Frenchy, 💯 agree with you on Hannon being too positive most of time with his comments
I nearly choked on my biscuits yesterday when I read his comment regard King of Change being in the same bracket as Canford Cliffs.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
yes mr.walton
My man had it that MH brought horses down to AOB for a blow out.
Mickeys connections have been roaring about it ever since.
Colosus
Fair enough colosus I just thought he looked like he would need further than 8 this season.
Mr. Walton
anything to the great golfer Philip Walton ?
Philip gets nice word out of the Peter Fahey stable now and again
Lovely bloke
Colosus
No mate, my sporting claim to fame was being sparring partner( or punch bag) to some decent ex pro’s many years back.
@Frenchy
Forgot about Tip Two Win frenchy 50/1 2nd to Saxon Warrior a great touch for Roger Teal.
Kenzai Warrior just took my eye last November he’s unbeaten and hopefully improved over the wnter..looking forward to seeing him again. Very enthusiastic owners with just a couple of horses, love to see the smaller yards come up trumps.
@Nathan..
If Threat has got through the winter as well as Hannon would have us believe he could well run into a place.He has often found trouble in running having been bumped, slowly away and jinked or veered right at least twice..he won’t get away with that if he is going to get the stiff Mile finish at Newmarket.
A good jockey and clear run and he should be up there..best of luck Nathan JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Colosus- so what does your man say about Ridenza, looks like you could’ve added something to my review thread after all lol?
NW, He might be fine over 1m but also, has the potential to step up in trip? Probably a slight question on if hes good enough IMO.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!I’ve taken a chance with Wichita 20-1 for this each way. Hopefully he will travel. Aiden O Brien so called second strings are dangerous in this race. Rock Of Gibraltar and Magna Grecia spring to mind. Like others in the race I don’t think the soft ground would have suited in the Dewhurst but hoping he can give the favourite more of a race if he lines up having had less experience.
Cheers Jack(always nice to have a differing view to help)I was just basing it on the run behind Mogul, although he was hemmed in a bit, he never seemed to be doing anything very quickly.
NW, i didn’t fully answer your question when i look back, to be seen at his best, he probably will go up in trip in time, given he won his maiden over a mile at 2. I do think he’ll be fine at 1mile for now though. He seems similar to quite a few Aga Khan horses to me in that he doesn’t do it flashy.
My main thing about him is i don’t think he’ll end up a grade 1 horse. Could be harsh, as that was a good run on only his 3rd start of his life and he did finish well enough. Mogul is a massive talking horse and to be fair to him, hes a middle distance horse in the making, but as 2yo form goes, i don’t think it stacks up great. Purely an opinion!
I would be thinking Siskin is worth taking on massively in the Irish 2000G. It doesn’t look like it’ll turn out to be much of a renewal though. I’d like to find a way in to it betting-wise, but with the Ballydoyle plans still not crystal clear i’ll wait.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Does anyone know when the entries and card for 2000 Guineas will be updated on the Racing Post website?
In fact not just the Guineas but all the rescheduled big races?
Derby still showing as June 6th and Guineas not even on there.
I think we’re going to have to wait for the 72 hour decs kris kin to have an idea who will be running.
With the Irish equivalent so close and doubts as to which horses will travel over nothing is set in stone as to who will be taking part.
Apart from Pinatubo bookies are just speculating with AP prices and would be wise to wait for some definite news on any horse running here..Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Aiden O Brien piece in yesterday’s Irish Times. Gives me a bit more hope about Wichita lining up….
Arizona and Wichita are on course to tackle Godolphin’s hot favourite Pinatubo in the English 2,000 Guineas. The Group One winning filly Love may target the 1,000 Guineas.
“Arizona and Wichita are the main ones we’re thinking of for the English Guineas. A couple of others could go but I’m not sure what.
“By going to England we give them a chance to come back to Ascot for the St James’s Palace.
“Hopefully we will have runners in the Irish Guineas as well but it’s just getting a bit close to Ascot for them to come back,” he said.
Thanks for that Mike. I had picked out Wichita a while back as a decent
e/w shot when he was 25/1 with Bet365. I took the huff a bit when I missed that and they
cut him to 16s. I thought he was impressive in his win at Newmarket in September before
being beaten next time out by Pinatubo. I’m not sure he was just as at home on the soft
ground, but I’m not making excuses for him being beaten, he was beaten by a better horse
in Pinatubo who I’m as sure as you can be that he will win this, and probably by several
lengths. I just think that Wichita is a terrific e/w shot and with O’Brien seeming to have
given him the green light, I’ve taken the 20/1 E/W with Skybet.
