Where was it said he pulled him out of the Gr3 because he had worked so well? If that became public knowledge, Aidan could get into a lot of trouble (well, a lerge enough fine, at least). Personally, I just think he is the nearly horse, his strike rate is nothing more than terrible. I know he has run at the highest level, but with so many '2's next to his name, you have to wonder.
The Lockinge is another of these races that usually go by the stats. Some of these have never won at a mile, never mind won a Gr race at a mile, and that is usually needed in this race. Course form is also a bonus.
Fillie have had quite a good record in this in recent years, and with all the other stats, I'm going for Majestic Roi at a big price, with the stable seemingly in top form now (started very slowly this year). Channon was very unlucky not to have saddled a classic winner, his horses are in very good heart now.
I will having a decent e/w bet on her.
