rosallion ew at 7/2 and pray you get the good variance. looked a special horse when picking up very smartly to win in ireland the last day and has fitness on his side now which he did not have against notable speech in the guineas and just got beat for a bit of speed on first run in 200 days. very impressive at this track as a two year old so we know he will handle the course. ground almost got away from him in the curragh with the rain earlier in the day. no such worries here. there are no question marks. the other horse may just be very, very good but now has less things in his favour.
henry longfellow is a disgustingly short price. can win, maybe, but you are paying a ridiculous aidan o'brien premium for a horse who won some small field races as a juvenile. nothing went right in france the last day and you can put a line through it but these two horses are significantly better than anything in the field that day and i struggle to see henry longfellow winning this. if you're taking the 9/2 what the fuck are you thinking. this horse should be at least 8/1. probably a rocket ship and wins by half the track but i'm not paying that price to find out.
