Not a brilliant race for a group one at all.

I'd like to think that Sir Gerry would take plenty of beating in this.

shocking field for this.. I think Rock of Rochelle has a great each way chance.

Dreadful race, isn't it. A Group 1 of Group 3 standard i'd say. Sir Gerry is the best of these, but the form of his York win does look far from solid. However, he was easily the best that day, and i expect him to win this. Odds will be cramped though.

I don't know much about Rock Of Rochelle in all honesty, what can you tell me about him?

Dream Eater, but only because i've only heard of three of these horses.

Dark Angel wins a dreadful race...
