'I see few reasons not to get behind him' - Keith Melrose on Hackwood fancy
Qatar Racing's David Redvers and commentator Mark Johnson answer the questions
Can Cayenne Pepper hold off the O’Brien battalions?
Mark Johnson, commentator I think Snow will run a really big race. I was impressed by her in the Munster Oaks last time on her first try at 1m4f and, although she has a bit of experience now, I thought it looked as though she was still a work in progress.
Keith Melrose, betting editor My marginal call is to keep faith with Ennistymon. She’s a filly I like and time analysis keeps telling me she’s not quite as much of a one-paced galloper as I’d assumed. Although she’s danced every dance this year so far, it’s easy to forget she has had only run four times overall and has finished second in an Oaks behind a horse no three-year-old was going to catch.
