    Reported in RP today that Skitter Skatter tore a muscle.

    ......and that Lady K goes sprinting. I think this is premature. I'd give her a rattle in the Coronation first to see if she gets a mile. + she now has Calyx and Ten Sovereigns to contend with.

    I reckon if she doesn't get the mile at Newmarket she's got no chance of getting it at Ascot.

    One thing I noted before the race on Sunday was that AOB didn't accompany Just Wonderful out on to the course, as he tends to do with the main hope. I decided it didn't really matter too much as there appeared to be two bouncers taking her out but I didn't see which filly he did accompany. I've got it recorded and plan to check again today to see if it was actually televised.

    As you say up there in your third verdict- the case is still not proven and won't be if she is dedicated to sprints..

    It's always been my understanding that RM gets first pick on Coolmore rides. It may well he chooses one with an eye to the future, which seems to happen a lot in various gp1's around the world.
