassed.
The winner has won comfortably. Bearing in mind the last winner also probably wanted better ground maybe the ground isn't that bad?
