Yes, a walkover yesterday really but proved her wellbeing. Sporting connections might well give it ago and I think they should.
January 15, 2026 at 17:23 #1750544Watched a few podcasts this week and a lot in Ireland reckon the Cromwell horse is gone , funnily enough the bookies don’t agree
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
January 15, 2026 at 17:25 #1750545He might be gone but I can understand the bookmakers not taking any chances with his connections.
January 15, 2026 at 18:17 #1750551Cromwell horses currently running at a 0% strike rate and 8% since May. If his horses perk up in March I expect he’ll bang in a winner or 3.
January 15, 2026 at 20:28 #1750574Love Panic Attack but she more likely to go for the mare chase then the Gold Cup, also read she will get an entry for the Grand National

January 16, 2026 at 12:38 #1750618According to her owner on SSR now, the Ryanair might be considered for Panic Attack. No mention of the Gold Cup.
January 22, 2026 at 17:14 #1751278Gaelic Warrior’s form received a huge boost today with his full brother winning the bumper at Clonmel today.
January 24, 2026 at 11:50 #1751521Spillane’s Tower worth a small investment, current best odds 50/1. He may well run in Gold Cup if he wins today as JP McManus has plenty of horses for the Ryanair
January 24, 2026 at 14:05 #1751568Cotswolds is a bit of a graveyard for the Gold Cup, not surprised its a small field

January 24, 2026 at 14:15 #1751571I’d be suprised if he was up to winning a gc

February 2, 2026 at 20:15 #1753380Bump, do you think they will now supplement Fact To File after Irish Gold Cup win or stick with the ryanair chase. He was removed last month from entries for Gold cup.

February 3, 2026 at 05:22 #1753399I imagine just now they’ll wait and see how things pan out , be very surprising if they dont
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
February 4, 2026 at 13:18 #1753495I backed Affordale Fury at the weekend and was pleased to see him tanking along in front as he had done when winning at Christmas. He went out like a light. Trainer says he came back lame & with a cut. He’s 33s now for this NRNB and I’ve had a fiver on. He’s the most unexposed and – if lameness was the reason for his poor performance – also on a steep improvement curve.
On a side note, Graeme North of Timeform speculates that Galopin Des Champs had already ‘gone’ last March and that, taking the placed horses into account Inothewayurthinkin was, form-wise, a substandard winner. Having said that, there’s no doubt there are horses who perform much better at certain times of the season. This horse has run three times over fences in March/April: won the Kim Muir: Won The Mildmay: Won the Gold Cup. His non-spring form fencing is pretty lousy all round. He is 16/1 Lads nrnb. He bloomed very late last year and was, if memory serves, only supplemented a few days before.
February 11, 2026 at 18:00 #1754278Is this further insight of the Townend rides – Galopin Gold Cup, Gaelic Ryanair?
February 11, 2026 at 18:35 #1754288What … He’s not getting off Galopin …. Who would have thought it … Me for one
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
February 11, 2026 at 18:38 #1754289Gaelic Warrior for the Ryanair, surely
It would be there for the taking and I’m not sure he’d stay the extra two furlongs a hotly contested Gold Cup
February 11, 2026 at 18:41 #1754290Still time to supplement Galopin for the Ryanair..
