The Grey Gatsby's fine win in the Jockey Club on Sunday was a nice boost for the Dante form so my confidence in True Story for the Derby this coming Saturday was enhanced but the forecast rain is a worry and it looks a tough ask. I can't find any angle in the Oaks for a bet but have taken a position in the Coronation Cup. Ruler of the World has drifted to a backable price probably due to his owners selling a 50% share in him and the perception that that in some way is a knock on him as a racehorse. I don't buy that at all and think it's purely down to the fact that Coolmore probably have more Galileo's than they have staff. He's a course and distance winner who's class was proven when he ran a fine race in the Champion Stakes last October and I think the prices at the top of the market (Cirrus Des Aigles is 7/4, ROTW 5/2) are the wrong way round. The French gelding is in great form this season but is better at distances short of 12f. Flintshire is my Arc horse at this stage but if the rain arrives I doubt he'd run.
