Whats your thoughts on Tombi? doesnt seem much to go on in recent races, Mac Gille Eoin is the one thats been given to me as a tip.
Mac Gille Eoin has a shot but he's likely going to be making his own running on the far side (drawn 12) and i'm not convinced that he's on the right side.
Tombi is a good horse - his runs this year have been in better races (bar the Hamilton Park run) including when running subsequent G1 winner Regal Parade (won this last year) to a length off levels over 7f. He's also run well at York in the City of York Stakes (plenty of winners in front of him and a moral winner in Balcarce Nov, the race was near enough a Group 3 or poor Group 2 and he was slowly away). A fast run 6f should be good for him though he might get outpaced early on which is the danger and the good to firm (on the fast side of this IMO) will be right up his street.
Too big a price at the 40/1 for sure. Had a small bet on Kevin Ryan's Advanced who's a good horse on his day too.
