Cross Country 2026

[Venture to Cognac]

Always like a long ranger in this. Wanted Duffle Coat to be that bet, but really needed him to take in Cheltenham tomorrow.

One who does take this in, is Favori De Champdou. He’s not necessarily kicked on from his younger days, but a wee sighter tomorrow, and a few pounds shaved off between now and March would be ideal

Was tempted to go with two, and J’Arrive De L’Est really appeals At 16’s, but I’ve bet him tomorrow, and I’ll be happy enough if he wins there. Still on the radar though

Cashed out Favori for now, as no need to have him for now

Vanillier 25/1

With STown seemingly unlikely to run, and given this year’s 3rd could be significantly upgraded I think the odds on offer about Vanillier are quite attractive.

What have you seen or heard?

[He Didnt Like Ground]

I thought Desertmore house was an impressive winner last time , he’s my play

[Venture to Cognac]

Least said about that Favori decision the better. Wasn’t the biggest bet at that stage, but 33’s is 33’s

Pied Piper my main hope now, but price shorter than I hoped for. He’s also entered in The Ultima, so option but to wait just now

Also looked at old favourites, Conflated and Escaria Ten.

Minella Crooner Cashed out – due to senior moment, lack of sleep. More embarrassing than cashing out Favori

[Kifill]

If the blazing fast front-runner Karre d’As turns up and does her usual, this may end up being more of a test of stamina than usual.
