I can’t see Michael Buckley being ‘economical with the truth’ as regards Solix’s work with Oscar Whiskey, Fist. Indeed, he made a point of stating that he didn’t know what each horse was carrying and suggested that Solix was not worth backing at 7/1 off top weight.
As for Tartan De Sarti, he just doesn’t stay.
Already on Salden Licht at 8’s and happy with that…
Couldn’t have been more impressive cantering all over horses (in a proper race) and giving lumps of weight away….Hunterview franked the form a little last week and Alfie Spinner ran well last week to frank the form a little too…
Salden Licht to beat Get Me Out Of Here!!
Waiting on GMOOH for a much anticipated 110/1 double after getting kilcrea kim last week. Anyone know the riding arrangements? JP obviously has Kempes running on the same day. That would be a tough decision for McCoy I would have thought – if indeed he has the decision.

No need to panic but unknown to most Get me Out Of Here was found to have a back problem which he has been treated for. He’ll have done some real serious work lately so I imagine as a precaution they’ll be waiting to make sure he doesn’t show any ill effects before he’s declared as a definite runner.
All being well GMOOH is his intended mount.

22 declared to run……looks a lot tougher when you see the full card all jocked up
Walkon is a Grade 1 horse off a lenient mark. Happy to chance he’ll have recovered from Ascot.

It has been mentioned in numerous articles, Fist.

I’m with Walkon, too.
Ran close to his previous best – in a 2nd choice race, that at the time was probably seen as no more than a CH warm-up – enough to encourage connections to change course, and take this in on the way.
Can’t believe that GMOOH will find the requisite 15lbs or so improvement that he’ll need to duplicate last year’s win.Surely the ‘bounce factor’ has to go against Walkon….
Can’t disagree with the horses class and being pretty well in, but after such a hard race after a long lay off you have to worry in possibly the most competitive handicap of the season to date!!
I reckon Chocs pick will prove the wrong one and Wayne Hutchinson will be the one to benefit!!

Having already backed both
Iolith
(16/1) and
Recession Proof
(16/1) – as per the first page of this thread – I’ve now thrown Evan Williams’s
Tarkari
(33/1) in to the mix.
He raced keenly in the Greatwood in November before falling when beginning to make headway and ran a reasonable race behind Oscar Whiskey last weekend when massively disadvantaged by the weights. That was his first outing for a while and he’s likely to have come on a good deal for it.
As long as the pace is sound throughout, he has a chance.
Hi All, New to the forum so thought i’d pitch in with an opinion on this race.Does look very open with some great value as always in this race. I fancy
Soldatino
to go very close and may have a little nibble on
Bothy
e/w ( Althought trainer quoted as wanting it softer) good early season form behind Menorah.

Solix 18/1 on Betfair, not running then?

More likely the market just correcting itself after the crazy prices this hit earlier in the week. Bearing in mind Punjabi failed to win this off 150 before going on to place in the CH and Solix is running off 152! He really would need to be something special to take this on his first start in England.

Can’t believe that GMOOH will find the requisite 15lbs or so improvement that he’ll need to duplicate last year’s win.If you don’t fancy GMOOH can do it why would you think Walkon can?
His best form to date has to be his second to Zaynar with Somerby back in third. I would have to think GMOOH’s form in the Supreme against Menorah Dunguib and Oscar Whisky is better as his rating suggests. Of the two the course will suit GMMOH much better.
Walkon’s return race was run to suit him better than any horse in the race. With the mad front running Frascatti Park and Old Loch Derg yup there it’s little ownder the race fell apart…….Pipes wasn’t anywhere near fit and I very much doubt if Walkon needed it any more than Soldatino who was hacking all over him before clearly blowing up.
My problem with walkon is simple. If ever a race was not made for him it’s this one. The majority of horses in this race are hold up horses, certainly the better ones are so the emphasis should be on speed more than stamina and that is dead against Walkon.
I’ll be shocked if he has the speed to win this but I can see him running on late for a place.
You have to love the Tote Trophy though. Betfred prices…Walkon 7/1 could easily bounce, Get Me Out Of Here 8/1 out of form all season, Solix 8/1 not even Nicky Henderson knows what he’s likely to do. Final Approach 8/1 no form line to say how good he actually is.
Not one of them straightforward. we might all be wishingwe had put our cash on Finians at 4/9 with corals
I’ve had a good bet that Get Me Out of Here starts favourite for this so I am hoping JP turns up coin in hand and smashes into him……but even if he does I doubt if even he can swing round things as the punters keep hammering into Walkon.
I’ve never laid a horse at his price for any great amount of money but if Riverside Theatre wins tomorrow and Walkon is around 6-7 to lay I will be doing just that…..I reckon he’s a stonewall certainty to lose.
I cannot understand the negativity about ERADICATE-OK he won on G/F at Haydock, but he has also won twice on G/S which it may well be tomorrow. However, if it comes up very soft or heavy then there will be problems. We will see what Henderson says in tomorrow’s RP.
I am considering ditching S/LICHT-why? Thornton has opted for Walkon-am I right???
regards,
doyley
Can not see why Soldatino is big, I expected him to go off around the 7/1 favourite mark. Soldatino and Get Me Out of Here against the field for me.
