Really hope Ravens gets the fast ground it wants so it can show what it is made of. Henry will be hard to get past & rio does stand a decent chance also. It was never going to win the derby wouldnt stay IMO, also i think they wanted New Approach to win anyway as they will no doubt be involved in the stud arrangements.
Yes I saw your other post and I agree.

I think RDLP would've finished 4th in the Derby. But he travelled better than anything and the fact that he comes here relatively fresh he is entitled to be much shorter.

I agree about Ravens Pass but RDLP is probably the only horse in the field that is peaking right now.

I didn't think he was every going to me a 12f horse but I thought they may look after him enough for him to get 12f in the Derby - and only in the Derby. Similar to the ride Frankie gave Tobougg.

If I'm honest I think he is a 10f horse but there are no carrots at that distance for a 3yo.
