this is a real tricky one. Has APOB improved USR enough to reverse form with Tariq in Ascot. the ground will probably have a bit more cut, so he may well do, as long as he has taken last weeks race in his stride. Welsh Emperor was 2nd here last year (albeit a weaker race!) but he wouldnt be the worst each way bet if its soft. THe big problem i have with french racing is that it can be tricky to actually know what the ground is like. their "soft" is very different to out "soft"

Although Tariq's good form has come on a fast surface, he is by Kyllachy, who went on soft and if you cast your mind back to his debut, Tariq was a very impressive winner of a Newmarket maiden and the ground was very soft that day. I don't think it will be proper French 'soft', if that makes sense. If the same racing surface was over here i think they would be calling it good to soft, soft in places.

Disappointed with Tariq, but that race was very tricky. I forgot all about it so i only saw the result. What is the ground looking like?

I just went to look and my heart sank to see him listed as an "also ran".
I didn't expect he'd win but yeah... today is not a good day. |
