Does anyone know the fitness of Impaire Et Passe? I feel 20/1 offers value if he’s fit and well.
“I feel 20/1 offers value if he’s fit and well.”
He skipped Cheltenham for Aintree last season and may do again this season.
Realistically FTF is looking like one of the bankers if he comes back here
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Completely agree FTF is the most likely winner but at this stage I like to try to find a bit of value. Considering he comfortably beat Jango Baie last season who’s priced up at 7/1 I’d say 20/1 is great value. Simon Munir also said they’d be targeting the Ryanair and the reason they skipped Cheltenham last year is because they scrapped the 2m4f novice chase and replaced it with a novice handicap where he’d have had to saddle top weight which they wanted to avoid. Any info on his wellbeing would be very appreciated.
I’ve taken the chance on Impaire Et Passe at 20/1. Were he to turn up I think he’d be near the top of the betting.
Seems the perfect race at Cheltenham for Gaelic Warrior. Win in John Durkan showed how much of a tearaway he can be, so just can’t see him lasting 3m2f there.
Skipped festival last year so might again, but they’ve raced GW and F2F against each other several times now and can see them being 7/4 joint favs on the day (lot of the others at head of the betting will probably be going elsewhere).
Willie Mullins said Gold Cup Gaelic Warrior when interviewed yesterday about some of his horses by Gary O’Brien after Lossiemouth’s win (though he used the word ‘could’ rather than ‘would’). Wouldn’t describe him as a tearaway he was fine at Aintree and in the King George over 3 miles, just a bit fresh first time over a much shorter trip so jockey just got on with it.
Gaelic Warrior had every excuse to tearaway in the King George at the early pace but settled fine.

Mullins horses have been more miss over the Christmas period so yes its seems a bit of an overreaction to FTF

Nah – as you posted elsewhere, Nathan, Garlic Bread “broke” FTF at Punchestown. It’s like Arkle v Mill House revisited.

3/1 Fact To File has the look of a belated Christmas present.
It seems that way, but I’d like to know what’s going on at the stable right now. There were just too many horses that underperformed. Otherwise, the 3/1 truly is a gift.
Plenty of time for Mullins to get Fact to File spot on for this

Panic Attack the standout for me, and I love that 66’s. That looks wrong to me, and even though she’s no doubt Mares Chase bound, I can’t resist an early go just now
I’ve bet her for last two Mares Chases, so no doubt she’ll go there now.
Just think she remains a bit underrated at that price, and I’ll have a decent punt once NRNB kicks in, but just small early go right now
Edit 13th Jan
Still fairly certain she’ll swerve Cheltenham, but a fair top up before the Newbury run
