      The same chap who Tweeted this has said he expects Tower Of London to have a too low a racing weight for Ryan to ride him so Ryan will still ride Vauban.

        Just one more reason to wait for the weights.

          No need Archie. There's only going to be one winner whatever they throw at him. He'll be 5/2 fav after the weights come out.

            Sounds about right as most will surely be running off the minimum weight but out of the handicap.

                    Absurde going as well then. Frankie's 20th attempt at winning the race. I'd prefer him on ours.

                        Desert Hero may go to MC with Royals keen for runners in Australia. Another spanner in the works. Handicapper nightmare job.

                            3 year olds got nice weights on first glance I reckon. Both Desert Hero and Tower of London seemed reasonably treated.

                              SHARP 'N' SMART The NZ HOTY gets a nice weight and looks a fair each way chance at 25/1

                                Vauban 55kg/8s6lbs. What I was expecting, genuinely think he'll make a mockery of that, hopefully from the front like Twilight Payment did in 2020. He carried 8s10lbs that day off a mark of 115 which seemed to accurately reflect his ability. Vauban demolished the field at Ascot off a mark of 101 and then pissed up over a trip shorter than ideal off 114. It's impossible not to think his flat mark isn't going in an upward trajectory.
