    As usual got a huge shortlist for this, and I like loads from the Willie Mullins, Emmet Mullins, and Joseph O’Brien camps

    Also interested in Seddon and Bashful Boy,

    Was very close to betting Dawn Rising, but his entry for Irish Cesarewitch makes him risky

    Standout for me though is Winter Fog. Promised myself I’d bet him agai after his poor run in Galway Hurdle, and I have to bet him at this price, even if the level might not be his priority. I’ll have a fair swing at him at this price

    Winter Fog 80’s EW
    Zanndabad

    Edit – Haven’t bet him yet, but Zanndabad high on the list now after that run at York. Ridden like it was a Pertemps Qualifier

    2nd Edit 6th October

    Was very tempted by the 25’s on Dawn Rising last week, but held off, and now into 20’s at best. He does though hold an entry in The Beggars End on Sunday, so that has me looking at the 2023 winner, The Shunter. Only a couple of pounds higher for his win before, and looks as if he’s been kept for something. Happy to risk him just now at those odds

    Third choice will be Bashful Boy. Fourth in this two years back, off 86, and runs here off 77. Thought his Goodwood run shows he still has a big run in him, and at around 100’s, he’ll hopefully be EW angle at the weekend. I’d be happy to see Elizabeth Gale get the leg up on him again

    Dawn Rising the headache for me, and this still all about Winter Fog for me, but happy to add The Shunter before Saturday

    Edit – if betting today, it’d be Dawn Rising, but with the 25’s a distant memory, and three already bet, then can’t justify being with him in any shape or form

    Fireblade 33/1 – EW (Paddy Power)

    Frankel gelding who’s shown a liking for long distance races since transferring from the Gosden’s in March this year to Dylan Cunha’s yard also in Newmarket.

    Fireblade settled in well and progressed to win Shergar Stayers Cup at Ascot last month in good style running on.

    Just seen on Bobby’s link
    Fireblade 40/1 on oddschecker.
    I’m off to take some of that. :good:

    Lovely price on Winter Fog Bobby!

    He’s the main one that caught my eye when i scrolled through the list too. 20s now only though.

    The other i might consider is Mordor if the ground is decent. Left too much to do at the Curragh but ran on nicely…Soft at Goodwood when he was blown away by 8l….i’ll forgive that if he stays around the price he is.

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    Last year’s winner has been prepped for this in mind again , similar with Manxman , can def see the Winter Fog interest as prob brings one of the strongest lines of hurdle form , main bet is Bunting , ran over to short the last twice , peaked for
    this and Buick up , e.w it’ll be Manxman

    Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

    Love that Winter Fog bet VtC, quality price.

    This is my favourite flat race of the season and not just because it’s one of the last ;-) .

    Fireblade looks overpriced at 40s so I’ve had a little tickle on him each way. I’ve also had a few quid on Mordor at 18s but I’ve done him win only.

    Fireblade 33-1 ew 6 places from stall 3. Low numbered stalls is usually the place to be, as I understand it, when the ground is good or quicker, albeit that is when the usual 30+ runners turn up. Whether that trend continues tomorrow with less runners we will see.

    No Manxman so Bunting and I’ve added Dawn Rising , looks like a proper JP punt here

    The more I know the less I understand.
