    Racing Post ground update…
    The going is now soft all over on the New course, with the track drying back from soft, heavy in places yesterday.

    I am very surprised Sir Gino is declared. I didn’t think Henderson would want to run him when giving away a penalty. Although I suppose there is still time to take him out, with the state of the ground a ready made excuse.

    There’s still time to enter him in the Southwell shitshow…

    “I am very surprised Sir Gino is declared. I didn’t think Henderson would want to run him when giving away a penalty.”

    I’d say he’s feeling quite confident the horse will take care of business.

    Shame he didn’t have the confidence to put him over fences … I’ll be honest I hope he gets tucked up and Henderson is left looking a fool

    I think your general antipathy towards Henderson has been registered by everyone on this forum, HDLG.

    If he runs, I think he will win. I just didn’t expect to see him here.

    Does Henderson feel under any sort of obligation to have a runner in this race? It was a surprise when he ran Constitution Hill last year.

    I very much doubt it. Unibet wouldn’t put horses’ wellbeing at risk and i don’t feel they would tell Henderson what to do with his horses, he knows more about the game than them.

    Maybe Hendo’s secretary has run out of paper so she can’t print it on the type writer which in turn means she can’t take a photo, upload it onto her computer and put it on twitter… :mail:

    I think there’s zero chance of Skelton banging The New Lion out in front today. He didn’t like being left in front at all last time.
    I think they should’ve had a pacemaker in this for him.

    Sir Gino will most likely make the running and it’s up to Nico what fractions he sets. A slow pace won’t suit Skeltons horse but then again, a slow pace could make Sir Gino guess at one.

    Best thing Skelton can do is sit on Sir Ginos wing and try to force the pace.

    The other 2 will probably use this as very well paid public schooling lol.

    You might be right but he beats him by getting him of the bridle , if there both off the bridle up that hill then there’s only 1 winner , Gino maybe the better horse but I’m getting a bigger price on the horse with the better form in the book

    Sir Gino to beat Nemean Lion is my only bet. I hope this turns out to be more of a “trial” than the Cotswold.
