Weather has made a mess of it for me i checked the going and the weather no mention of rain....just shows.
 

That unexpected ground change has made a bit of a mess of things, al aasy comes right into things now i just didnt fancy it on GF. Just shows you can check everything instead of acts of god.

I much respect @The Brigadier and the way he researches his races and draws his conclusions but an alternative viewpoint is always handy and we may get a few forecasts between us so here are my selections. prices at time of posting.
200 my speed figures suggest 1st Dusky Prince 6/1 2nd raging 8/1.
235 super fast last time out Storting 11/2
310 the fastest speed figure i have on my database for 1m4F is Japan 3/1 when it beat Slalom in France, anywhere near that will destroy this lot.
345 think i will go with CD form as this race are all much of a muchness which is the idea of handicaps so Data Protection 10/1
430 Not impressed with this lot for an Oaks looks more like an ordinary listed handicap to me but can see a Varian 1st & 2nd here Zeyaadah 11/2 seems a good option with Save the Forest a good each way option (backed at 66/1) now 33/1
510 get your darts out
5.40 Arigato 12/1 looks a sneaky bet at a good price.
Good luck people.

better put yesyes the becket horse in your notebook.

Eileendover arguably should be odds on but is 9/4 at this time of writing due to the Becket horse being backed, well by all measure the Becket horse has got to be very special to beat the Sly horse which is the best 9/4 shot i have seen in a good while.

It was 11/1 on betvictor but i didn't back it as a single, just in a multiple and i had it as my nap on here mainly due to the fact i didnt fancy much else today at any decent prices. i like the charlton horse later now hes had a couple of winners and the 2 morrison horses are worth a look.

Sorry, I went out to an appointment.  At least it finished 3rd at 7/1 so I hope you backed it each way at bigger odds?  You can sometimes get much better odds on the Betfair Exchange but have to allow for either 2% or 5% commission depending on your set up with them

with respect that may also prove the point that they are out and out cheating, what about all the hype? someone commentated just before the race that it looked a bit "big" but the "word" from ballydoyle was, this thing is the bees knees, they never mentioned it might need a run which it obviously did. my point is and was, a question must be asked instead of all this butt licking that the commentators do. 

How the Irish win the handicaps at cheltenham?. really simple they put a grade one horse in a handicap, job done, Jeff kidder great example.

we are of a very similar opinion cant fault anything you said here the bolger horse is very good option as he is 1 point behind mutasabeq along with two others and he (bolger) does know the time of day, chindit is an ew for me if it goes out to 20's

A horse that has been beaten 5 times out of six races is fav for the 2000 Guineas. How bad would that be for a classic?
Anyways i have done the speed figures for both Guineas If anyone needs a pointer..
2000g
1 Mujasaabeq
2 One Ruler
1000g
1 Alcohol free
2 Saffron Beach. 
Anyone wanting an outsider to play with, Star of Emaraaty comes out 3rd best in the 1000g, 66/1 at the moment
3rd in the 200g is anyone of 4 so wont bother listing them.
