    He must really fancy ABP for the Gold Cup if that’s the case I’d imagine

    At least when kemboy retires they can say he won a gold cup Sat proved Santini is getting slower and softer , he,s minella Rocco … he,ll be running in hunter chases like him soon enough , you been taking the 16-1 for the GC ?

    Think the market has the absolutely spot on for once.
    Paisley Park and Thyme Hill totally different league to anything else here. Playing for 3rd if you bet anything else or your chancing that paisleys problem resurfaces.

    If the heart issue didn’t crop up last season and you ignore the run in the stayers hurdle we would be potentially talking about an all time great in the staying hurdle division and the fact that thyme hill is giving him a run for his money this season is not because Paisley has gotten worse but more that thyme hill is also some animal, I mean thyme hill was a bit unlucky not to win the Albert Bartlett last season and that form has been cranked so many times.

    These 2 stand out and I honestly think this is the one race not to be going for a long shot each way but just going for the straight win as I really think it’s just 3rd place up for grabs here

    I’ll definitely be backing Kemboy if he runs here. A first division top notcher (Staying chases) running in a 4th division race (Staying hurdles). He will win if he runs.

    Diol Ker ew 50’s for Noel
    Meade, 1/2 length behind Sam’s Profile in heavy ground at Gowran (grade 2).

    That was his first run at 3m only 5 starts over hurdles and was closing back on the winner. Handles all ground but hope G/S would see an improvement.

    Hopefully get few more places on the day for 33’s.

    I haven’t
    Has Henderson said anything since the Cotswolds?
    I’d rather hear something as it wasn’t pretty the way he walked over the line
    it could be he needed a hard race to get more fitness
    yet Henderson said he didn’t want a hard race.. :unsure:

    Not too worried about Santini’s run. One could argue he had a harder time in the 2020 Cotswold Chase as he was in a ding-dong battle with BDM a fair way out, this time it was a case of keeping him going down the straight for 3rd at a different track and accepting it.
    Ready to roll in March one would imagine :good:

    Mike he was sully and jumped sloppily throughout , Aidan at least 3 times asked him to pickup and he delievered nothing , I really can’t see where you can pick any positives from it ? , ask yourself why he’s double the price he was at the start of the season ….getting slower and softer

    Why is he double the price he was at the start of the season? That’s an easy answer. He not run at Cheltenham yet. :bye:

    Ronald pump at 16’s for me.

    2nd to honeysuckle last time when staying on and almost grabbing her, only got a clear run in the last 200 yards in the race last year.

    My bet of the week.

    The proximity to Honeysuckle is massively flattering to Ronald Pump. They went zero gallop in the Hattons Grace which didn’t benefit anyone involved. A similar situation almost ensued in the Irish Champion Hurdle but for Rachael being savvy to it and kicking on.

    I wouldn’t rule Ronald Pump out of the places, but by no means would I lean too heavily on the Fairyhouse performance.

    Doubt honeysuckle was fully fit for the Hatton grace

    She had a prep run the previous year

    Certainly seemed to improve a tonne for the run
