I had a closer look at Solness and what puts me off is the fact that on his three trips to GB he was beaten 20, 25 and 42 lengths. Maybe he doesn’t like to travel. Otherwise he would be a very tempting price.
You could argue that JPR One ran a decent race in the Ryanair, but he only beat Matata and Master Chewy.
Gidleigh Park is way too short at just 5/1 in a G1 race as he is only 1 from 5 over fences. The fav is the class act and the stable is going great guns, but I don’t back horses at 6/4 in such a competitive race.
I’m hoping for L’Eau du Sud to recapture his Shloer form and have backed him at 12/1 WIN only.
