    He does look truly exceptional

    Neither him or shiskin had beaten much be interesting to see how they do in open company next season

    Gauloise for me in the next and Cool Jet ew in the last, hoping Jody Townend can double her tally for the week.

    Would Mullins run both Engerumene and Chachan Pour Soi against Shishkin do you think??
    Certainly some race in prospect if they do all meet

    I think it’s tough to go against Mullins at the moment, never mind the form of this yard, but I can’t let the 10’s go unbacked on Bigbadandbeautiful

    I think he would nathan, he definitely just runs them in the race that suits them and cps definitely can only go that way, energumene most certainly looks the same

    Yes I would think so. He wants to tick off the QMCC, plus has a Ryanair horse in Allaho. The 2 milers he sends to the Ryanair are the likes of UDS and Min who were given opportunities to beat Altior and couldn’t. I would think CPS and Energumene will both be given a crack at Shishkin.

    Easy Grass, well done.

    I’ll join you with Cool Jet in the last for a bit of interest.

    Thanks VtC.
    A fence and a trip awaits for The West Awaits I would think.

    Yeah Ham, I was conscious of the form even before Dallas and Bigbadandbeautiful (and I had a late saver on Aramax too), but it’s really poor stuff from them.

    Its like they’ve pulled up stumps until Gordon is back and just running horses to get their marks down

    Some of theirs have run absolute stinkers since Cheltenham

    That was a tougher day than yesterday, but cracking on.

    In the opener, I’ll go with Enniskillen, but I’ll be betting him to lay in running. Hoping for a big Exchange Price.

    In the 1615, I’m with the Meade pair, School Boy Hours and Ificudiwud. I’ve tracked SBH all year, and this looks a good opportunity at a track he’s ran well at before, while Ificudiwud is a big price with Gainford up. I also like January Jets in this race, but not a race to go three handed. Tracking him though, and definitely one for next year.

    In The Champion Hurdle, not really my type of bet, but 10’s EW looks fair for Sharjah.

    It’s possible that Auvergnat has his best days behind him, but there’s maybe an outside chance he’s been saved for this, and at around 28’s, I’ll happily chance him.

    I liked the look of Dreamsrmadeofthis last time, and at around 9’s, I’ll chance her to progress again.

    In the Bumper, I like Aintree Gin at a huge price. Has had some big entries, and the 66’s appeals, but haven’t decided on her.

    1540 – Enniskillen
    1615 – Ificudiwud 20’s EW 5pls
    1615 – School Boy Hours 10’s
    1725 – Sharjah 10’s EW
    1835 – Auvergnat EW 4pls
    1905 – Dreamsrmadeofthis
