OK, SO no-one expects John Steinbeck to be a bundle of laughs but the relentless nature of this adaptation of his epic Dust Bowl novel The Grapes ofWrath is enough to batter us all into the ground.
My favourite authors are PG Wodehouse, Joseph Heller and John Steinbeck, as I especially enjoy fiction.
Steinbeck is 16-1 with Coral for the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 16, although he can be backed at 25-1 with Bet365 and Stan James.
