The Flat's biggest race (after the Arc) takes place tomorrow and whilst it's always a great contest to watch the absence of winter favourite St Nicholas Abbey has hit the race (and my fecking pocket:() hard.

Nevertheless there is some value in the race as the usual hype trainers (Stoute, Cecil and O'Brien) all have animals in the race that dominate the market even though horses at bigger odds have as much chance as any. One of these, Coordinated Cut, is way too big at around 20/1 and has excellent place preospects.
 
Workforce at 11/2 did very nicely today. :)

A record time too, left the favourite standing.
