That was a decent run from the selection who pulled hard early doors and, according to his jockey, was reluctant to stride out on the ground as they raced into the dip. <br />The big disappointment was even money favourite St Nicholas Abbey who raced prominently but, when asked for his effort two out, failed to quicken and finished sixth. Connections were not too despondent but, with all the hype beforehand, plenty of punters will be this evening. <br />Harry Redknapp gave Radio 5 Live listeners his verdict on Tottenham's 1-0 defeat of Bolton before asking on air what had happened to the favourite in the Guineas. Finished sixth came the reply. Harry's retort - never mind, Michael Tabor has told me the horse will win the Derby. This evening St Nicholas Abbey is a best-priced 4/1 shot with Ladbrokes if you're tempted - I'm not.<br />Pat Eddery's Hearts Of Fire (40/1) was asked for his effort two out but weakened in the final furlong and finished thirteenth.GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
