Owner seems to think they are leaning Gaelic Warrior towards this race
I’ll take the spare camera with me just in caseGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
March 8, 2024 at 14:11 #1683967Wouldn’t fancy Gaelic Warrior at all in this. His jumping right handed would cost him too much with the faster 2M pace.
Watch him again over the final 2 flights in the Fred Winter. He threw the race away.March 8, 2024 at 15:28 #1683976Ability wise he’s absolutely miles better than these
He didn’t actually jump that far right at leopardstown
Question is did fact to file break him last time
He runs a few lbs below his best like he did in the ballymore that would be plenty enough wouldn’t it?
I may have a small play on the day on him to win by 5 or more lengths
I suspect he will either bolt in or struggle
March 8, 2024 at 16:01 #1683980“Ability wise he’s absolutely miles better than these”
Evidence suggests this is only the case right handed. Not worth parting with your money this way round imo unless you luv the horse.
March 8, 2024 at 17:25 #1683990He was better than all of these going left handed over hurdles
Doesn’t jump any more right over fences than he did hurdles
If he was 5/1 on the day I’d be tempted to chance
Can see him being more like 7/4 to 2/1 if lining up though and il want to be against him at that price
March 8, 2024 at 18:42 #1684002The vibe is Gaelic Warrior threw the race away DRF day before the race and was a bit sulking during it. Ricci described him as mad or something like that. I’ll be there so if he does run in this and nothing is set in stone 4/1 or thereabouts would appeal if he is behaved before for sure. The trouble is will he be that sort of price beforehand.

March 8, 2024 at 19:24 #1684010Will have to bet him on the exchanges
The bookies will be very defensive about the mullins/townend multis on Tuesday
Probably get double the price on the exchange if mystical or tullyhill win the supreme
March 9, 2024 at 07:32 #1684089I backed Gaelic Warrior for the Brown Advisory and the Turners, so it is a certainty he will run here!
I am not putting any more money on him in this race but I may throw a free bet his way if he lines up.
March 10, 2024 at 14:53 #1684372I’m taking JPR One. I’d love to see him get some compensation for his mishap earlier in the season

March 11, 2024 at 19:57 #1684628Finding it hard to fancy anything here. Gaelic Warrior is likely the best horse but his form left handed is not far clear of the rest, and he has to bounce back from where he was completely out on his feet at Leopardstown behind Fact To File. Wouldn’t surprise at all if he won but it takes a fair leap of faith to back him.
If forced, Hunters Yarn is probably the one I’d chance near the head of the market as he brings a different formline to the Irish Arkle. He’d be win only given I’d say he’ll likely finish ahead of both Il Etait Temps and Found A Fifty or behind them both. I think Il Etait Temps will confirm the form with that one. I wouldn’t like Quilixios at all.
The one I will be have a small bet on is Authorised Speed at 100/1. He was a leading bumper horse two seasons ago, running well in horrible conditions in the bumper here. He was a good novice hurdle although blew out in the Tolworth, and likely found the ground too quick at Aintree. He was in the process of hacking up on chasing debut at Ascot before a poor effort at Plumpton. He is undoubtedly an in and out sort but he will like the ground and if on a going day he has the ability to get involved in what looks quite an ordinary renewal.

heavy going and the Cheltenham hill to climb will feel like 5 miles to those 2 mile types.
Gaelic is quick enough and has the stamina needed to see it outGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
March 12, 2024 at 08:12 #1684716That’s it Nathan , all in insanity , it’s the only way , I’ll be playing e.w il etat temps as I just don’t see him out of the 3
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
March 12, 2024 at 09:30 #1684744Gaelic warrior 4.9 into 2.9
Predictable really
Tempted to lay off my stake but may just let it ride
March 12, 2024 at 11:02 #1684777Can only see the Irish taking this so having a go with Found A Fifty.
The more I know the less I understand.
