This is the strongest looking entry I’ve seen for this in years.
Straight off, the likes of………
Delta Work
Feronily
Churchstonewarrior
James Du Berlais
Tyre Kicker
Three Card Brag………would all be Antepost contenders in a normal year, but this is bloody tough
Coko Beach is one of those that I can’t leave alone in races like this, and though off top weight, makes huge appeal. Jockey booking could be crucial. I’m also conscious that he might have a quieter season, with The Cross Country now a handicap, but he basically bets himself for me
Chianti Classico was really impressive on Saturday, and though I can’t see him travelling over, I think he can progress outwith handicaps this year, and he’s one I’d consider.
If I put my sensible head on, then American Mike or Chemical Energy, off what look fair marks, should be high on the shortlist. I think they have an obvious look to them. It’s their stablemate Riaan though, who I’m veering towards, and though I’m going to try and hold fire with an Antepost, Riaan is looking like the one who’d maybe see me buckle. No doubt though, I’ll probably end up with The Goffer
Riaan
November 15, 2024 at 11:35 #1712721Happy that a good few on the shortlist don’t go. I’ll certainly have a side bet on The Goffer, just in case, but he’s hard to recommend.
Riaan surely has a target this year, and one I’m keen to stay on the right side of
Riaan 22’s EW6Pls
November 16, 2024 at 18:46 #1712983I’ll try The Short Go ew 5 places
November 16, 2024 at 18:57 #1712984Tyre Kicker just failed for me last time so may be he has a bit more pressure in him this time.
The more I know the less I understand.
November 17, 2024 at 09:21 #1713032Lisnamult Lad 14s
November 17, 2024 at 09:43 #1713036Elliot has near half the field , American Mike is the class act and will be played , at some point The Goffer is going to hit form so will get each way tickle
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
November 17, 2024 at 12:12 #1713050Life in the Park for me.
November 17, 2024 at 13:22 #1713053Some rogues in this. Just trying to see the wood through the trees is hard enough. I’ll have a small go on Yeah Man and Riaan.
I don’t know why I bother with these Irish handicaps
November 17, 2024 at 14:19 #1713057Fakir d’Alene for me. Course form and an interesting mark.
Fakir d’Alene 33/1 EW
November 17, 2024 at 14:31 #1713060Lisnamult Lad is my very tentative selection at 14-1
November 17, 2024 at 14:57 #1713071I really didn’t enjoy watching it. Hopefully no more than two fatalities, one of them was poor Curchstonewarrior.
Well done winners, in case one of you had him on his Elliott “shortlist”.
