No - since Henry knows his horses best!

On the Derby ... we will never know, but Frankel has got to be a lay for the St James' Palace Stakes at the forecast price of 1/3.

His Guineas performance was extraordinary but will have taken plenty out of him. Moreover, it wasn't a great renewal of the Guineas, and he's up against better opposition here.

It was closer than most thought it would be, for sure.
