One of themajor meetings of the year, run over the fairest flat track on this sceptered isle.
A few thoughts on the first day:
Gunmetal (1.55) ran a blinding trial over 5f of this track in a hot h'cap in May, coming from stone last to finish close-up behind Duke Of Firenze. Joe Fanning, who knows the horse and the course well, takes the ride.
His low draw's a slight worry, but the strong pace and the extra half furlong might mitigate that.
12/1 freely available as I write.
Makawee 4.15 has improved since stepped up to this trip, running Mancini to a hd on his first try over it (same terms tomorrow, but the latter has a poor draw for a prominent racer). Probably didn't last home on soft ground latest, but showed enough to suggest he'll be too classy for these.
10/1 generally.
Also done the e.w. double, which would be a fine start to a cracking meeting.
