    I think he had 7 the year concertista won it.

    I’d say they’ll all show up Ham- no point not. Lose, maintain novice tag etc. Not loads of options. Fairyhouse is far enough away to run at both.

    Dinoblue top priced 12/1 with Hills. Taken it, enhanced to 13/1. She will probably run here, so it is worth a small each way punt in a race I do not normally get that involved in.

    Well, Skelton has NURSE SUSAN running this afternoon at Lingfield. I like her from her attitude to the way she travels and quickens in her races. Has to win today to have any sort of chance in this race come March against the Irish horses.

    Thought that 16/1 ew was fair enough but needs a good show today….we shall see….

    Ahh well, sometimes you just have to fall on ones sword :negative:

    I’ll take that. Shame about the penalty in March.

    Added in brandy love 8s, i mean, how shes finished 2nd there is a puzzle, clearly a lunatic, but going left handed should obviously correct that, maybe, lunatic

    Brandy wants a longer trip than this. Plus the violently left tendency which I’ve not seen before. Not for me.

    Id make brandy love the shorter of the two personally

    She will now be getting weight and obviously needs to get left handed

    I doubt they were expecting that today and will be doing loads of schooling to try to straighten her out

    Trainer and jockey have both said a longer trip would suit BL in interviews.

    “Id make brandy love the shorter of the two personally”

    ADV wasn’t asked too many questions today, had plenty left to me all the way round.

    What i really don’t get is why you get a 5lb penalty in a grade 2 for winning a grade 3

    Neither do I. ADV looks a big scopey sort though which will give him every chance of defying it.

    Another thing to add is that BL ran like that for a reason. To try and sap the stamina out of the opposition knowing she wants 2 and a half miles. I expect the same tactics over this shorter trip at Cheltenham but i see her as being vulnerable at attempting to beat the whole field that way. Mullins has also said ADV will improve again next time.

    Come on AVD hopefully she’s the real deal come March, just need Vauban to do the business in the Triumph hurdle trial next weekend to set me up for a nice little ew double at Chelters!
