CVB.
We've each had 2 winners out of the last 6.  And if you bet in October, like me, both at big prices.

Backed both Detroit City and Katchit on the day as I wasn't an antepost player back then. But all the others were antepost, but they all lost

I unfortunately backed A Media Luz for the Fred Winter when she was given a 119 mark and don't really think she'll win the Triumph so won't back her for that. But think you're due a win. So Good luck

Yeah, looks like his choice now, since he trains molotov if he runs him in the Fred Winter then AML has 11-4 and his prefered easier race for her.

He's some eijet though. Some ap backers will be burnt by his constant changing of his mind.

I think prior to Katchit the last time I backed a winner in this was Royal Epic when Ten Up slogged through the mud to win the Gold Cup.

It's now one of the most reliable races to back in since the Fred Winter was introduced and I won't look beyond Grandouet who looks a class act despite having beat nothing of note.

One outsider who could go well is Local Hero who hated the ground last time and would be going for the Fred Winter if Steve Gollins didn't think he could bounce back.

From Barry Geraghty's blog on the ATR website:

"MOLOTOF ran a cracker on his British debut in the Adonis Hurdle but the handicapper’s gone to town on him giving a mark of 143 — up 17lb

There’s no doubt that Molotof ran a good, solid race with potential and it rode like a decent race, too. The ground was on the slow side and he coped with it well as you would have expected from his French form. As for the future, he’s out of the Fred Winter with that sort of weight and there’s not a lot of point in giving his maiden away cheaply. Whatever he achieved this season he’d be better the following one and he’s a horse that has the scope to jump a fence in time.

So it seems that we're back a square one, with AML needing to carry top weight in the FW.  Obviously, people can change their mind, but it doesn't seem like they're keen for Molotof to run, so AML could stay in the Triumph

Celtus?

like why is this being discussed, nicky henderson clearly said in the post aml wud run in the triumph and unfortunately barry has made it clear hes gonna ride grandouet over aml,
also just a point aswel even if nicky henderson said to the owners maybe take a chance in fred winter the owners wud never not want her to take her chance in triumph after she being the pricewise just another thought

Probably going back on the flat then imo

Got no hope of beating Grandouet but good luck on running on through the rabble to gt the silver medal.
