4.05 Ascot
Bullet Train: Pacemaker for Frankel who has done fine job;
Same asked of him again.
Cirrus Des Aigles: Announced himself as the top class Group
1 performer he’d been threatening to be for some time with victory in this last
year and gone from strength to strength since, winning Dubai Sheema Classic and
Prix Ganay in equally impressive style despite winning distances being vastly
different; As impressive as he’s ever been when winning Prix Dollar from
comeback by 9 lengths in heavy ground, and has his conditions today for all
that it’s not going to be that bad again; Facing greatest test in Frankel but
frightening to think that he might improve for his comeback after while off and
can throw down big challenge.
Frankel: Has confirmed himself to be one of the greats this
year with 4 more Group 1 wins, including a truly special demolition of top
class Excelebration (runs in QE11 earlier, winner of Jacques Le Marois) in
Queen Anne and first and only win at 10f in Juddmonte International latest; Far
and away clear of these on form and testing ground the only real obstacle, but
should retire (if he does so after this) unbeaten as one of the all-time greats
with 14 wins from 14 starts.
Master Of Hounds: Ran on strongly to win valuable 1m prize
on debut for this yard last month in Turkey but never run on slower than good
and huge amount to find anyway; Huge amount to find.
Nathaniel: Proven every bit as good at four as he was last
year when winning King George (also fifth in this behind Cirrus Des Aigles),
putting in unbelievable shift to win Eclipse on seasonal debut, before second
in King George (to last year’s Arc winner Danedream) and in Irish Champion (to
the top class Snow Fairy) before poor blood test robbed him of Arc chance. Goes
on this ground but third best on form and hard to see him reversing last year’s
form despite fact he’s a better horse this time around.
Pastorious: Shock winner of Germany derby but has proven
himself to be the best of his age Group in that nation by far, winning all aged
Group 1 by 8 lengths and then pushing Danedream as close as 1 length; 3yos been
sub-standard this year but deserving of this accolade

VERDICT: Despite soft ground his should be a memorable end
to the career of FRANKEL, who can retire as one of the great horses of all time
with 14 wins under his belt. Fittingly, his last race against French machine CIRRUS
DES AIGLES may be the one which tests him most of all, with Corrine Barande
Barbe’s mare having won his last four races on testing ground by long margins
totalling 36 lengths. Nathaniel should take third, so the tricast at 6/4 looks
to be the best value in this race, with Cirrus now 8/15 in the “without Frankel”
market, although he's already been advised beforehand during the week. Those looking for some
extra value should consider Frankel to win by under 6 lengths at 11/10 with
Ladbrokes.
*Cirrus is now back to 4/6 in the "Without Frankel Market" with Hills and that price is deserving of big support.
