'I've been waiting all week for him' - Johnny and DJ tackle the big Saturday action and disagree on whether Field Of Gold can bounce back
The Upping The Ante stars provide their main plays for this weekend
How did last weekend go for you – did you win or lose?
Johnny Dineen: Calandagan was the big one for me. My whole weekend revolved around him so it was nice to see him get the job done. Mickael Barzalona rode him the way I hoped he would. I couldn't have done it any better myself!
David Jennings: Really well, actually. Elmonjed was the Saturday banker and he obliged at York at 9-2. More about him later.
Who wins the Stewards' Cup?
DJ: Elmonjed, of course. It was interesting to hear Jim Crowley tell the Haggas camp straight after his York win he should run again at Goodwood. That tells me the horse continues to keep a bit for himself and last Saturday's exertions would have taken little out of him. He looked like winning by at least a length 100 yards out and then pulled himself up. He's a Group-race sprinter in the making and this might be the last time we see him in a handicap.
