Quite a lot of entries this year, with a lot of unexposed winners. Hermes Allen is the favourte, but at evens quite short. I liked Attaca. Partly because of the Altior-colours, but mostly because of his impressive win at Cheltenham. Unfortunately he is a non-runner.
I went for Passing Well. He showed decent form in Ireland in his bumper and won nicely against a decent Henderson horse on his hurdles debut at Uttoxer. I think he is a big price.
Passing Well 28/1 EW
I was at Stratford when Hermes Allen won half the track and he’s a good prospect.
But has everyone got amensia?
The Irish win EVERYTHING over here over Jumps nowadays and Joyeux Machin deserves to be joint favourite at the very least.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Wasn’t totally impressed with Joyeux Machin’s hurdling last time but after the last kicked away to win nicely. Second to Facile Vega beaten 6 lengths in a bumper could be a bet to nothing eachway at 5/1…
You Wear It Well for me, at the bottom of the weights. Likes it soft; has Hermes Allen won on really soft ground?
Upset time.
I thought the 2 at the top market might want nice ground. So Crambo ew 4 places, Vicki Vale ew 4 places
Have £8 in my account so I’ve put a massive £2 on the fav hoping to get it up to a tenner so I can do the minimum withdrawl lol.
Not overly confident because of the ground though.
To not come off the bridle in that ground is impressive , he,s got some engine
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Very impressive indeed given the way he powered up the Cheltenham hill last time out on better ground
Proper horse, that Hermes Allen. Sounds like a dream one for a trainer – does nowt at home, laid back, saves his energy for the track. He looks like the festival razzmatazz won’t bother hime either. Whatever the Irish come up with in the Ballymore, it’ll have to be one of their decade’s best to beat him.
I hate myself for it but I imagine I’ll end up backing him for the Ballymore.
5’s still seems very fair to me.
The coach trip I go on each year always goes on the Wednesday and I fancy a good bet on the each way double of Hermes Allen and Queens Gamble in the bumper to top and tail the card.
I’d say he’s a terrible price for the ballymore myself
2nd was rated 125
Bravemansgame and stage star won the race by further against higher rated opposition and weren’t good enough to win at Cheltenham
Be interesting to see some of the Irish contenders in the lawlors of naas next weekend
