It was a weird race at the time. I remember in aftermath people were saying the time was really strong time on the day. 5L to third sort of forces your hand to give it a good rating in a G1 like that so the winner was always going to be well rated as he teased a couple of times prior and could have magically put it together on the day. Times/margins/racestatus basically all you need, but the form didn't really hold up even behind him.
Regardless if a 2nd in the Prince of Wales rocked up here in years past minus Winx he'd be talked up off the maps so it's great to see us marking Addeybb down and saying that's not good enough here.
He was getting talked up off the map here and if the track had give in it I'd be all over him. I've just got the feeling he is not going to handle the firm track out here at all so will be risking him in all exotics
