Rumours in town are that Ibn has an injury...... their official statement said they were giving him a break, hence why he isn't running, but there have been rumours. Nothing concrete, though. We shall see.
Really like Captain Gerrard in the sprint. I'm not a fan of backing 3yo sprinters against the older horses, but the way he won last time suggests he could be top class in this division this year. He will handle the easy ground and looks like a speed ball.
Would love to see Natagora win the French Derby, but I just don't think her stamina will last out over this distance. She also has Frankie to contend with now. Thewayyouare will improve for the step up in trip, and if I had to choose one, it would probably be him.
