Sorry, Ruby – I meant the Old Course. The New Course is used on the Thursday and Friday.
February 1, 2026 at 15:20 #1753026It is difficult to be confident about anything in this race now but I still think L’Eau Du Sud is not without a chance. At least he will go there fresh this year. And if the Arkle is put to one side, his other performances over fences at Cheltenham have been good.
February 1, 2026 at 15:23 #17530287/2 gone about Marine Nationale now.
You will just have to force yourself to make do with Margot now, HDLG..
February 1, 2026 at 15:34 #1753044I agree difficult to be confident. Would rather sit and see what its doing on the day (the ground) even if missing a few points. Marine ran ok and its only a prep for him but didnt look to enjoy it today to me, didnt travel with his usual zest.
February 1, 2026 at 15:42 #1753050He didn’t run great last season either however he’ll be cherry ripe for March , not surprised the 7/2 has gone , far to big and the prof punters will have wolved that down
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
February 1, 2026 at 15:52 #1753056“He didn’t run great last season either”.
But he did run better than this year. He was only beaten by 2 lengths at the DRF in 2025.
February 1, 2026 at 21:13 #1753147I’ve already backed Majborough and I was hoping he’d run well today but that exceeded expectations. Of course there may be a totally different result at the Festival but take away the horrendous mistake two out in the Arkle and he’d be two for two.
March 2, 2026 at 09:20 #1756916With little rain forecast, Majborough will be on the drift and Il Etait Temps and Marine Nationale will shorten
March 2, 2026 at 16:56 #1756950Marine will be in cheekpieces , it’s all lining up beautifully …
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
March 3, 2026 at 00:09 #1756972Has Skelton said he intends to run Thistle Ask in this as well? He’s short of what’s required on form, and I probably will go with LDS on the day but thistle ask bouncing out and holding on for a place would t be the biggest shock.
March 3, 2026 at 01:40 #1756984Can someone uut up the Back , Lay and each way , I’m gagging to lay the **** out of Majborough
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
March 3, 2026 at 08:43 #1756994Yeah Old Course is Tuesday and Wednesday
March 3, 2026 at 10:20 #1757000Marine Nationale ruled out with injury.
The more I know the less I understand.
March 3, 2026 at 10:47 #1757003Sorry for the horse and his backers. Not so much for his trainer.
March 3, 2026 at 12:11 #1757006I agree he was my go to horse this year.
The more I know the less I understand.
March 3, 2026 at 13:50 #1757009Apparently a sore neck. I hope it wasn’t a schooling accident.
March 3, 2026 at 13:51 #1757010In deciding whether or not to run him, I wonder if Skelton might factor in the potential of Thistle Ask putting Majborough’s jumping under pressure, thus increasing the chance of LDS winning?
