There looks to be a significant chance that there could be a few shocks in this race as the fav is drawn on the wing and I’m not convinced by many here. Cougar Mountain  wants a really quick 1 mile on good/firm and that is I’m what he will get today . On this years form he would appear to have no chance but he has run good races in stronger groups 1 than this before and 50/1 is value .

Cotai Glory will have only 1 big target this year and that is today . He was second for us last year at a huge price and is available again at a big looking 33/1 with 4 places .  If he has normal improvement from 4-5 and also finds a couple of pounds on faster ground he has a decent chance here . 33/1 is value for race form here over the years .

Surprise surprise , this is the easiest pick of the week . Lancaster Bomber is about 6/4 to place here on decent ground and 25/1 is silly .

Suegioo looks the classiest horse in this race and with it being such a tight handicap he isn’t giving much weight to anything here . He looks a near certainty to be in the first 5 places . Both his group form last year and gradual improvement this year in handicaps makes a strong case for him here . 22/1 with 5 places seems too big.

Us Navy Flag wasn’t that far behind Brother Bear in Ireland after showing speed early on ground that would be too soft . If he gets the usual improvement fir far ground he is certainly bred to take a hand here at a huge price . I think it’s somewhat significant that he is coming at all as he won’t be a pacemaker in this race .
