I quite like the look of Ronald Pump here. It’s maybe unlikely that he will line up here, as he should be in The Pertemps but I have bet him 33/1 nrnb, which I think is a great deal.
Ronald Pump definitely an interesting one Autumnal, wherever he goes.
None of the outsiders I had my eye on got an entry, so went for two equally unlikely ones.
I know he’s RSA Bound, but couldn’t resist a few quid on Champ, just in case. He at least got an entry, so worth a pop.
The other I like is Tobefair. Loves it round here, and though highly unlikely he’ll be good enough, I’m hoping he runs a nice trial which would give me a free bet in a trade. Unfortunately the obvious trial for him will probably be The Cleeve, where he’ll be up against Paisley Park and If The Cap Fits. Took 140’s to 200’s.
Champ 32’s
Tobefair 200’sI really did like Sams Profile for this, but he has been ruled out of the festival.
I’ll go with The Worlds End here at 20-1.
I’ve been keeping an eye to see when Emitom would appear back after his injury problem,
and I’m pretty sure he would have needed the race in the Relkeel at Cheltenham last
month when he did. He tired late on and Gavin Sheehan wouldn’t have knocked the skin
off a rice pudding with his use of the whip, which is fair enough as I think they still
hold hopes in the Stayers. I do too and his five on the trot still looked as good after
his 2nd to Champ at Aintree last April, especially as he didn’t jump the last with any
fluency. He’s down to run in the Cleeve Hurdle on Saturday, and on the off chance that
he strips a lot fitter for this and does well, and I’m hopeful that he will, I’m chancing
him at 33/1. I’ll know after Saturday if I should have waited
I said in an earlier post that City Island should come here. And connections have decided thats the way to go. So added him 12-1 NRNB.
If Champ was in this he wouldn’t be a 12-1 shot and City beat him. That’s the reasoning behind it anyway.
Why is PP still as big as Evens? What is going to beat him?
I cannot see Mullins running Benie Des Dieux here and I doubt she would beat him anyway. The mares race will be far easier, with or without Honeysuckle.
PP ought to be long odds on. He is the same price as Envoi Allen is for the Ballymore but has been there and done it before and clearly has the beating of everything in the race. If you could only back one of them, which would it be?
Maybe because hes not a flashy horse he will continue to go off bigger than he should for a few races
A bit like stradivarius on the flat
Yes, still a great price has to better than 50/50.
Coleman said he wasn’t out of 2nd gear and the now seemingly not hitting a flat spot will only help too.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
His odds are probably factored in by the support for yesterday’s runner up being backed for the Stayers. Not a lot in it on the day and the runner up made a right horlicks of the flight in the straight. Im not saying the 2nd will beat PP but some do.
Yeah true Mike.
Coleman said the pace was slow which would have helped Summerville Boy use his pace in the finish. A faster pace plus anything taking him on for the lead at the festival will play into PP hands
What was the verdict with ITCF I can’t believe that was his true runningGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Sounds like fry is thinking about skipping the festival and going straight to aintree with ITCF
Took Portrush Ted at 66s ew NRNB as a shot to nothing- if he gains a solid but unspectacular first six finish tomorrow he’ll go in the Pertemps final; if he happens to stroll up by a big heavy-ground margin and get lamped with an astronomical rise he could go here, especially if Emitom bombs again tomorrow.
Hoping to see a good run from Emitom in the Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock
today. I’ve already backed him at 33/1, but I think Betfair are sticking there neck right
out with 50/1, so I’ve had another nibble. I also think their offer of 25/1 w/o Paisley
Park is very well worth considering as he’s generally 25/1 with most firms outright.
They haven’t gone NRNB yet, obviously that has to get factored into the equation, but I
still think all things considered he’s too big.Took the 50s in the week too BigG to go with my any race 25s from the start of the season.
More interestingly, after the race i got some 22/1 with PP for Emitom to win without Paisley Park. Was highlighted elsewhere and despite being a bit of a bookie mistake, should stand i would think as they just weren’t quick to correct that particular market.
