Couldn’t have done much more, its whether he has the championship pace in a championship race as they were going to go 2 and a half miles with him initially.
January 17, 2026 at 14:01 #1750750I’m on him now for the Supreme even though I’ve never really seen him as a Supreme horse. Gives me Denman vibes every time I see him.
He’ll be some chaser. I just hope Hendo isn’t too conservative with him but obviously that will be the case.
I’d be aiming him down the Gold cup route all day.

Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
January 25, 2026 at 01:34 #1751770Had a go with Blake. I like the horse, but I appreciate he’s probably not the profile you’re looking for here. Hopefully see him at DRF, and he does enough to head here.
Edit – Free Race at moment, having laid 70’s. Gives me free race, but if he makes five day decs, I’ll go back in
Blake 190’s (Laid 70’s, free race)
Final Decs
Starting from scratch here, having greened out on Blake. Genuinely fancied him, so hope he doesn’t do much at Naas today
Edit – Leader D’Allier Non Runner, so stuck with one, be happy with fourth, though things have to fall perfect for that to happen

Bit keen at Christmas (the horses with him fell out the back of the telly) and jockey stopped riding before the last, then started again when Talk the Talk fell but had lost momentum. I think he will do better next weekend.
January 26, 2026 at 11:59 #1751984Ruby napped him that weekend
There’s been a few occasions when their pecking order and race selection has changed dramatically after Christmas, unless they have something like Douvan
Also, they have even more horses now
January 28, 2026 at 23:31 #1752299El Cairos down to run tomorrow Thursday 2.55 Thurles
Do you think he will run in that and the DRF?edit – looking at the odds he won’t be running on Sunday

January 29, 2026 at 15:38 #1752380I still prefer El Cairos for Cheltenham, he looks a strong traveller and that was a crawl today. jockey blaming himself for the final hurdle mistake. Could be a blessing skipping DRF

January 29, 2026 at 17:53 #1752393Yeah, I think he’ll learn from that and with further schooling he’ll be right for Cheltenham
Not ideal but still
January 29, 2026 at 18:08 #1752396I couldn’t have him , looks an accident waiting to happen
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
January 29, 2026 at 18:15 #1752399Agree HDLG. Henderson’s horse looks straightforward. He travels strongly without over racing, jumps well and finds plenty when asked.
El Cairos is undoubtedly talented but he looks like a headcase. He could win but he could just as easily end up on the floor.
January 29, 2026 at 18:26 #1752400I thought Henderson horse looked very professional , there’s and engine there to , it’ll kill Nicholls watching it ..
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
January 29, 2026 at 20:46 #1752429Apart from the final hurdle he was foot perfect bar one other hurdle where he just got a bit tight into it. The last hurdle was horrendous but the jockey held his hands up
better going and opening race of the festival pace will suit him.
Old Park Star does have a big engine, I’d expect El Cairos to be right in behind him and try and pounce after the last hurdle.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
January 30, 2026 at 04:20 #1752438A concern with me for El Cairos is whether his jumping holds up, up in grade. Supreme winners usually go into Cheltenham with a class 1 win in the bag.
January 30, 2026 at 05:13 #1752440They’ll be going full pelt at the festival , I’ll be amazed if he does clip a couple

January 30, 2026 at 08:03 #1752448” it’ll kill Nicholls watching it ”
Probably but I think Nicholls would have taken a different route. Couldn’t win a bumper in three attempts and would probably have sent him over further
