RISING SON OF FRANKEL

The great Frankel made his name on the major stages of Flat racing with two of his wins coming at Royal Ascot. Now his son Solo Saxophone runs in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle. The gelding, who has won two of his three hurdles, is one of three Dan Skelton-trained runners in the race. Skelton said: ‘He is lazy and not what you expect from a sparky champion racehorse, but he has plenty of ability and we are putting a pair of blinkers on him for the big day. ‘He is a horse you can ride quietly and he will pass horses and gain confidence from that.’
