A fascinating of this renewal of the Lockinge. This race has been won by some real superstars in the past including the amazing Hawkwing, Russian Rhythm and Aljabr, but it has also been won by some beasts that you end up scratching your head about wondering how, and why they won.

I'm tipping up the supposed Aidan O'Brien second string horse here for a number of reasons. Last year he won the French 2000 guineas when he was the O'brien 4th string, and under todays jockey he won a very rough race with 14 runners in it, and I just have a feeling that he will run a big race under his usual jockey at a big price. He ran really well after the French guineas without actually winning again. He ran only in group 1 races, and had some good efforts when campaigned about the world including France again and America. There are many imponderables in the race, including the O'brien first string, and likely favourite Haradasun who has changed hemispheres from Australia to be in the irish maestros care now. A fascinating race and one with which to have a small interest in at very juicy odds.
