dildar will probably improve nad there were some positives to take form a weak wn first time.
Une artiste has hurdel experience already so would have wanted a little more from her.
Hugh Taylor’s tipped up UDS last week, jinxed it! Wouldn’t completely dismiss it after DH’ing today though, was obviously just a prep run. Was still well clear of Dualla Lord back in third.
A lot of people backing Grumeti on here it seems. Course form is hugely important IMO, major plus (despite in acrimonious circumstances!)
Grumeti won’t be running in the Adonis.
Instead will participating in the Dovecote.
Is this confirmed?
Seems an odd route given King has had previous success in the Adonis before.
Zarks, should I refer to you as Alan from this day forth?
I’ve said from day one the winner will come from the Adonis, and looking at the entries my confidence hasn’t been shaken.
My only concern is this Minsk character. Surely he must be half decent over hurdles considering the hype
In regards to Minsk hyped up Triumph horses generally don’t win the race. Can’t have him on my mind. Nice to see Dildar, Une Artiste, Grumeti & Saddler’s Risk running tomorrow. Should give us some indications on the Tiumph & possibly the Fred Winter.
Tomorrow should be interesting. Whatever Minsk does tomorrow i don’t think it will really enlighten us. His bubble will either burst or he’ll win nicely in a weakish race and the hype machine will roll on.
Looking at the Adonis i think Sadler’s Risk is the most likely winner and will be much shorter for the Triumph afterwards. The same with Grumeti too. By the end of tomorrow both will have shortened considerably and are my idea of the most likely winners.
If Minsk goes any shorter than 11/2 after (presumably) winning tomorrow then that really is poor value against some very good opposition.
I’m inclined to side with Grumeti at the moment, King often progresses decent flat horses (eg Franchoek) to becoming very useful hurdlers and from what I’ve seen Grumeti jumps particularly well and clearly has an Rhine. The good ground come the festival should be right up his street.
The WORST Triumph Hurdle I will ever seen. Incredibly dire.
Also, very true Zarks. Shocking!
Didlar not good enough, Sadler’s Risk no turn of foot, Baby Mix back in the reckoning. Minsk may have needed the run, but just looked ordinary. Grumeti’s turn awaits…

King could hold all the aces now.
