When you glance through the previous winners of Tuesday's Coventry Stakes you'll quickly notice that the trainers to follow are Aidan O'Brien, and to a lesser extent, Richard Hannon.
So it will come as no surprise that the front two in the market are from those very powerful yards in the shape of the unbeaten pair Persian Force (Hannon) at 11/4 and Blackbeard (O'Brien) at 3/1.
The former is two from two after readily winning the Brocklesby Stakes in March before stepping up to 6F to win a conditions race at Newbury last time, while O'Brien's Irish raider has won all three of his starts including a Gropu 3 contest at the Curragh in taking fashion last month.
Both are sure to go well as they put their unbeaten records on the line but given that we're effectively getting a free swing at this race because of Betfair's Money Back on All Losers offer, then we may as well take a chance on a 10/1 shot with a very live chance.
Scotsman can bring glory days back for Cole
Those of you who can remember further back than the O'Brien and Hannon near dominance of two-year-old races won't begrudge Paul Cole a big juvenile winner, and he has a very good chance of doing exactly that with Royal Scotsman in the Group 2 contest.
For a few years in the 90s, Cole's two-year-olds were the first horses you'd look out for in such races such was his dominance, and although he hasn't exactly fallen off the rader in the last two decades it's fair to say that he hasn't had many star juveniles.
Royal Scotsman could well put Cole's name back up in the lights on Tuesday however if he can progress further from his scintillating victory at Goodwood last time.
His debut run - behind the highly touted Godolphin winner Noble Style - was very encouraging, and he seemingly came on bundles for that run when routing his rivals at Goodwood, coming home five lengths clear of a field of two-year-olds representing all the top yards.
Oliver Cole - who now holds a trainer licence alongside his father - was exuding confidence in a recent interview given to Racing TV, saying Royal Scotsman is, "spot on", and is "pretty magical on the gallops."
In a race where many of the 17-runner field will be out of their depth, an each-way chance is taken on the son of Gleneagles to make the necessary improvement to take this Group 2 contest, safe in the knowledge that should he fail to win then we'll receive our stake back (up to £10) as a free bet.
