I still think the short go is well handicapped and now I’ve just heard De Bromhead say he’s heading to this I’ll take some 20’s.
I don’t buy these silly narratives that because the British horses usually win this race an Irish horse can’t!
February 27, 2026 at 16:40 #1756543Quite like Resplendent Grey who ran well at the Festival last season
Each Way [NRNB] @ 25-1 [bET 365]
February 27, 2026 at 23:48 #1756608I echo that, GB.
Murphy reported as saying this is the target for Resplendent Grey (also in the Gold Cup) and at 25/1 NRNB, he looks an attractive bet. 4th in the NH chase before winning the Whitbread, then began the season over 20f to win the Colin Parker. Well fanced for the Hennessy next time, he dwelt in that chaotic standing start and was left well off the pace (usually likes to lie up). Ran the best rating of his career last time at Windsor behind Protektorat – trip shorter than ideal. Looks significantly over-priced with that money-back offer.

March 8, 2026 at 08:27 #1757578A lot of talk about Jagwar but he’s a bit of a weak finisher in my eyes , in no way would u want him in a fight
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
March 8, 2026 at 10:17 #1757591Jonjo is down to ride Iroko and not Jagwar.
March 8, 2026 at 10:25 #1757592Good – means Jagwar will hopefully get a decent jockey.
March 8, 2026 at 11:35 #1757604Cross Iroko off the shortlist, then.
March 8, 2026 at 16:50 #1757644Jagwar ew 5 places
March 8, 2026 at 17:16 #1757648I’m leanings towards Leave Of Absence, definitely if there is any ‘good’ in the going description. I think he should be a lot shorter than 20s.
March 8, 2026 at 20:31 #1757671Added Search for Gloy. Good form in Ireland in two big handicaps. Ran decent enough here last year and is now on a lower mark. If Iroko drift a bit on the day I will back him too. Could be a grade 1 horse.
Filander 80/1 EW
Search for Glory 40/1 EWMarch 10, 2026 at 08:47 #1757856I’m with Blaze The Way 18-1 to win, and Filanderer 80-1 ew
March 10, 2026 at 11:15 #1757878Hadnt touched this apart from Handstands , added again along with
Konfusion , the yard thought he was a Gold Cup horse , he’s got class and I’ll be surprised if he’s not in the mix
Resplendent Grey , I always follow the Colin Parker form so
he,s covered toJohnnywho , they’ve thrown the kitchen sink at him here , only thing missing is a flashing beacon , he normally arrives on the scene to late however there’s a race in him , could be this
All played to win 3+ lengths

Blow Your Wad 16s (free bet)
March 10, 2026 at 12:26 #1757903Was praying Jonjo would take Jagwar as I fancied Iroko so strongly for this. Not so much now with him onboard. I thought Resplendent Grey was overpriced also.
My two :
Iroko – 9/1
Resplendent Grey – 20/1 win and 12/1 w/o the McManus pair.March 10, 2026 at 12:32 #1757905Quebecois 10-1.
The more I know the less I understand.
March 10, 2026 at 12:40 #1757915Backed two, Johnnywho 14s win and Filanderer 45s ew
