13:20 Lulamba
Palladium was a late non runner and I was looking forward to riding him. I’ve seen Lulamba school at Nicky Henderson’s when I was there and he’s the horse to beat. This is a very exiting race and while East India Dock is the solid one because we’ve seen how good he is, if I could pick a ride in this race I’d side with Lulamba. His performance at Ascot was almost freakish.
14:40 Dinoblue
Dinoblue will go off favourite and she will be very hard to beat.
15:20 Ma Shantou (each-way)
I’ll be riding Ma Shantou for Emma Lavelle and he’s got a little chance. I’ve won this race twice and on both occasions I was riding straightforward horses who had loads of stamina. You don’t need too much class as a slogger will win this race. Ma Shantou is hardy, he jumps and he’s slightly overpriced.
16:00 Galopin Des Champs
Galopin Des Champs is different class and there isn’t anything else in here that can beat him in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. There isn’t even a tactical way that he gets beaten. I love the way he tries, he’s a brilliant horse and you’d give your right arm to have one like him in your yard.
