I’ve only got a telly; darn’t have satellite things or I’d never get any work done; however, I am getting broadband [probably the last person in the country to do so] so may be able to watch more on the computer. Bit of a technophobe y’see!
I’d love Beef or Salmon to win it! Pity it’s not on the telly these days.
Scandalous, Bank Holiday Monday and no racing, AGAIN!! Channel 4, get your act together. More endless repeats of Friends,….
Not sure where you’re coming from with that comment about Fairyhouse disraelite- it has one gentle hill up to Ballyhack but is as close to a flat track as you’ll get- if there are "lots of hills and valleys" they’ve been hidden from me for the last thirty-odd years!
Ok carvills, maybe "lots of hills and valleys" was pushing it a bit. But even the climb to Ballyhack and the downhill run down the far side might be a bit too undulating for Beef. Leopardstown, on the other hand, is as flat as they come.
Or maybe I’m talking through my pipe….
Ballistraw is a big player on Monday with a major National pedigree. He’s related to Scottish National winner and Aintree third Moorcroft Boy (Well Mannered was MB’s dam and is Ballistraw’s grand dam). He’s got to be in the shake up.
Ballycullen Boy is the dark horse of the race. He should have had three wins on the bounce but for coming down when going well at Galway in July and unlike a lot in this year’s field he goes well on most types of ground. He’s another who is very well related.
If they’re still upright I am confident they will both be prominent at the business end of the race.
Hello,
The Handicap seems about right.
But please look at the past Winners’ prices, they contradict my original sentence??
Going off the last 10 years, the race should not attract substantial bets..if ever there was a race for the Legendary Pin or backing an old favourite, this is it..
regards,
doyley
Disraelite – you should go to Leopardstown. It is not flat; downhill from the winning post to the motorway bend then a steady climb all the way to three out.
TV is very deceptive; I never understood the concept of the Sandown hill till I went there.
free money available on betfair! you can still lay pomme tiepy 2 hours after the news came out
Alexander Taipan, only because my boy is called Alex.

Just to let everybody know that there will be a 10% deduction from all bets on Betfair when Pomme Tiepy is officially taken out.

Cailin Alainn for me.
Showed she is back to her excellent best with her win over an inadequate 2m 2f lto, and though her trainer has expressed some doubt about her staying the trip, she certainly wasn’t stopping on the heavy ground of the Power’s Whiskey or the Cotswold.
Ground no problem, and her hiatus apart, unbeaten over fences when she has remained upright. Could prove substantially better than her 140 mark suggests.
