Im a big fan of Frankel and he should win the guineas however although Ive backed him for the derby I am not as confident of him winning the derby as I am the guineas.The reason Im concerned is that I love the look of Seville I thought in the racing post he looked fantastic and the distance would seem to be ideal. Casamento won the race nicely but he had the benefit of racing experience. I actually think that there are some big races ahead for Seville and I think the derby could be one of those where he will be very much suited by the distance and have more improvement than most.Does anybody share the same opinion.
I agree. I liked him the first time I saw him when he was a fast finishing second to Dubai Prince and tried to get on for the Derby then but couldnt find a price. He won his next very comfortably and ran a cracker in the RP. He is a horse who will love more of a test – his dam won twice in G3 company over a mile and a half and he will almost certainly be aimed at the race.
As usual trainer will have several candidates and Recital and Roderic O Connor might end up higher in the pecking order but pleased to be on at 25’s and 14’s still not bad imo for a horse almost certain to run if fit.
Watched the 2010 flat review on Racing UK the other day and they were almost dismissive of Frankel’s chances of running in the Derby. I’m not so sure and think it depends entirely on how he winters and how he goes in his opening two races. If he hacks up in the Guineas there will be a lot of pressure on them to run him….

Thankyou Jonibake I appreciate very much your answer and totally agree Frankel could be anything but credential wise I think Seville until proven otherwise could very much the dark horse who has improved with each race Im not saying he will win the derby but good heavens hasnt he done well thus far.By the way its good to be able to acknowledge someone who understands their racing!
