Some really good selections. I like the idea of cover for races we already have, so in last months trixies, and we've got 4 that for the bill so far.

Unless anyone has any strong final opinions, from the suggestions so far I've settled on the first trixie comprising the following three horses.
Trixie 1
Honeysuckle
Envoi Allen
Champ
For the second trixie the following are the horses in contention based on posts both last month and this, so we need two from the following list to go with Honeysuckle:
Fury Road
Latest Exhibition
Sire Du Berlais
Lisnager Oscar
Aramon
Saint Roi
Melon
Unless anyone has any other 5/1 - 10/1 horses they see as winners that we didn't use last month the third trixie looks like 3 from the following list:
Benie Des Dieux
Monkfish
Chacun Pour Soi
Altior
Min
Samcro
Al Boum Photo

Of the choices for the third slot I'd probably favour Melon, but I'd be happy to be persuaded otherwise.
There is merit in a choice between Fury Road and Latest Exhibition for example, especially given we included Monkfish last month. And whilst I could easily be persuaded that way, there is the possibility of either going to the NH Chase, whereas Melon is nailed on to go to the Ryanair. And the assignment looks slightly tougher for Aramon and Saint Roi in the Champion Hurdle than it does for Melon in the Ryanair. Against that Melon has a habit of placing rather than winning. Of all of them though I feel he has the more solid profile.
So a quick vote before tomorrow morning if you don't mind guys. I want to close the second trixie off overnight so we have a couple of days left on the third trixie. It's not a closed shop, so if you have a wildcard post it up, but bare in mind it needs to be 12/1+ and not in last months trixies. You do need to think it can genuinely win its race rather than just playing for places though.
Selection 2 - Sire du Berlais or Lisnager Oscar
Selection 3 - Fury Road/Latest Exhibition/Aramon/Saint Roi/Melon
Please just post 1 horse for each of the selections. No need for any reasoning, unless you want to.Last edited by Spectre; 28 August 2020, 01:10 PM.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

At the same price point, I think anyone who would back Sire Du Berlais over Lisnager Oscar shouldn't be allowed to control their own finances.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if Sire Du Berlais drops 6lbs and runs in the Pertemps again
I wanted to.
Fury Road
I didn't want to.

Sure Du Berlais and Juicy Melon for me.

Paul Nolan, seems a popular chappy and I bet he could snare a decent amatuer for the ride if they went UP in trip.... and he was a grade 2 winner over the intermediate trip (beating the hyped up andy Dufresne).
Paul Nolan was pretty clear he'd see him as a staying type and given his Albert Bartlett run that's justified... but I wouldn't have it odds on that he'd end up in the RSA.
One of THE most popular horses on the forum though, he was magnificently tipped on here at 66/1 and there can't have been many of us not on. I forgot who actually did put him up but it was a mighty fine case.
I'll look it up.
