The two Guineas winners Canford Cliffs and Makfi are now 13/8 joint favs at Stan James for Saturday’s QEII at Ascot after significant support for the French raider.
Head of PR at Stan James and betrescue.com chief horse racing pundit Charlie McCann revealed: “Canford Cliffs has never run with the title soft in the going description and with heavy showers forecast for Ascot Thursday and Friday perhaps that is why punters have deserted him in favour of the 2000 Guineas winner. Makfi has been all the rage today despite the fact that he ran below par in the St James’s Palace Stakes over Saturday’s C&D back in June. It will be interesting to see who punters make favourite on the day.”
