A quality 2500m staying contest heads a well patronised London Bridge Racecourse twelve-race programme today. In a race where fitness clouds one of the runners, Secret Trojan, Reds Tokyo Ghoul, Champagne Wishes and Addie Over Dan look the ones to fight it out. Barking Assembly is one we shouldn’t ignore, while Cronus will be off like a dirty shirt when the gates are sprung and he will be aiming to go all the way.

Stable comments: – “If Trojan can reproduce her Masters run she’ll be right there are the business end. I feel that Reds Tokyo Ghoul, Champagne Wishes and Addie Over Dan are the major runners in the race. Cronus would have been tough if not for injury in the heat.”

Stable comments: – “Ghoul has gone through some major changes since I came back to the game and he is finally looking something like a race horse! His semi final run raised a few eyebrows and I feel threw his name into the mix as a challenger. It’ll be tough to take down the Masters winner in Secret Revolutions Trojan however”.

Stable comments: – “Shaping up to be a very nice race this one. Dan has been in some good form coming off two 2nds in cup finals with one being against Trojan in the Masters, in the that race Dan got stuck out wide and lost time on the corners so will be hoping to get on the rail nice and early here. High hopes for this race but Trojan, Champagne and Red all strong contenders. Cronus with the injury will struggle I think.”

Stable comments: – “Thanks for the good luck wishes. For sure looks like a competitive cup and from my point of view I am happy to have reached the final and still have my best horse fresh in the final. But of course looking at the competition I have to satisfied if I get some money back home, but of course once in the box we go there to win
