Need a bit of luck in running, but do you have anything that might be an each-way chance?

Yeah, look, th- th- again, yeah, very interesting race.

Obvious- of course, the Cambridgeshire, it's one of the big handicaps of the whole season.

Um- Gavril of the, the Gosdens' favourite, and you can see why.

Like, he's a really, a really exciting horse.

He's only had four runs.

Really lightly raced horse for, um, such a competitive race, and, you know, he's...

This is gonna be a real ding-dong battle, and we're gonna know a lot about next year, I think, after this one.

Do you have a view on this Cambridge here at 3:40 on Saturday, a mile and a furlong, good ground, big field, need a bit of luck in running, but do you have anything that might be an each-way chance?

Yeah, look, th- th- again, yeah, very interesting race.

Of, of course, the Cambridge here, it's one of the big handicaps of the whole season.

Um, Gavril of the, the Gosdens is favorite, and you can see why.

Like, he's a really, a really exciting horse.

He's only had four runs, really lightly raced horse for, um, such a competitive race, and, you know, he's...

Going back to what we were talking about earlier on, he's got all the potential, um, has to prove that he can operate in a big field handicap, and John Gosden has previous in this regard.

This is gonna be a real ding-dong battle, and we're gonna know a lot about next year, I think, after this one.

He's been carefully planned, and he's the 5-4 favourite at the moment.

yeah like he's uh he's the one they have to be at disney um like there's not much not to like about him he won a list of this over a mile and a half at the car at the guineas meeting and then he went back the last day in the international stakes at the irish derby meeting he dropped down to 10 furlongs and he won well again he'd be trust your instinct has enhanced the forum since and i think the step back up to a mile and a half would be a positive for him he did have the option of the champion stakes over 10 furnace it shows you the regard in which they hold them and in fairness everett well has never tried to hide that so it's going to be interesting to for for his his his program for the rest of the season i know the breeders club turf is on his radar he could be an arc horse either he does he does like to get his toe in a little bit so the ground is probably going to be ideal probably just on the easy side of good so yeah look he's he's a he's a really exciting horse and he's he's potentially a group one winner in waiting but this is a good stepping stone for him and as such he dominates the market um i thought green impact was interesting in there against him just carrying his horse he loves leopard's town he's run here four times he's won three times and was only just beaten last time by ethical diamond um and even the last day against ethical diamond He came under a ride kind of early enough in the home straight, but he finished off his race really well.

I think Alain, of course, is the Breeders' Cup turf winner.

So that was a big run.

And Green Impact back at Leopardstown, the Jessica Harrington team, they do really well at this meeting.

They rarely go away without at least one winner.

They had a fantastic year about four years ago.

Don, would you agree with Mark with the assessment of Blue Bolt versus Precise here? Yeah, this is a

But Don, why is he gonna win this?

Yeah.

I just c- can't see past him, Tom, really.

Um, I know that last, last year he finished second behind Witness Tam, but that was such a messy race.

He got, he got too far back in the field.

The front three, whatever crowding there was on the run to the turn, the front three just got a break on the rest of them.

It wasn't a, a race that was run overly quickly.

Don Maclean, first of all, who do you like in the Plate?

that on James J. Braddock?

Yeah, not a huge amount, Tom.

Look, the derby, it's...

There's so many unknowns going into it.

It comes up quite early in the season, actually.

It's remarkable.

You look back at the end of the season and the derby seems like a long way away, but it does.

Don, your selection is ground-dependent?

yeah i'd have a small e3 and squire o'hara john might stick with you then because are you going to go with um panda boy then in the big hunters chase

I was between Panda Boy and Asian Master.

It's a really interesting race.

As Johnny said, it's on the line, it's in there.

He's won this race for the last three years and just can't get it done at Cheltenham.

He keeps on finishing second at Cheltenham.

This year, yeah, he underperformed at Cheltenham for whatever reason.

about you Don is the first leg of that short price travel a good thing the only one I could possibly make a I mean, and then you're worried, you're trying to make a, you know, a case for Calicanti and you're like, really, am I making a case for Calicanti against Dino Blue? But what about you?

Is there anything that you might put up against Teopu or is Teopu your selection?

Yeah, no, I definitely see the angle for Jimmy Desai.

He hasn't run over hurdles since he won that Coral Cup back last season, that Shetland last season.

I kind of had him on side in the early part of this year.

Like he was so impressive in beating the big Westerner on his chasing down at Ferry House, but he didn't really go on from that.

And I was kind of putting it down to the ground, but...

And I suppose in the Willow Worm Gold Cup at Ferry House, it was kind of soft ground that day as well.

Skylord today at about 11-1.

When you're looking at this race, what do you see, Don McLean?

I see a race in which you can make cases for many.

I agree with what Johnny said, but this is the way.

She's a lovely mare and Yvonne and Andrew Latta, they're very astute operators.

She won the Red Mills auction hurdle final there at Punchestown last year.

A good pot for them.

Fahd Adrin, you can make a case for him.

Is that an exaggeration, Don McLean, or do you see this one as potentially a special one?
