    “Jungle Boogie.

    He has one race per calendar year and wins comfortably each time so is he just gonna go straight there and hack up then be put away for next year?

    Added A Plus Tard Betfair Chase/Gold Cup double 6-1. He should win the Betfair Chase again i think. Will leave L’homme Presse alone at this time.

    HDLG, Can you call him a hype horse? I mean, he couldnt have been more impressive the tail end of two seasons ago and was certainly miles clear of everything last season

    Mullins might have a chance to win the three big Grade 1 chases at the festival and that means Allaho or GDC for the Gold Cup – nothing in the first five last season and Al Boum Photo another year older

    So that means convincing CPS to run two in that race or allowing the GDC team to go for glory

    I can’t see GDC staying 3m2f on the New Course but he might be an absolute freak – that 3 miler he won at Punchestown was one of the slowest run of it’s type in years and he was allowed to use pace against stayers

    Might be a race set up for Ahoy Senor but A Plus Tard is a worthy champion and the one to beat

    Just my believe Ham , he chucked away the race at Cheltenham last year , I want to see him amongst the seasoned chasers before believing , I’ll be taking on A plus tard to …stats don’t lie and GC winners tend to struggle to win again , he,ll have a harder race in the Charlie Hall this year

    From another forum; Farouk D’Alene not in training at the moment. Horse was injured in the fall at Cheltenham.

    Managed to bin most of my Cheltenham bets last season, but still left with Jungle Boogie fur this, as couldn’t cash him out. Don’t think he’ll run here, and I prefer him for Ryanair, but hopefully be able to lay a bit off at some point.

    The one I have bet, is my old favourite Galvin. Firmly, and spectacularly put in his place in March, but having touted him since day one, I just know I’ll bet him on the day, so I’ve bet him early. I don’t think he’ll do it, he’s close to this level, but just not close enough on March’s evidence. Different day, and a different race though, and you never know. Very happy to keep him onside.

    Noble Yeats I think is a dark horse for a trainer we haven’t got to the bottom of, and I’ve a feeling Aintree won’t be the priority this year.

    Galvin 70’s
    Jungle Boogie 66’s
    Noble Yeats 200’s (Laid 12’s)
    Conflated 50’s

    I’ve had a play on l,homme presse , if I stick to the rule of taking on prev winners then he,a the potential young stalker , the bookies are exactly taking risks with him but if he runs a big race in Betfair then they may short him further

    “I think they said he would be campaigned conservatively pre gold cup.”

    This is what I find frustrating about the National Hunt season now. The domination of the Cheltenham Festival has ruined it.

    Why build a horse’s season around one race which it is probably not going to win? There are plenty of other good races it could win, especially if the Irish contingent stays at home.

    What if the horse gets injured the day before Cheltenham? A whole season would have been lost.

    It is madness.
