Hughes is on Census due to his loyalties to the Hannon camp. Census is a live threat to the favourite though. SMS wants rain to fall on Doncaster before Saturday. Can't see Seville winning, has no turn of foot whatsoever and, as John Gosden has said, a horse that hasn't got a turn of foot will probably be done for toe going for home or completely left out the back - stayer or non stayer. Make what you want of those stats but to say RVW and Cape Blanco aren't in the proven group 1 category is ridiculous. All horses take their racing differently. STS was a freak and just look at the International Twice Over won; only really had one opponent on the day.At the minute for me, a no bet race. Not getting suckered in to the hype on the favourite like I did with Rewilding last year; according to some quarters he only had to turn up to win this, a mere racecourse gallop en-route to taking the Arc apparently. Will only back Sea Moon if I feel he has enough in his favour.
If Blue Bunting stays this extra 2f, she has Leger specialist Dettori on board, and will certainly not give in if it becomes a battle to the line. Masked Marvel could also have a big say, tough race to call.
