Unwrittain Rule

I thought Washington ran well that day, 1st time out. We all know how his improve for the run, and he confirms he's come on well since.

I think he'll win on Sunday

Which horse are you on about arnold, I'm confused??

My point in asking was, if I'm not mistaken (which I might be!?) hasnt Unwritten Rule since been beaten easily by Hebridean last sunday?

And Hebridean was beaten comfortably by Moiqen, Therefore (assuming I'm remembering all these lines of form correctly!???) then Moiqen has strong claims yet is nearly three times the price of Washington Irving.

As I say though, this is all off of the top of my head so if I am wrong I stand corrected!!

farmer, you might just change your tune about Curtain Call afer tommorrow at Lingfield. And that 7/1 for the biggy at Epsom may look pretty generous in 24 hrs time.

I think Moiqen does look overpriced considering what he's done, and if he wins on Sunday, i'm sure will be a lot shorter. Backed him at 50-1 today before the price might collapse.

Farmer..if you take the form literally then Curtain Call has the edge on Twice Over...as Curtain Call split New Approach and HenrytheNavigator last season,finishing 3 lengths behind the winner,who was 4 lengths plus in front of Ravens Pass last week...so using those formlines as a guide..Twice Overs' short head win over Ravens Pass gives him a length or two to find !!

Also,as I've posted before,Cumani is due his ten year anniversary Derby winner,and is plotting the same path towards it !!

Never fear about New Approach though...he WILL be back for compensation and more !!!

Those at Coolmore think Washington Irving is a very decent horse (apparently Magnier had Ł1m on him last time out when he was beaten by a short head!) Don't put it past Aidan to "slip another one under the radar"!! And as for Rio de la Plata: the Godolphin horses are flopping all over the place!

Don't forget that Cecil has his doubts about Twice Over staying 1m 4f and I think there is still a very real chance that he could end up at Chantilly over a more appropriate trip.

Cecil ducked the Guineas so I've no doubts he will duck Epsom if he doesn't feel it's the right race.

I don't have a particularly strong opinion on the Derby at this stage but would just favour Curtain Call at this stage if forced to have a bet.

A shame he is not running at Lingfield this afternoon as it would have been very informative.

However, the fact Cumani is treating this horse with kid gloves just shows (IMO) how highly he rates this horse and does not want to risk getting him jarred up before Epsom.
