I'm trying to get a handle on this horse but struggling to see how he is still 7/1 for the Triumph. Maybe I'm missing something but his flat form is so far ahead of anything in the race (bar Minsk where he is 12lbs superior) that he should be 3/1 at best. His first race at Kempton showed he was a fluent jumper and had lost none of his flat speed.

Usually I leave the Triumph alone but this horse is overpriced at the current odds.

If he wins well on Saturday what price do people think he will be cut to ?

Given the state the rest of his good horses are in it could be his only chance Devil

Hib - he was only rated 95 on the flat which doesn't seem an exceptional margin in this context. But I reckon whatever wins the Adonis will be 2nd fav and Minsk will make the market for you if he wins on Saturday.

Strontium I use my own flat ratings - not that I totally discount the official view. Sadlers has contested mile and half races with better horses and grade than Minsk's soft ground 2mile events. Sadlers was only 3 lengths behind Nathaniel which shows he also has speed.

Sadlers was tiring at the end of some really decent races after going off a touch too quick. He looks like he has settled better over hurdles and therefore can use his class at the end.

Tomorrow will be interesting.
