We’ve all finally given up on Capitaine then?
Yep, and Finians Oscar by association

Speak for yourself. Finian’s one of the bankers of the festival for me.
March 5, 2017 at 21:08 #1290077I can’t exactly give up on Capitaine having backed him about 3 months ago, but my confidence is pretty much zero! I don’t think he’ll run though to be perfectly honest…it’s strange as Nicholls raved about him in a recent stable tour, has had a very strange run up to the festival to say the least.

I would say Nichols is at the top of the list of trainers that rave about horses that often do little to justify that opinion. I take little notice of what he says, but do like it when I’m on and he is under enthusiastic about a horse, like he was with Diego Du Charmil last year. I think he will have 2 winners this year, both handicaps. YHIHF
March 5, 2017 at 21:20 #1290085Capitaine won’t run. Highly disappointing. Just not that good.
March 5, 2017 at 22:34 #1290095Surely they won’t run Capitiane before Aintree after the Kelso debacle. The horse has an awful lot to prove now and although you can forgive the horse for the shocking piece of placement by the trainer, when it made about as much sense as running Sole Power in the Melbourne Cup, he was a very tame favourite on the previous occasion, when his backers were already chasing their losses on the FOBT’s before Capitaine came over the last flight.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

Nicholls confirmed Capitaine won’t run at a preview night last week.
March 6, 2017 at 11:37 #1290124Last ten winners all won at least 2 hurdle races.
Negative for the following: Melon, Bunk Off Early, Ballyandy, Consul De Thaix.
Neon Wolf seems to have been hammered for this the last few days.
If Moon Racer does go for The Champion which I think is insane Neon Wolf will probably carry my money in this.

Has anyone seen any reports to suggest Neon Wolf will be running here?

Neon Wolf now no better than 4/1 NRNB, I thought Fry was adamant on the Neptune?

Betfair would suggest Neptune is the target but he is a sea of blue on Oddschecker more than likely due to firms going NRNB. If Moon Racer doesn’t go here and NW stays in the Neptune, I don’t know what to back.

I flagged this up yesterday. Honest chap that Harry Fry.

Decisions decisions!
March 6, 2017 at 17:28 #1290183Fry confirmed today that the neptune is the plan unless it was genuinely soft ground then they would consider the supreme
March 8, 2017 at 19:39 #1290532Can anyone tell me how Ballyandy jumped from a rating of 135 before the Betfair Hurdle to 147 after it? He beat Clyne by 6L while in receipt of 8 lbs and Clyne is rated 143. Is his 12 point jump based on more than just the one run?

After the weights came out for the betfair Clybe ran split the new one and lami serge and would have risen to 148. Hence the new rating.
March 8, 2017 at 20:23 #1290540Ask the handicapper, why Yanworth is 164 or Defi du Seuil 155 ? Even trainer doesn’t believe in this OR (DDS not in the Supreme). The best idea is to keep own ratings based of deep analysis of races, cos MR/MRS Handicapper does not always watch them….
All eyes on Ruby in the opener, Melon or not Melon, that is the question ‘MELON WOLF’;) for me in the Supreme. -
