LIT and BDM haven’t had a prep either. So depends what’s left in the tank at the end for all 3. CDO isn’t going to Cheltenham so his training regime may have been different this time as they don’t have to worry about giving him harder races early and being competitive in them. We will see.
I wouldn’t be having a bet in the race as it looks about right to me but if I was pushed if this ground gets soft towards heavy Bristol is the one to beat they won’t give Clan a hard race before Kempton and Lost In Translation is the one with the longest season ahead of him if all goes to plan. I still have stamina reservations over Lost In Translation but that would only be relevant if it gets very testing and Bristol makes it a good test.
Tin man he outstayed BDM in the race last year , I really don’t get where this not staying comes from
He didnt stay strongly in the 3m2f on an undulating track at Cheltenham
But just over 3 miles round a flat track like haydock suits him perfectly unless it gets absolutely bottomless and blunts that bit of natural speed he has
Clan may not run if it gets Heavy in which case you’ll have the same duel as last year.
It was bad ground last year and he comfortably outstayed BDM …at his favourite course , he stays fine
I’m a great Bristol de Mai fan and NTD can certainly get one prepared early. However, compared to last season when he was talking King George and Triple Crown for BDM it had been strangely quiet on the news front for this horse I can’t even see an entry for him on Boxing Day.
The whole story around Lost In Translation makes me want him to win this again and it’s not just that…he has the credentials to do it.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...See there,s plenty of money about for LIT , I took some more of the 14-1 about last night for the GC as I expect him to be shorter tonight
Would have loved to see Santini here too, but still a nice race. Got to go with Losintranslation here. Step 1 of the Triple Crown.
Interested to see how bellshill runs , I know the same connections have the Ayr Scotland grand national meeting in mind for Yorkhill , is the plan the same for Bellshill , like VTC I really rate Thomson as a trainer
Why would Nicholls run a horse in a G1 race and NOT give him a hard time, if he would have a chance to win it?
Can’t imagine the KG being the easier target for CDO, you just win whatever you can at G1 level or at any level at all in horse racing.
Well done BDM , his course and his ground , that’s was a hard enough race for clan in 2nd with the KG in mind
