    Wouldn’t do the Betfair hurdle form any harm either! Did you take any of the 7/1 about your

    Jezki

    Well at least Mouse has confirmed

    Rule the World

    for the Neptune today,he’s an 8/1 shot with most going NRNB but Hills still go 10/1 without the added security,I’ve taken the 8/1 thanks just in case!I know this is a helluva race and I’ve missed the boat completely with the Fav ‘Pont Alexandre’ but my fellow might just have the more speed over this trip,the Fav looks an out and out galloper to me!

    Rule the World

    £150 e/w 8/1 BetFred ‘Neptune.’

    Gord any thoughts on the 1000 guineas or epsom derby

    In 1000 guineas i like WHAT A NAME needs fast ground she does and
    JUST THE JUDGE. i think this CERTIFY be like previous horses from stable and not train on like DISCOURSE and Lyric Of Light.

    And in derby i am on MARS 25/1 who i think will stay in ireland for races like ballysax and derringstown route.And TELESCOPE at 40/1
    he go for Dante that be first race of the year for him. but i wanted to ask you on your thoughts on OCTVANGO. he is 66/1 with Ladbrokes and only horse trained by Andre Fabre that in derby he still holds a entry after the cutoff to 111 horses left in derby today. he may stay in france but he could come over as well any thoughts on his breeding about him.

    To be honest darren this years 1000gns is doing nothing for me at all,I’m not a fan of

    Certify

    and dont see her improving a deal over the winter.All my carrots are in one basket regarding the Classics and thats the 2000gns.This

    Ocavango

    ,at least one of us can spell it,wont be winning any Derbys either because I dont like the sire ‘Monsun’.As for the Oaks I still like this

    Liber Nauticus

    ,She is bred to win an Oaks imo mate.
    Anyway,fantastic news that

    Boston Bob

    runs in the RSA and

    Back in Focus

    the 4 miler.Now what about bloody

    Cantlows

    target??Poor Show Paul Webber!

    Sorry to disappoint you lads, but Attaglance will p*ss it. The Centenary. Unless it’s worse than good to soft. (Famous last words…)

    Grimes you snake in the grass,me being big on

    Cape Tribulation

    and that has to respect

    Attaglance

    strictly on what the pair acheived in that historic double last year,his hurdle rating makes him a Jewson Horse but

    Carlito Brigantes

    makes him a Gold cup horse,there’s the difference! And both get into the bloody ‘Centenary’! Incredible planning by both camps methinks :wink:

    I bet on Attaglance at Cheltenham last year, as he’d broken the track record at Market Rasen in his previous race, under 11.9, giving 11 lbs to Kandari, and beating him by 9 lengths.

    The bloke who wrote up the race, the analysis in the Racing Post, must have had an off-day, as we all do. Here’s what he wrote:

    ‘ATTAGLANCE, a previous C&D winner, ran on really well after being thereabouts throughout and probably outstayed a horse who didn´t get home. Winning off a rating 9lb higher than his previous highest, it goes without saying he´ll find things tough now.’

    As he’d broken the track record by almost 4 seconds, I thought his first comment about probably just outstaying the second sounded strange, but, in view of his subsequent win at Aintree, how about the second comment? LOL. Pretty unusual, though, especially with two horses at the same meeting.

    He’s not declared for Gowran anyway Gordon so hopefully he’ll get into something.

    Gord you not having a go at my spelling are you mate i try to spell it without looking at page this OCAVANGO i did.We agree on the same horse for the oaks then we do.

    Any thoughts on LOCH BA for the handicap on the first day as well.

    I have backed Loch Ba at 25s Ew purely out of sentiment due to the Somersby connection :-)

    I wouldn’t put anybody off backing

    Loch Ba

    he’s a Radford horse so I will always give him a second look.He’s at the right end of the handicap and is a progressive sort,’Calg’ could have run in this with top weight so connections must give this fellow a chance,I just hope Doms fit enough to ride him!

    Now I like to think I’m a decent judge of a horse and I dont do too bad selecting targets for them either,so why on earth

    Cantlow

    has been backed into 10/1 2nd fav for the ‘Kim Muir’ is beyond me,its not a race for novices and he’s not a horse for a bloody amateur rider either.Obviously somebody knows better than me then? :roll:
    I’d personally run

    Alfie Sherrin

    in this and

    Cantlow

    ideally in the ‘JLT’ or at worse the ‘Byrne’if I was JP.

    Coral Cup is always ultra competitive however one that will start to get backed nearer the day is BOURNE and at 33s I’m happy
