im in the IRISH SAINT camp. nice introduction and now fairly well h.capped
December 16, 2016 at 23:03 #1277457I have backed 2 to win. First choice is Eduard who should come back to best following run after long absence & benefit from up in trip. Secondly Irish Saint, similar profile, I wasn’t sure re trip but trainer must be as he says this was the target. Main danger Go Conquer but he is up 2 classes whereas IS has performed well loads of times at a higher level & is 3 points bigger. Respected is Minella Daddy (but also big class rise). I then prefer Le Mercurey to Fourth Act as the latter’s jumping is unreliable. Another Hero is also up in class & may have a later target. Not sure what the plans are for TDN (another tilt at GN?) but think needs more of a test anyway. Hard to fancy any of the others for various reasons.
December 17, 2016 at 02:02 #1277485I’ve backed Irish Saint 8/1, Fourth Act 12/1 and Another Hero 14/1 with savers on Go Conquer 5.6/1 and Le Mercurey 9/1.
Value Is EverythingDecember 17, 2016 at 09:01 #1277506Great write up VTC.
Nothing screams out to me ATM so it’s a no play race for me for now. More Of That would be the only one I’d fancy at this stage but still a no bet scenario until we know he’s going to run.
Player Another Hero at 20s with 365
I quite agree with the comments from those above
Added Minella Daddy at 8/1 earlier today to go with Another Hero
December 17, 2016 at 11:17 #1277544Minella Daddy definitely the bet here for me then at 9-1, and after Eastlake win last week, can Jonjo pull it out the bag with Holywell this weekend at 33-1. I know that he is a spring horse really but I might have a few shillingsxeach way on him today
December 17, 2016 at 11:21 #1277546Good Luck with Another Hero at the fancy prices guys

I have actually backed three in this EDOUARD 8/1 FOURTH ACT 12/1 and TENOR NIVERNAIS 33/1 but I am not particularly confident about any of them LOL
December 17, 2016 at 13:13 #1277578THE DRUIDS NEPHEW and a speculative wager on ANNACOTTY
December 17, 2016 at 13:50 #1277585Just added a small bet on Johnny Og
December 17, 2016 at 14:06 #1277588OOps, cancel that last one….wrong race
December 17, 2016 at 14:59 #1277607Fourth Act for me, again.

1 placed at 9s and the other at 20s done by a neck.Both in double each way with Un Temps Pour Tout though which is nice

Oh just seen 365 were paying four places on my antepost 20s Another Hero
December 17, 2016 at 17:01 #1277631Any word on Eduard?
Feared the worst when he pulled up

sadly your fears are justified. R.I.P.
December 17, 2016 at 18:15 #1277652Such a shame about Eduard.
Very hard lines for Minella Daddy, unlucky to his supporters.
Well done Venture + Battle Group, a great early 50-1 pick with Another Hero and I hope you and assume you were both in each way.
December 17, 2016 at 18:32 #1277655Dreadful news.Thought he had the potential to become a very decent stayer after his gallant 4th in the Ryanair a couple of years back and connections have been very patient with him.
R.I.P lad
December 17, 2016 at 21:53 #1277686Yeah, just awful news about Eduard, and just as awful to watch.
Seems wrong even discussing the race after that, but quick mention to Minella Daddy, who I really liked for this, and thought he ran a cracker. Clearly a horse to keep on side of. Very unlucky today Lemons.
Nice shout Raymo with Tenor

Cheers Buckers, yeah, had him each way, so very happy, but of course, the win would have been nicer. Shouldn’t really be complaining about a 50-1 shot though I suppose. Well done Mom, and hopefully BG, Graham, and Zark were on ew too.
