    F & G is 2-1 next Fridays Coronation Cup. Sariska is second fav @ 5-2 and Age of Aquarius is around 6-1. F & G looked back to his best on Sunday and if i knew he was going to run I would snap up the 2-1. The danger is will he run? It would be just 12 days since his last race and with Age of Aquarius third fav will he be O'Briens only runner in the race? Anyone got any opinions as I cant see Sariska beating him if he runs.

    Looks a weak renewal to be honest when you have Age Of Aquarius third favourite.

    I wouldnt knok this fellow just yet. Has to have bags of improvement in him and hardly got a hard race against harbinger the last day.
    If F&G goes for the coronation i reckon he'll win if his tattersalls GC win hasnt taken a whole lot out of him. He also has RA in his diary if he doesnt go to epsom.
    AOB has won this with the likes of scorppion and yeats before so AoA might fit the bill as a potential winner as i'm sure he'll be running over longer distances berfore the end of the season. I know the latter two were top class animals but as i said age of aquarius is open to plenty of improvement.

    You're dead right he could be,but I just don't think he will,not that I wouldn't like him too. What allowance will Sariska have? I reckon she could give fame and glory a go.

    AoQ looks like getting better all the time all right. He ran the Arc 3rd to 1 1/2l remember. That (technically) would have put him 5th, possibly even 4th, in the Arc ahead of F&G...but obviously theres limitations in that line of thought.

    Haha,let me guess at the weekend and do I remember you saying you had him on the nose when he was second behind Equaino when he drifted to 8/1? Still,I think 16/1 is way to big.

    I suppose, he's being aimed for it so you'll likely get a run...could be a good trading position. My only real worry is that he's not even been placed at ascot.

    Same time,he is very consistent and a group 1 winner. Kingsgate native is favourite,and on his day fantastic,but way too hit and miss.
