I took the 3s after you flagged it… also backed Luxembourg ech-way… what did you make of him yesterday? …on the face of it still plenty to find but I liked the way he toughed it out.
seems the bookies cottoned on to baaeed and mishriff being unlikely to take part

I just don't think Appleby's 2 year olds are as good as in recent years. He ran his supposed best in the the Superlative Stakes and Victory Dance could only manage second. Naval Power was impressive lto but he beat Waiting All Night who had also been by the likes of Persian Force and Bradsell.
The form lines and numbers point to LBB being miles ahead of anything we've seen at the moment and I'm just glad Aiden has now confirmed his targets. From the RP:
O'Brien said: “We’re looking at the National Stakes with him next month, that’s the race we’ve had in mind for a while, and it’ll be on to the Guineas then hopefully.”
That's true but Appleby horses like naval power, highbank and noble style haven't run enough times to make any kind of conclusion yet
It's still very early in the season for 2yos, none of the guineas trials have been run yet
And LBB has strong stamina doubts and will need to hit the line hard over 7f to put those to rest. Even then if it's a small field national stakes which turns into a sprint he still won't have proven he will handle the stamina test of an end to end gallop in the guineas.
A year ago today I'd imagine point Lonsdale was guineas favourite and Coroebus hadn't even run.
The national stakes, dewhurst and vertem futirity will be the best indicators of how the 2yos stack up.
be excited to see which charlie sends over for it, both highbank and naval power look very good will be a good clash

I would imagine highbank will run in the champagne stakes and if winning well the dewhurst. I can't see him being thrown straight into a group 1 so unless he runs very soon the national stakes comes too soon.
Naval power could go to the national stakes then I could see him being stepped up to a mile in the futurity.
A very fast 2yo who went off fav for the guineas, didn't stay the trip, then hacked up in the July Cup
Also a son of no nay never out of a mare that stayed 1m4f
I made a promise to myself to stop backing fast early season 2yos for the 2000 & 1000 guineas iv been burnt enough times now. But knowing my luck LBB will be the freak that wins it and bolt up.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing Highbank run again for Charlie Appleby.
There’s certainly some very promising Kingman’s around right now… talking of which, I was at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago when Laurel made here belated debut… was very taken with how she travelled and hit the line hard and looking forward to see her step up in class… would love to see her take up her entry in the Sun Chariot.
I can see what you are saying FF but I think there’s plenty enough stamina on the Dam’s side… he reminds me of George Washington who also started out at 5 and won yesterday’s race equally as impressive before winning the Guineas… game of opinions tho
He reminds me of ten sovereigns
