4:10 NottinghamGodolphin hold the aces here with the favourite Psychic Ability who looks a strong favourite with Frankie up however its stablemate Roman Republic looks interesting at around 16/1 each way. The horse looked one to follow over these sort of races when winning a few times for Mark Johnston but went to Godolphin to race in Dubai where its only run it started 5/4 fav but could only finish 3rd. Its two races this year have both been hotly run handicaps and at first glance have been dissapointing, but on both starts Roman Republic was backed in from 12/1 to 15/2fav and 5/1 to 9/2fav. The Godolphin boys obviously believe its a better horse than it has been showing, but today its been given a few months off and comes back off only a 1lb higher mark than winning last season for Johnston. Id have thought it would have been about 8/1 today but at double that price it looks really good value to run a big race.
