LONGTAIL TO FLY IN

Bermuda not short of genuine talent

- 

DESPITE launching his jockey off on the way to post on his last start in Group One company at Royal Ascot, KERDOS (1.50) ran a cracker to finish fifth.

Clive Cox’s beast now takes a big drop in class when he rocks up in the Group Three Coral Charge over five furlongs at Sandown Park, and Christophe Soumillon is a great booking in the saddle.

Jim Boyle’s MANY MEN (2.05) obliged off a perch of 80 at Doncaster in June so racing off a higher ledge of 85, he will carry my each-way wonga around the 11-2 mark in the bet365 Handicap over a mile and six furlongs at Haydock Park.

Before that he was third behind Merchant, and that creature went on to score at Royal Ascot with the Irish Derby runner-up in second.

Michael Bell must have been surprised and angry to see GREEK ORDER (2.25) nudged up 2lb for his fourth of 30 in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot.
