Anything can happen when they go a silly gallop and sprint. I’m just looking for him to turn up really.
Understood, Trade off purposes i presume
Severe overreaction to Jezki defeat yesterday in pushing him out to 14s. That trip too short these days and I suspect the winner will turn out decent. Better ground and longer trip will see Jezki in a much better light
^ Agreed Zark,
Am on Unowhatimeanharry since his reppearance, couldn’t resist a saver+ on Jezki @ 10/1 NRNB.Value Is EverythingI was concerned when Barry Geraghty was injured, I’m one of that strange breed
who rate him highly, as to who would be given the ride on Unowhatimeanharry. I’m
relieved to hear this morning that Noel Fehily has been reunited with him, it’s
what I had been hoping for. Fehily knows the horse well, winning 4 times on him
for Harry Fry, including over C/D last year in the Albert Bartlett. All systems
are go again
Why is there so much anti Barry Geraghty vibes about he seems ok to me, no worse or better than many

I suppose it’s horses for courses pagegriff, some, like me, think he’s a good horseman whilst
others seem to think he’s Beelzebub in disguise. Don’t get me wrong, he’s gotten it horribly
wrong on some occasions, they all do at times, but I’m not into the conspiracy theories that
seem to be put up from time to time. I wish him well in his recovery Wylie just said he runs both shaneshill and nichols canyon in this
I wonder if NC’s the pacemaker?

Err, doubt that
Whenever I post on this thread it seems to be about Jezki. I expected him to be a good bit shorter by now but the public have never taken to him. I was touting him all season in his Champion Hurdle year but, like now, he could have been backed at big odds the week before.
Unless the ground goes seriously against him he looks cast iron each way.
I cant criticise Colin Tizzard for the West Approach U-turn as connections did win this last year with his half brother ‘Thistlecrack’ and being the King of foresight its my job to foresee such events.Its well documented on here that I thought Ruby gave ‘WA’ a stinker of a ride at Cheltenham last time out and had he been handier I believe he would have won.Of course that is pocket talk as I had him at 70’s for that race but being aware of this horses still untapped potential I was straight on the machine for both the Albert Bartlett and Stayers hurdle and snaffled the 10’s and the 80’s for both with 20’s for this without ‘Harry’.Of course he hasn’t won yet and we all know that these last few days will see at least a couple more big guns drop out.If my fellow turns up we’ll see why I was right slating Rubys ride on him last time because he’ll make the 5/4fav look slow.
I still think West Approach has the beating of Wholestone over 3 miles off level weights. Only beaten 1/2 length when giving 3ib and lacking race fitness over course and distance in October lest we forget. The worry is that connections would rather have a crack at the Stayers.
Stop panicking about that Charles…West approach will definitely stay the novice route this year.

You’re a Doctor too Gordie.

If he was handier he wouldnt have been able to pick them off like he did, without rubys judge of pace id be worried that this horse will be able to finish ahead of some of these again not to mention theres jezki,shaneshill,nichols canyon to contend with this time (who knows what theyll produce)
He couldnt have won the AB anyway so probably better throwing him in here at the deep end

The King of foresight has 80’s on the Stayers but only 20’s for the ‘Albert’but I did believe Colin when he said he’d stick to the Novice route this year but like I’ve already said I have to forgive him as he did me a turn with Thistlecrack in the King george at 10/1..
I’ve stated clearly that I dont care which race he goes for as he’s good enough to win both..You wouldn’t know what an 80/1 winner is until after the race being the ‘King of hindsight’ Ginge so keep trying pal.
