    Can't give Beckford away on the machine at present, I wonder if being by Bated Breath the ground isn't up his alleyway.

    Wouldn't be worried about Beckford price-he was a big price when he won his maiden.Really looking forward to this race-have laid Murillo for a place at 4/9.Commander Grigio to win-Folk Tale each way.

    Imagine pricing that race and thinking the Hannon horse should be shorter than Beckford. Happiest man in the world right now in Declan McDonogh who was really down in the dumps this year with his lack of oppurtunities.

    Would be nice to see Decky double up in the last.

There is no way the Ballydoyle duo should have such a big price discrepancy given Murillo (Scat Daddy) needs fast group and makes a quick reappearance after Ascot. Rostropovich at 12/1 is a much better bet as he's so unexposed and is likely to be ridden closer the pace. Overall I want to be with Beckford at 6/1 as his maiden win was super impressive and he's improved for it. He smashed Monkeylou on the gallops on Tuesday. Commander Grigilo will need to improve but you can't say one is the wrong price and not the other. I'd have had them 4/1 and 11/2 in the betting.
    That's what a real gallop report looks like too...

    Stanghow ran a lovely race to get placed at 16/1. Just got done for a bit of speed in final 50 yards.

    Well done. You're a good judge of the big races.

    Aerlite Supreme looks overpriced at 18/1 for the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3.30) with Paddy paying 5 places.
