        With Constitution Hill not running due to unsuitable ground…

          • Mystical Power is the most interesting entry . Do we see him running?

            • From sporting life.....


              The Fighting Fifth was namechecked after Mystical Power's Punchestown win so the race is not an afterthought; the son of the much-loved Annie Power improved with each start in the spring and brings potential to the table but he has the best part of 20lb to find on official ratings.

              Maybe his entry is a serious one ?

                • Brilliant write up re Fighting 5th and Constitution Hill in particular by Ian Ogg in SL.

                  • The problem with some of them running in it is they end up too close to Constitution Hill (20 lengths could be too close) and the handicapper needlessly puts their mark up and ruins their season.

                    They won't want Golden Ace to face him first up when they can go for an easier mares race.

                    Brighterdaysahead - surely they've learnt their lesson after Samcro.

                    Mystical Power - I can see him coming if Willie wants to pick up the prize money for 2nd and possibly 1st if CH bombs out.

                    Sir Gino goes chasing.

                    Tellherthename didn't get entered for the Greatwood so doubt he turns up here.

                    I don't think any of the others are worthy of winning a grade 1.

                          Astonishing I'd say........never thought I'd use that word.

                          He was 1/12 when he last ran/won.

                          Clearly they are taking him on. Might regret it.

                            A small question mark over his health and a massive question mark about the ground for me. It’s good to firm there currently with 11 dry and sunny days and 3 mizzley days predicted in the next 2 weeks. I’d make him odds against to run.

                              Surely they'll pump the water on to get him to race? They need punters to turn up at the course. Good point though.
