Really really impressed by Celebre D’Allen at Warwick last time. Just the way he got out of trouble, and the manner of the win, winning with a fair bit up his cuff. I hesitated with the 8’s, and left with 6’s. Not really my kind of Antepost price, but I was happy to go with him, with BOG attached.
Palmers Hill is a horse I really like, and although I hoped to see him in The Kim Muir, I’ll happily go with him here soon. Disappointing last time, but his win at Wetherby suggested he was well ahead of the handicapper, and I think that’s still the case. Have half an eye on The Topham for him, but he’s a big old price here, and must have a chance.
Another horse who I had The Topham in mind for is Annamix. Last run was brutal, but he’s had an interesting campaign, and he’s surely going to pop up before the seasons out.
As well as Palmers Hill, JP can also call on Off You Go, and Andy Dufresne.
I’m not planning on betting Off You Go, as I’ve bet him for The National, but his last runs can be ignored, and he’s worth considering. Andy Dufresne is a bit of a forgotten horse, but been hoping to see him in a big handicap, and he’s going to be of interest in the coming weeks.
Wishing and Hoping, & Farinet, are others from the home team who’ve got to be worth noting, while Born By The Sea, and Ben Dundee are another pair from Ireland who look ideal for this. Last but not least, and tajes a fair leap of faith, but I think that Feelgood Island is better than we’ve seen, and he has to run well at Naas tomorrow to come into the picture here.
I’ll bet Palmers this week probably, but one bet for now.
Celebre D’Allen 6’s NRNB
Adding Born by the Sea for this, off a mark of 140, Jay galligan will likely ride taking 7 off. he has a nice win at Galway to his name last year. Had a nice quiet intro run latest given no chance by the race conditions. 40s ew
he’s also in the Kim muir same price so will bet him for both NRNB
Happy enough with my early bet on Celebre D’Allen, and added Grand Paradis the other day, and he’d probably be my late hope.
Definitely adding another one, and preferring Born By The Sea just over Wishing and Hoping at this stage.
Born By The Sea 80’s EW 6pls
Celebre D’Allen 6’s NRNB
Grand Paradis 14’s NRNBImperial alcazar is my idea of the winner , Oscar elite run on Tues helps his form ,at bigger Slate house e.w shouldn’t still be in my book but ……I still like him , he,s well handicapped I’m hoping this has been a long time plan
Backed Celebre D’Allen and Imperial Alcazar, given that British horses seem to have a chance in the handicaps this year.
Also had a little bit each way at a big price on Hardline in first time headgear.
Err not sure what Skelton was doing there …old Slate gave me a thrill going round , the winner is as genuine as they come
Coole man.
Almost brought down on the turn too.
Wonderful trier.
Value Is EverythingI reckon Brennan did well just to get Imperial Alcazar around. The horse has an engine but can barely jump. Brennan had to make his mind up for him at almost every fence.
