Certainly not, DTN! Highlight Reel ran well in second on debut and then was down the field in the Listed Chesham Stakes. Dropped down in class today he can resume his progress for Michael Bell and Jamie Spencer. Highland Reel is a six times Group 1 winner who would become all time European top money earner today if he finishes first or second. His price has drifted during the week due to doubts about him handling rain-softened going. I think that has been overdone, and that at the 5/1+ available this morning he has a chance better than his odds reflect. The fact that they both have 'High' and 'Reel' in their names is utterly irrelevant! For completeness, Nyaleti has run excellent seconds in Listed and Group 2 company the last twice, having won a nice race at Salisbury previously. She ought to be up to this. A Trixie (three doubles and a treble) is a speculative attempt to get a good return for limited outlay, but any two of the three would yield a profit at this morning's prices.
Took your tip orsenkaht - but put a patent on it rather than a Trixie. I'll get summat back then if at least one of them comes in!!!
