He then caused them to pitch tents whilst sending the Sim world into a frenzy posting a 108 SP for 2<sup>nd<\/sup> place at 10f and popped at 106 SP to win by a quarter length in his first race in 2016. Had Miss Timoshenko Mile written all over him in April when 3<sup>rd<\/sup> in his first ungraded stakes race with a 111 SP at 8.5f\u00a0 and backed that up with a 110 SP in ungraded stakes at 8f in June.<\/p>\n<p>He then \u2018poured cold-water\u2019 on such excitement when stepping up to 10f in graded company in July and again when he was sent back to 9f on dirt in August. He was exceptionally disappointing in his last race in September when going back to 8.5f turf in ungraded stakes when I and most people would have expected him to pop a 110 SP and win! The equation for Teddy is simple. If he returns to his best, he is a serious contender to win. If he continues in his slump, he won\u2019t run top 6\u2026.

This 4yo colt was originally trained as Croissant\u2019s definite entry into this years Vince Clever Memorial Handicap and all looked great after his maiden race on TT day 2015 when he won by two lengths at 8.5f with a 105 SP. He went on to shatter any dreams the French\/Italian connection had of Vince Clever glory in 2016 after he ran below par at 10f and flopped at 12f. Immediately identifying this, Aggulotto set about turning him into a turf routing horse and Youngy\u2019s Mischief obliged with a nice two length win at 9f with a 105 SP. He has developed well since then and in August he proved he will be an outside chance of an upset here when he rocketed home from seven lengths down to win by three lengths at 9f with a 107 SP in allowance company.<\/p>\n<p>In what many labelled as crazy, Aggulotto then sent him to 10f in G3 company as his final lead in race to see if he could possibly qualify the colt for the Coxless Stakes. The colt didn\u2019t respond to the extra furlong and was beaten on class with an 11<sup>th<\/sup> place and 101 SP. The distance drop back to the mile will help and a massive class reduction will also see him in great order. He must run the race of his life to win this and I do think that he is certainly capable of a top 5 run.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Slap N Pickle (Lonhro x Nureyev x Northern Dancer)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gianluigi Aggulotto<\/p>\n<p>30\/3-7-4 ($157k)<\/p>\n<p>Part of the \u2018triple threat\u2019 for Mr Pierre Croissant who is well represented here. Ol\u2019 Slappsy as he is affectionately known is one of the first horses owned by Croissant, running on TT day 2014 in the Moment of Pang (4<sup>th<\/sup>) and in this race last year (13<sup>th<\/sup>). He is in career best form this year as a 6yo and comes in off the back of a 6<sup>th<\/sup> placing at 9f posting a 106 SP in ungraded stakes.
