He a huge prospect alright, I didnt like the way he edged left under pressure though. That cant be a advantage in March where he might have the likes of Cousin Vinny to deal with..

I get the impression Cousin Vinny will go for the Supreme and, for all he's a very good horse, I would fancy Diamond H over him in the Ballymore every time, seemingly more impressed than everyone else with him today, inconvenienced both by the lack of pace and where Murphy opted to go with him in the straight and, whilst he lugged a bit initially, he didn't do anything wrong after the last, keeping a dead straight line under pressure. And it's not as if Murphy went for everything, anyway; there's plenty more to come in my opinion, principally over fences, but this season too. We shouldn't forget, either, that Bensalem is a very good horse himself, and they pulled well clear.

As things stand he's my Festival banker, perhaps with Kasbah Bliss behind him. Who are you fancying at present, Kev?
