I’m afraid this
unioniste
may have the right profile but he’s fragile Boz,thats fragile with a capital ‘F’.
Same difference
has been thrown in the deep end already and has proven he can swim with the big fish.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for Hadrians Approach for this. May not be a Bob’s Worth, but has pretty decent form as a novice, and the 3m2f could be exactly what it needs. Had Same Difference and Our Father behind when not quite reeling in Unioniste over 3m. Would have been closer at Cheltenham if it wasn’t for so many jumping errors, didn’t stay 3m5f next time, but if the jumping is sorted out, could well give a decent run for the money if it lines up.

No offence but I thought your post on the Arc thread was bullshine, it has been proven so subsequently, and you have not posted on the thread since.
I have already put Hadrians Approach up for this, but on hearing the news about Invictus coming back from injury and being aimed at this, might make me think otherwise. Will be a very interesting runner, having beaten Bobs Worth on his final start. Bobs Worth went on to take the RSA and Hennessy, so you’d think Invictus would have every bit of a chance if anywhere near back to his best. Anyone any ideas what kind of mark he would return on after a season off?
I’d give big Soll half a chance if he turned up would definitely be in with a chance of a place, being targeted for the National though so would they risk him winning this? probably not.
I wish Soll was with a different trainer. Has masses of potential for staying chases but although the trainer does alright with a small NH string, i doubt the horse will ever win the races it deserves.
If they’re targeting him for the National they should stay away from running in heavy ground at Sandown only a few weeks before the race this year.Twister looking to send
Imperial Commander
here. Huge shout with his record first time out off a measly mark of 153.
I like to bet on horses specially aimed at races, and while it may give my competitors an edge I’m going for
Difficult to be too dogmatic until the weights come out. However, I will be looking out for a couple : BOSTON BOB and DYNASTE.
Tom Segal’s on the case tomorrow and
Highland Lodge
and one he seems to put up every time he runs
Merry King
have gone blue across the boards.
Normally have a bet on this once the entries are known, but struggling a bit this year, and haven’t sided with any……..yet.
Obviously the weights are bound to rise, if, as expected, Tidal Bay defects.
This would have a huge impact on probably my main fancy just now,
Katenko
. Got him in a couple of novelty AP bets, but wouldn’t bet him on his own for this until I get a better idea of his well being………..should he run on Saturday.
I sometimes over complicate things, and look for an outsider, when the winner is staring us in the face. This may be the case this year with
Invictus
,
Rocky Creek
, and
Our Father
all obvious choices. Soundness permitting, Invictus looks very fairly treated, and would be great effort to come back and land this. Always dangerous to write off Nicholls entries in this, and the popular belief is that Rocky Creek has this as main target. If that’s the case, then he surely won’t be far away. Like Nicholls, the Pipe entries will always be of interest, and Our Father, who normally goes well fresh, looks primed to run a big one. Swerving Cheltenham this weekend, may be a master stroke.
On the subject of Nicholls, he’s got another couple of interest.
Unioniste
was disappointing at Wetherby, but would it really shock anyone if he bounced back here. One of his better claimers may just make a difference.
Aiteen Thirtythree
was my selection 2 years ago, but barely seen since, and his re-appearance at Wincanton was hardly inspiring. As a result of that though, he’s now 13lb lower than the 2011 Hennessy, and if the Wincanton run was just to clear the cobwebs, then he could be a very interesting outsider. I might risk a few quid each way, as haven’t forgotten that this was the only race they ever mentioned with regards to him.
I’d surprised if Aintree isn’t on the agenda for
Godsmejudge
this season. If he lands this, he’d surely blow his mark for The National, but really like this horse, and don’t think this is beyond him.
Same Difference
has to bounce back from poor showing at Ascot, but he’s surely better than that, and encouraging to see his price contracting for this.
Master Of The Hall
was in the process of running a big race in The Charlie Hall before coming down. Interesting that he looked a much better animal than in the previous years renewal, and would be a lively longshot if he can repeat that level of performance. Could just be that a change of stables has given him a new lease of life.
Always like to give a mention to potential Irish Raiders, but with so many lurking in there, difficult to take a stance on any of them. To be fair, enthusiam is maybe tempered with their recent poor record in this…….but that can’t last forever. If pushed, I’d side with the Gigginstown pair,
Tofino Bay
, and
Dedigout
.
Obviously the weights are bound to rise, if, as expected, Tidal Bay defects.
Not sure he is ‘expected’ to come out now VTC, unless I’m mistaken. I think Nicholls said he’d only take the Betfair into consideration if it was a real slog. Looking at the exchanges as well this looks slightly favoured at this stage.
