    Mike he was lumping around 11 5 in bad ground , he,ll not be carrying that at aintree , he was 3rd then disq to 5th it’s not guaranteed he,ll stay but he is a damn sight better quality horse than most at bigger prices , the other plus is the man training him has nothing to learn from anyone

    Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

    Yeah, no big concerns over the trip here, and I’m hopeful that he goes.

    I wouldn’t mind one more run to shave a couple of pounds off, but he’s in top hands, and if he works his magic, he’s already well treated.

    agree with any second now. I fancied the storyteller but its odds on the exchange went out to 140. has anyone seen any news on what its future plans are

    Staying over hurdles last I heard, with Stayers as main target.

    I’ve committed a small wager on Bellshill and Lord Du Mesnil in the event he goes well this weekend, should it go ahead. That gives me three with Potter’s Corner. I think I’ll leave it at that until the entries are out and even then I’ll likely wait until the weights before going in again.

    Edited my 7 Jan post. Noticed Easysland has OR167 now so cashed out. Le Breuil has had a wind op since the Becher Chase and has a good opportunity to win the Yorkshire National tomorrow to enable him to get in so added at 45s.

    Mike can he not get qualified now , he was the eye catcher form. He does miss a jump but he was just hitting top gear at the end

    Hes always an eye catcher

    Not sure the 4m2f is far enough for him

    A bit like discorama he always gets backed and always finds a way to lose

    HDLG he is running out of time, too low in the weights at present.

    Any Second Now starting to get entries now over fences, and would be good to see him shave a couple of pounds off before cage weights are out. Certainly considering topping up that 20’s NRNB.

    I was sure we’d see Bellshill in the entries for Haydock this weekend. Hopefully all well with him.

    It’s still Kimberlite Candy or Burrows Saint for me. I was quite encouraged by the Gold Cup entry for Burrows

    Burrows Saint an interesting one alright. Not surprised by that Gold Cup entry either. I really fancied him for Gold Cup last year, but he didn’t even get an entry.

    Wonder if we’ll see him in The Bobbyjo?

    I’m sure I ask this every year, but do we know the entry, weight and forfeit dates are this year? I can never find them when I look online.

    Some point soon I’m going to start chipping away at the 20/1 on burrows saint

    Really really fancy him for this

    A blessing in disguise that last years was off as he doesnt have the age trend to overcome now

    Peter, I’m expecting the entries out on Wednesday, and then the weights on Tuesday 9th February. Haven’t seen it confirmed though.

    Haven’t seen the forfeit dates yet.
