Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!February 7, 2018 at 23:51 #1341205I’d agree that Good Boy Bobby looks a smashing prospect, and he deserves his place near the head of the market. That was very impressive at Chepstow.
The one who made my early shortlist, Nearly Man, who’s in the same ownership as Bobby, has his second outing tomorrow at Thurles. Don’t know if the owners would want two in this, and surely Bobby will be their #1 hope, but I’m hoping to see enough from Nearly Man that would justify an entry, and also an early introduction the market.
Quite impressed with Seddon at Musselburgh on Sunday, and he’s a decent price at the moment, at around 50’s
February 9, 2018 at 02:41 #1341349Is Stay Humble likely to turn up here? He doesn’t appear to be entered in any races other than the Cheltenham Bumper. Has anyone heard anything? i.e. is it likely he’ll turn up without a run?
February 9, 2018 at 09:30 #1341358I am going to guess he’s not going to make it….he will get a run before/after Chelt and head to punchestown and do the same as Yorkhill/Invitation Only…
Just a guess.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!February 9, 2018 at 09:35 #1341359RE Stay Humble – if everything goes ok he will make his debut this month, Cheltenham is still the plan but because of the time scales involved he is probably not very likely to get there. Bit annoying as i backed him at 20/1
February 11, 2018 at 09:39 #1341718My Champion Bumper fancy is running in the last at Exeter today: Time To Move On. I’m on at 20s and that’s still available in a few places this morning.
I’ll be mightily disappointed if he can’t shoulder the penalty and hack up even if the conditions are mire-like. Hopefully he scoots up under Geraghty and shortens for the festival.
February 22, 2018 at 03:07 #1343415Stay Humble is entered at Fairyhouse on Saturday! He may just turn up here if he runs well. Here’s hoping.
February 27, 2018 at 17:00 #1344233Interesting that giggy seem to be sending a few for this again. Not sure they can make their mind up on their opinion on the race!

Think there is a good chance it doesn’t turn up
March 6, 2018 at 00:39 #1344912Not a race to go mad on, and I’ll bet Didtheyleaveyoutoo, or Time To Move On, on the day, but I have went for Seddon now, who impressed me at Musselburgh. I think he’s better than a 50-1 shot, and he’ll do for me.

March 8, 2018 at 13:28 #1345262Ffs.
As you can see from my OP, I was keen on him.
Had him, cracking Smart and ITCF pulled out in the last fortnight now.
March 8, 2018 at 13:44 #1345267Is Hollowgraphic our? He’s not listed as a runner on ATR; did anyone here anything?
March 8, 2018 at 13:47 #1345268Out due to ‘not pleasing in his last piece of work’ Vautour.
March 8, 2018 at 20:10 #1345324Tornado Flyer’s a springer in the market. Flemensfirth half brother to Hurricane Fly. Think I read somewhere Ruby had a good word to say about him too.
EDIT – Not half brother sorry. The dam is a half brother.
March 11, 2018 at 09:47 #1345661I like Seddon and The Big Bite but Didtheyleaveuoutto looks very classy.
7/1 in a big competitive field at the Cheltenham Festival may look tight but such is his style I’ve had to get stuck in.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
March 12, 2018 at 19:10 #1345953If it stays heavy/soft then I think Thebannerkingrebel comes into contention,in my opinion.

So don't run, just like the others always do
