I have to hold my hands up here and say that I layed Paco Boy today. Not because I don't rate him. I think he's a serious horse, but I thought the trip would be against him today. I was much more convinced that he'd be more suited by dropping in trip than stepping up in trip. Especially at a stiff track like Sandown.
Richard Hughes held onto him for as long as he dared and won cosily, but I don't think there was anything left. I still believe seven is his optimum and I'd love to see him tried over six. Maybe the Golden Jubilee?
As for Presvis, I hope he wins. I used to look after his dam.
