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
Favori De Champdou (Cashed Out)
J’Arrive De L’EstCashed out Favori for now, as no need to have him for now
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
Final Decs
Waited too long, scraped 16’s. Originally put up Conflated, but didn’t bet him
Pied Piper 16’s
December 16, 2025 at 00:37 #1747677Vanillier 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?
December 20, 2025 at 20:42 #1748194I thought Desertmore house was an impressive winner last time , he’s my play
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
February 27, 2026 at 09:39 #1756503If 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.

March 11, 2026 at 08:37 #1758285Final Orders for me 11-2
March 11, 2026 at 10:05 #1758306Stumptown for me.
A lot more weight to carry this time around but he looked better than ever in the Czech race. Cromwells form is the main worry.
March 11, 2026 at 12:30 #1758369Tough one to figure out. Desertmore House and Final Orders might be better treated than the top two, so I’ll opt for them.
March 11, 2026 at 12:54 #1758381Really keen on Desertmore House , he’s got a cracking weight and is a lovely e.w price , I can’t see him out of the 3
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
March 11, 2026 at 15:11 #1758533Desertmore House for me in the next
March 11, 2026 at 15:12 #1758534The Goffer ew for an interest

March 11, 2026 at 15:28 #1758540wd winners
March 11, 2026 at 15:30 #1758542WD Serge and Peter
March 11, 2026 at 15:32 #1758543Well done cecil and Peter, love an end to end performance like that. Although was hoping Fakir d’Oudairies would win for a suitably Gallic flourish from the commentator, afterhe has navigated the fences so reminiscent of Le Grand Fromage at Pau, with which we are so well acquainted, naturellement.
