That's very possible in theory as the only bookies with prices atm are bottom feeders, but if he wins that race again at Newmarket on Saturday I'm not so sure.

Great Ambassador taken out of both engagements this weekend.
I presume that means full steam ahead for Ayr although it also holds an entry in the Haydock Sprint Cup.
Illegitimi non carborundum
Surely not going to Haydock. No chance there
'Outside' rather than 'no', I'd say. I got round the other night to logging up my figures for the Stewards' Cup and his was quite a performance.
As I said at the time, when it comes to races that split wide apart, I usually rate them as two distinct races and mark up the disadvantaged side - sometimes doing so suggests there was no advantage - accordingly. In this case, GA has put up a career best despite meeting trouble in running and emerges a better horse on my ratings than Commanche Falls.
On the other hand, I do suspect the Haydock entry was/is a speculative one in case he won at Goodwood and ended up on a prohibitive mark for Ayr.

It's all to do with giving your horse it's best chance to win, the Mullins mantra. He's an 8 or 10s poke for the Ayr race, I would say a fair price for Haydock would be 25s plus. Same with Jumby on Saturday - his trainer has him in the Hungerford (25/1 shot imo) whereas he'd be near enough fav at Ripon.
Ayr gold cup.
Silver samurai 22/1 boosted from 20s w.hill.

ALLIGATOR ALLEY runs tomorrow and is 11/8 in a poor race and I'm wondering if this is to get a penalty or go up in the ratings to get in the SYMPHONY GROUP HCAP at york next wednesday.a £51,000 race to the winner.
So I've took the chance 25/1
Rebel Romance runs in a Group One at Hoppegarten on Sunday over 1M4F. Should have a live chance.
Clipper Logistics 5day out. Pleased to see some 3yos remain.

Because it's more valuable, it'll be a stiffer test than York and his sire loved cut.
