Usually plenty of analysis in the seminar. One guy who hasn\'t done well is Pletcher. Brown Yes!! Getting out there early doesn\'t hurt. Assmussen has this one down.

A horse I find interesting is Green Mask. Has not run since mid meet at the Spa. Brad Cox is a wild card. This horse has been locked and loaded his last 3 efforts. Timing his run up is the key. JJ will surely ride again. I actually bet this horse year. He was respective. Much better now with Cox

Silver I believe Green Mask has been injured and retired. Fractured sesamoid.

Oh wow. Well scratch him. I didn\'t hear and to be honest there are so many coming off 2-3 Mth layoffs it\'s impossible to remember who is still in training. Thanks for the correction

I\'d say LADY AURELIA & MARSHA have to be your A horses in the Turf Sprint with Disco Partner and Pure Sensation your B\'s pending the TG sheets and Seminar.

Run down from Aidan O\'Brien on his BC intended runners: https://www.racingpost.com/news/news/derby-joint-favourites-to-give-in-form-o-brien-strong-hand-in-racing-post-trophy/305664

Among others, Ulysses and Marsha are definites assuming no mishaps; Ribchester is possible but may go to Japan for their big mile race later in November instead; and Real Steel from Japan is a possible for the Mile, but haven\'t heard any recent updates.
