Spring ground even over the longer trip not mentioned in the reasoning a tad surprising. He shapes like he stays but he don't half get outpaced on decent ground and If like day 1 last year he might have to do a Corach on such a surface.

Thanks Gentlemen. I really appreciate your support.
I'm sorry it wasn't a bigger price, and regret not going a week ago. Galahad made me more cautious than I should have been, and I was unnecessarily double dotting the I's and double crossing the T's.
It won't matter when he wins of courseLuck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

Is there something about this year/this horse specifically which has meant you are happy to discount that unknown?
The race is full of horses that have run over the trip each year, and most that haven't aren't really serious contenders at all, and are on an owners day out.
Nassalam is stoutly enough bred to appreciate the trip, and likely be better over it. And he already runs as though three miles is what he needs.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.
