Deffo would take the nrnb personally. I think it's more likely he goes triumph than fred winter. Would they deffinately give him a mark for the fred winter on what he's done to date?

Maybe not... and actually, I backed him 20/1 NRNB when I had the option of 25/1 with WH and their "insurance" so I am talking rubbish.

Solo saxophone picked up well in the final furlong and just about got up.
Not sure what to make of him but you could tell he was a frankel ��

Solo Saxophone’s form is pretty diabolical... look at the horses he’s (just) beaten in his races (all out) and look at their runs previously

Back to lay might work with Solo Saxophone. Sure to be plenty of hype about him on the day with the frankel thing

He would be up there. There should be more unexposed types. But I thought mitchouka would be completely exposed to the handicapper, I'm suprised by that mark I can see phil giving him a good 4-6 pounds on top. If he dosent he's a live one.
Very likely that would work ... I'd considered that after his first run but was way too early to do anything about
With the negativity about Apple's Shakira's run, but her still being fav for the Triumph, and then counter arguements that actually she was more impressive than it appeared...
Does anyone like the horse that gave her "a fright", Look My Way - Now rated 135, going straight there... Quinn said: "He ran a very good race and we're very pleased with him.
"We've given him an entry in the Triumph Hurdle, but at this stage I'd say the Fred Winter is more likely. He was rated 130 before Saturday and he's 135 now, so I would think he'll go straight there.
"He coped with the ground well the other day, but it was very soft and he isn't the biggest horse in the world and I do think he might be a bit better on better ground."
20/1 best price. Not for me....

Fyi the horse that beat him well the time before act of valour scoped badly and was found to be sick after his race next time out. He's fully recovered now so will see how he gets on shortly.
Alan King got a French horse Ballywood likely to go straight for this off 135... no idea how his french form stacks up, hoping Scooby can maybe do his thing...

I thought Look my way was impressive on Saturday , and IF Apples shakira is the one to beat (triumph),L.M.Way worth a small bet
in this , the Fred Winter.@ 20-1.
I know of Ballywood. He was chasing in November.
He beat Equemauville (3rd)
Equemauville finished only 3 lengths behind SPINOZZAR the last twice and in turn finished infront of TUNIS POL and Pesk Ebrel**which is good and graded form.
I just backed Pesk Ebrel* ew nrnb at 50s for the triumph today
SIGNIFIANT ran Balllywood quite close and finished infront of
Equemauville which leaves me to believe the latter has come on considerably for the experience and you can't take ballywoods form as literal.
It's hard the get a handle on without seeing the other fred winter marks. I'd describe his mark as fair, In a race there's potential to be some silly ones. I wouldn't put you off him.
If pesk ebrel was given a simular mark for the fred winter id be all over him. Obviously has the triumph entry and every reason to be very competative there.

Cheers, probably one to hold fire on til see other marks but ballywood is tempting at 20s with that decent level of form, target seemingly confirmed, and King apparently delighted with his work. Would love to see Sao get an entry next few weeks to see where he stands as well
