Am already on that one BB
Nice
Bet Lord Yeats to win @ 33’s when the books opened. Not too confident about that one to be fair after his last run, at least he is running i suppose.
The last few days i have become quietly confident of Natural Scenery running a big race. Quite a hot race he ran in at Goodwood and looked all over the winner for me before being run out of it at the end. The jockey has a very good strike rate this year for Suroor (3 from 4 )
Bet @ 20’s to win
Elidor should be favourite for this
How so?

Don’t know about that but I nibbled at the 40/1.
I’m worried conditions might not be quick enough to see him at 100% though.
As already stated I am already on Wild hacked and Battersea and have now back Natural Scenery at 20/1, it ran well at bot Newcastle and Goodwood and looks a tad overpriced to me,
Bobby, must seem a longtime since you did that excellent write up.
Like you I had decent odds in Ivan G lats year and am against taking such skinny ones now. But I’m with you on Dubka to finish a good week for Stoute with a flourish. And I’ll have a saver on Raymo’s Battersea (no doubt we’ll end up in the dog house)
Good luck all
Hi Degaussed.
I was exaggerating to a large degree somewhat but believe he has a better chance than his odds suggest. Put in a great run at the Curragh the other week, which I’m not sure if many of the others could replicate. Handicaps are not my thing to be fair but I like the horse and his better runs have been held up coming off a pace which is likely here.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
The reason I thought Michael Stoute was good at aiming horses at this race was because I was there when Rosika came second; I’ve just been told on another forum that Rosika is Dubka’s dam. This has added even more interest to my favourite race. I would like Seamour to win, though.

I was curious more than anything. From what I’ve read this has been his plan, I’m just not sure if his mark might be too high?I’ve gone for Natural Scenery at 16/1. She ran a great race in the Northumberland, before looking a certain winner a furlong out at Goodwood when not lasting home on the dire ground. We know she handles big fields, and I think she’s a lot better than her mark of 102 (with a 3lb claimer). She could be a group-winner in a handicap. I thought she’d be right at the head of the market and am more than happy to take her price.
I also like Arch Villain, but will stick to one bet. His form after a break is great, and his trainer, Amanda Perrett, is usually very good with horses running first time after a break. 33/1 could be massive.
I was going to back just one horse in this and that is Lord Yeats at 33-1. I have bet him at 28-1 though as I want Skybets 6 places.
As it’s one of the big handicaps I have also bet two of them to win Natural Scenery and Wild Hacked who are both 16-1.
It does Joe, seems a long time ago now.
Hopefully Dubka can give us a run for our money, but I would just love Ivan Grozny to do it. I’m happy enough with the 9’s, and he’s one of my favourites, so got everything crossed here lol
Added to my Elidor (40/1) & Natural Scenery (e/w 20/1) with a couple of win bets on Ivan Grozny (12/1) and Battersea (10/1).
Only ever meant to do 3 but I couldn’t split the last pair so decided to back both.
Best of luck one and all.
Bit of a blow to me when MOUNT LOGAN wasn’t in the final decs, but just got to
wipe the slate clean and start again. I’ve always liked SCARLET DRAGON,
he won a good handicap last year at York, but looked even better winning a valuable
handicap at Newmarket 2 starts later at Newmarket. It’s got to be taken on trust
he will get the extra 2 furlongs, but he could even improve for that, he’s normally
strong at the ned of his races. At 12/1 he’s a decent bet I reckon.I’m going to fling in another at big odds. ARCH VILLAIN at 50/1
isn’t without a shout. After missing 2015 he came back well last year and won 3 out of 5. He lost
badly in the 2 handicaps he ran in, no excuse for him in the first of those, even though he was
a little short of room, but he can be readily excused for the 2nd where he slipped up on the
bend and the jockey eased up in case the horse was injured. He has two obstacles to overcome,
the first being that he’s on the highest rating he ever has been on, but it’s still only 4lb up
from his win last time out. The 2nd is that he has to overcome an absence of 385 days. Actually
I’m not bothered about the time he’s been off the track, if you look at the last 4 years he
has run, he’s won 1st time out in them all. I think at 50/1 is worth taking a gamble, I was
going to say the 40/1 6 places with Skybet was safer, but they have just notched him up to
50/1 2 minutes ago. I’m having some of that
