Welcome along to the weekend preview of the show that continues to bring you winners. They say self-praises no praise. But if we don't do it, who's going to do it for us? Last week, we had yet more double-figure-priced winners. We really appreciate your support of this show. If you haven't already, smash that like button. You know the rules now. Smash the like button. And hopefully we will continue on the gravy train and the winning trail. I've got George Gorman, Andy Newton, and Peter Michael with us. And we'll begin with the oldest classic in the world, the St. Ledger, Aidan O'Brien, going for his ninth win in the race. He had the one-two last year,

0:41.6

and the man who gave him that win was Sean Levy. He's going to be on board the dual

0:45.0

derby winner, Lamborn. I thought he was going to be on Scandinavia, but it's Lamborn. He

rides and he's been the subject of some support. Five to two now for the dual classic winner, Scandinavia, a little bit on the drift.

0:56.5

He went out to 6 to 4, 11 to 8 with some firms.

0:58.9

He was as short as even money earlier on this morning.

Tom Marquand will take the ride for him. George Gorman, how do you see the oldest classic in the world going? Is an O'Brien Horse going to win? And if so, which won? For starters, I think we're probably going to see the top two in the market switch over now that the jockey bookings are out.

I think we assume Sean Levy's probably the first choice there.

As you of Scandinavia, he won his group won the last day, but it was over further,

and he was very much weighted to win that race.

Like he was miles well in at the weights.

1:29.4

And just at six to four,

1:31.8

it's just not my sort of better tool.

1:35.7

The niggling thing with Lamborn for me is he's,

1:38.7

he's looked like he's wanted this trip the whole time,

1:41.2

and it might just be that this does bring out more improvement in him.

1:43.8

But how many people were watching at York that were really that

1:45.5

surprised? Because it looked like it was going to happen at the car the day before. Like it was

1:50.8

there's something he races quite lazily at times and he's either going to go up in trip and it's

1:56.5
