I agree with you Missy. Peeress is very much underrated over here (prob due to her lucky G1 win last year) but she beat the boys in the Lockinge last time fair and square and if she beats Proclamation, she'll have to be one the best milers around. I just believe he'll have to much class for her, but with Godolphin's shaky start and stating that he is a few weeks behind schedule, I wouldnt be skipping the queue to get 5/4. Kandidate came second in last years 2000 Guineas to Footstepsinthesand on rock hard ground. He completely lost his way after that but recently showed some signs of a revival.

In the St James's Palace, Ivan has been waiting for nearly a year to get really quick ground and the fact that Fallon has chosen him over a useful yeardstick in Marcus Andronicus has to be a positive..

Yeah I remember when Frankie made a bit of a howler with Dubawi and chose the wrong path down the straight mile at Newmarket. Happened before with Summoner beating Frankie and Noverre in the same race (but at its normal home of Ascot). 2001 I believe. They all let the rabbit take a nice lead, and he stayed there. incredible!
