A nice run from Lombron today and I’d be quite keen on him for this. I think he’s eligible for the Drinmore next season, wonder if he’ll start there.
The NH Chase form to the fore once again. Haiti Couleurs only needs to turn up doesn’t he? haha
I’ve taken 66-1 ew on Three Card Brag here, with it disappearing from the lists rapidly. I don’t think that he’ll win, but a fun bet this far out
There are worse bets Eezer. His owner has confirmed it’s a target and he’s got the perfect profile. Long way off but 66-1 is a good price at this stage. Good luck.
I think last year proved he didn’t stay , that’s why I’m mad on him for the Grand Sefton , think it’s fair to say Elliott has him fit for the autumn , wouldnt surprise me if they have him a break after Aintree and then a spring campaign , I thought he won snug today , he might yet be a graded horse
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
I wanted to follow in GaG and VtC with Quai De Bourbon at the big price, but I see that he is 25/1 now. He is my idea of the winner too, but I will wait now
I’ve had one early bet on Minella Cocooner at 50/1, as I thought that he was unlucky last year
The thing to remember with the national now , unless it’s a absolute bog then your looking for a youngish near graded horse
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Tom Segal pricewise has tipped Quai De Bourbon which may or may not be a good thing depending on how you look at it.
Getting to the stage where I start looking at further bets, and Shanbally Kid is one that I’m interested in, now that he has an entry for Paddy Power Chase
Shanbally Kid’s win last season was one of the most ridiculous, perplexing and questionable things I have seen in recent years. He basically ran nearer five miles and still bridled it with a subsequent Troytown and Cork National winner labouring behind.
The thing is, he’s going to have to do it again to even stand a chance of running in this.
It’s a race for graded horses now. The Becher is the modern equivalent of the Grand National we used to know. Good handicappers running for 84k on easy ground where you need to stay 3m4f at least.
The Montjeu lines record in the Grand National reads
9 horses
11 runs
4 wins @ 36.36%
3 places (incl a 5th) @ 63.63% w&p
LSP £47.00
Form figures: 1415U8P0121A negative (at the moment) for a horse like Mr Vango is that all the winners of the changed race since 2013 have been by stallions from the paternal Northern Dancer line. Ocovango is from the Monsun line so therefore not although Northern Dancer is in Ocovango’s maternal line. That said Pleasant Company went very close to bucking that trend.
