Clarence House 2026

[Nathan Hughes]

Mullins had 3 odds on shots go down today at Punchestown and still isn’t all guns blazing.
Il Etait Temps bolted up in extremely good fashion in the Tingle Creek and I’d expect the same here, all things being equal but the yard form is still a slight headscratcher
Hendo is bullish about Jonbon but I’d take Thistle Ask to beat him in a match bet… Thistle Crack would to step up again but has been near perfect albeit in group 2 company, I just don’t trust Jonbon
I can understand Gidleigh Park dropping back in distance after his effort in the 1965 chase but not so much for this race, in this company, prize money up for grabs I guess
JPR One brining up the rear

Thistle crack , you on the crack Hughsie , IET pissed up when Mullins was even quieter , I think he might be the best horse in his yard ….

Thistlecrack at 2 miles would make a great bunny for Il Etait Temps.
No crack for me but playing Snooker on a wet Monday night in Taunton against Blind Dave you can make the odd mind slip.
Biggest odds on Thistle Ask is 7’s shortest on Jonbon is 7/2 with BresBet… What the hell is BresBet? and do they do match bets

What ever way IET will beat them , 11k for Thistle ask is the steal of the season but this is a big jump up , Jonbon is too slow for 2 miles now

Im drawn into Jonbon E/W at 9/2..hes old yea. But Cobden may get a new tune out of him (if Nico is unavailable).
Slow yes he is, but the Ascot up hill finish adds the need for a bit of stamina above 2 miles.

Cobden onboard Jonbon while nico up to haydock

Four runners;
Il Etait Temps
Gidleigh Park
Jonbon
Thistle Ask

The more I know the less I understand.

Was interesting listening to Walsh’s take on Tingle Creek. Basically said that whilst his jumping improved, jonbon set no gallop at Sandown and IET didnt have to do much to win.

I’m not sure how you beat IET here. Best chance would be to set a real gallop and outstay him, but he’s won over further and chances are you just set it up for him.

Might not like Ascot or underperforms is only way he’s beat.

[Refuse To Bend]

Cobden on board Jonbon 11-2.

The more I know the less I understand.

[Wilts]

Cobden stood down.
James Bowen on board.

I’ve gone for Jonbon with bet365’s position payout thing.
Put a bit on him ew at 25s for the QMCC too.

[He Didnt Like Ground]

Prepare to watch one of the best horses in racing

Wow that was an odd race – IET was never travelling and is still down….fingers crossed he gets up

[Ex RubyLight]

Hoping the best for IET. James Bowen is not the worst substitute for Nico.

[He Didnt Like Ground]

Jesus please get up , he ran as if something amiss

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026

[moehat]

Well I was on Thistle Ask but I’m pleased for James. Hope IET is ok…

[LD73]

Jonbon’s stamina won him the race so I wonder whether the Ryanair is the race for him now.
