    Cashed out my stake on Galvin, and kept the rest on him, a free run for my money so to speak.

    Horses like Escaria Ten, Time To Get up, Next Destination etc need to get chase experience up as horses with less than 10 (9 at a push) chase starts don’t usually win.

    Snow Leopardess is out today in a cracking looking chase at Bangor. Needs to go up a bit to get in the National, however the trainer has stated that the Becher is also on the cards, so potentially a couple opportunities to get her mark up before Christmas. We’ll see how she goes.

    Yeah really pleased with her today. I’m all over her and Blaklion for the Becher. I don’t think she’ll go up enough to guarantee a National place, so the Becher could be the play. That said Blaklion is giving me big Vieux Lion Rouge vibes, so they’ll both carry my interest come the day.

    I’ve committed to Snow Leopardess 66/1 and Chris’s Dream 70/1. I’m really sweet on the former for this and the Becher, and I’ll be kicking myself if I talk myself out of backing Chris’s Dream for the Becher only for him to run a screamer and get cut across the boards for this.

    Snow Leopardess needs soft ground that’s why i backed her. If its not the same in the GN she wont be winning.

    Cashed out Cloth Cap for now. Dunno if he’s injured himself.

    He tired as he didn’t like the ground just said. He had no more to give after mistake then refused the last rather then risk jumping and injuring himself, clever horse
    Don’t forget he was carrying top weight again to Up until last few fences he was tanking along

    I thought theres still something wrong with his wind (Cloth Cap) he’s not seen out any of his races this season despite shaping well. That op after Aintree hasn’t worked is my theory.

    You might be right tin man but it has to be said this runs are also helping to slowly bring his mark down ….

    They are bringing his mark down but I couldn’t be interested in him personally over this trip given hes not seeing 3M out at the minute until they get to the bottom of his physical issues
