Famous last words, but this has the look of a three horse race,
Sire De Grugy, Captain Conan and Somersby.I agree Ginger, same as the John Durkan on Sunday… Ripe for a cheeky each way double?
I’ve doubled Arvika Ligeonniere with Captain Conan. If both place I’ll get my stake back and if both win it returns very near 5/1 for the total amount staked.
I’m still a slightly concerned about Henderson’s first time out but Captain Conan has won first time out the past two seasons. He won the novices’ Grade 1 on this card last season also, I think the drop in trip will suit him.
I wouldn’t be too concerned with the "first time out" record THM. When a stable is yet to hit top form its horses tend to need the run. It seems Henderson is in better form now "full stop".
You’re probably right Ginger, Captain Conan goes well fresh anyway so wouldn’t worry me enough to put me off a bet.
