![]() Lots of money for Formal Decree throughout the morning. Looks like a bold show is expected of him.
Might also have been the reason for Blue Ksar getting scratched. Still Zaham for me, with Kandidate being the danger if he is in the right mood.

![]() I like Zaham here too, don't know a great deal about the horse but he was so impressive at Ascot.

This is his toughest race so far (graded wise), but he receives a lot of weight from Formal Decree and Kandidate and i think that will prove the difference between winning and losing. He is only about 6/4 though, so i don't think i will bet him.

![]() The betting patterns are suggesting that Zaham has lost a leg and Formal Decree has got an extra one.
I don't like betting in races when Godolphin and Sheikh Hamdan both have runners, you never really know when that happens. On betting alone you have to say that Formal Decree has already won!

![]() Zaham leads early, Hearthstead maison second
Both formal decree and kandidate very keen early (why isn't kandidate leading?) Zaham still leads, formal decree closed to third. entering the straight Zaham travels well, followed by hearthstead maison formal decree third Formal dcree gets the lead Very messy race, zaham get sandwiched. Halicarnassus comes from a mile back to fly by and take it, squashing hearthstead maison and zaham in the process.

![]() Shocked by the result, but he did it nicely in the end.
Formal Decree held on for second from Zaham in third. Winner was by far the best horse today though, even if he did squeeze up the third and fourth horses. Edit: Kandidate was very disappointing, i don't know why he didn't lead early? He is becoming a very frustrating horse
