MASTERCRAFTSMAN backable only at SP

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “Pricing up Mastercraftsman at this stage would distort the book something rotten so we’re only prepared to offer him at SP. It’s an almost impossible task: whatever price we’d offer would be wrong as we’d be far too big if he does turn up in place of Rip Van Winkle yet we’d be far too skinny right now bearing in mind he’s an unlikely runner at this stage and we’d be betting to silly percentages.

“If Ballydoyle’s Plan A comes to pass, the race looks to be at the mercy of Rip Van Winkle. There’s every chance he could go to the fron tearly and they won’t collar him. It’s factored into the odds-on price.”

• SEA THE STARS goes odds-on at 4/5 (from evens) for the Arc...

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "It was a matter of time before Sea The Stars went odds-on. The money for his likely opposition has been small-fry. He is the only horse the punters want to know about."
