BATTLE OF MARENGO has front-run in the past but recent tactics have been to hold him up so whether they want to revert back to old tactics is debatable. Here is the how the past 10 winners of the race have run in the race Running Style fr-1 / cp-2 / hu-7

Glorious Stakes Summary Dosage & Trends COMBINED shortlist (Total possible score 10) HILLSTAR 10/10 (Non-Runner) BATTLE OF MARENGO 9/10 The next group consists of 6 horses on 7/10 (!?) so I m not going to try and pick them apart now Hillstar is a N/R. Most likely winner HILLSTAR would have definitely filled this slot so it s extremely disappointing he is now a N/R. Alternative(s) BATTLE OF MARENGO (D Simcock) This simply does not look much of a race with the fav out of it and as such I m happy to take a swipe at decent odds on this lad. He looked a serious player last year when with Aiden O Brien, winning the Derby trial at Leopardstown, finishing 4 th in the Derby by just under 2 lengths and then getting nabbed late on by Hillstar in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot, and a return to any of those three bits of form would see him be bang there in this. He disappointed on his last start at Longchamp last season before finding himself with David Simcock (via the yard of Ernst Oertel). He had two starts at Meydan, which he clearly didn t enjoy, before making a return to these shores with a down the field effort in the Doom Bar Stakes at Newbury last month. That was his first run for over 4 months and he most likely needed it. That run will hopefully have brought him on and with him having a record of 1111 in fields of 7 or less (1111127 in 8 or less fields) and a record of 3111 in Aug & Sept I ll take a punt he can bounce back to form here. In truth I ve probably written a hell of a lot for a horse that could easily bomb out but at hefty prices and with not too distant back class to fall upon I m happy to take a flyer on him.

Thoroughbred Stakes Summary Dosage & Trends COMBINED shortlist (Total possible score 12) SHIFTING POWER 11/12 LIGHTNING THUNDER 11/12 BOW CREEK - 9/12 HORS DE COMBAT 9/12 Most likely winner SHIFTING POWER (R Hannon) This is a race the Hannon s target (3 winners in the last 10 renewals) and they have a strong contender here in the shape of Shifting Power. He has done precious little wrong in his career and a run to the level of any of his last 3 starts will surely see him take this. The 2000 Guineas form is clearly strong, form in the Irish 2000 Guineas is also pretty decent and it s hard to crab his G1 form in France last time out. His last two runs have been on fairly testing ground and this return to better should be more suitable and he rates as the one to beat. Alternative(s) BOW CREEK (M Johnston) This Shamardal colt ran a huge race in the Brittania Handicap at Royal Ascot last time out from a mark of 104 and deserves this first try at Group level. The Johnston horses have been in fine fettle this week and this is a race they have won twice in recent years so we can expect this lad to be primed for the occasion.
