given this race is rather short on quality i’m starting to like wishful thinking for this (assuming he takes his chance.)
has proven to be able to carry big weights to victory in handicaps. has got his ideal ground, track and distance.
absolutely hosed up last time giving weight to a useful horse despite making a horlicks of the 1st fence. not sure giving weight to this field will be as difficult as some might think.
theres an argument that walkon goes best fresh, and other than that animal i’m struggling to come up with worthwhile opposition.
wishful thinking all in

I had Wishfull Thinking on my list also but read that Hobbs is planning to send Menorah instead.
Glancing through the decs now it appears Wishfull Thinking is in and Menorah is out. Only read yesterday it’d be the other way round
yeah I read the same but I think he said it largely depended on the ground and they hadn’t made their mind’s up. looks like menorah will go for the peterborough then, assuming it gets re-allocated.
btw looks as if they need 1 of 17 to come out for unionieste to run, otherwise it will be balloted out
The two I’m plumping for are NDLT and Tartak, who’s is now 2lb below his last winning mark and Tim Vaughan seems to think he’s got a decent chance, surely 20/1 is too big as he’s won round Chelt before. NDLT will be top class in a few years I think.
with the ground being so testing at cheltenham today, light weights are surely going to be favoured tomorrow. I’m going off wishful thinking now, since it’s going to be very tough to carry top weight in those conditions, and so I think that unioniste will hose up
A 4yo against seasoned campaigners will have to be very, very good and is out of the handicap.
Walkon doesn’t win often enough for my liking and I don’t think much of his price. Unioniste is vying for favourite but I think he might be too young, although he could improve bigtime. With the likely soft/heavy going this is a race where I will play small at a double figure price, just to spice the interest. I am going to give my old pal Golden Chieftain one more try at 20/1 with Stan James. He is running with a tongue tie fitted and combined with the drop in trip I hope to see him perform better and maybe reward an each way punt.
No doubt the usual Nicholls/Henderson Saturday monopoly will prevail though.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
With the ground that bad my 2 have next to no chance so I’ve done my dough
if I had not backed them Cristal Bonus would be the one.Will be taking a chance on Grandouet winning tomorrow and the Champion Hurdle at 20s
get in my beauty
weight proved decisive in the end. poor walkon must hate the sight of those hales colours by now.
where was i dissing it? its called a forum, i was tossing ideas around.
sorry about your loss.
is he even that good anyway? or are people lazily backing him because of the nicholls connection? i’d just be a bit worried how easily fingal bay and dynaste brushed him aside last time, even good horses that they are.
There…

notice how i’ve put question marks in. I won’t bother next time. and i don’t appreciate being told to **** off. you clearly are a troll, because theres no way you’d say that to me in real life, as i’d bury you.
blocked for good this time, goodriddance.
i’ve put in a complaint about poor1985 as well, hopefully he’ll be kicked off the forum for good. rude obnoxious losers like him don’t belong on here, hopefully he’ll be welcome on the betfair forum.
