Does anyone have a top bet for the coming meet, any race?
I am clueless this year. I am tempted to avoid the National as last year my four horses all got round but if memory serves it was in 6th place onwards..! :angry:
Its kinda hard to say when there is currently no cards availble to see the entries but i think if Alfie Flitts goes in the bumper he’ll win.
Hopefully, Al Eile will go for the Aintree Hurdle again. He ran ok in the Champion Hurdle and has won at this meeting for the last 2 years. With Hardy Eustace and My Way De Solzen in the line up he could be good value
I think maybe numbersixvalverde in the national at this stage but much too early to say

Senorita Rumbalita will take some beating in the 2m novice hurdle.

Handicapper has caught up with him
My way de Solzen possibly. especially if ground a bit soft. Some will carp the distance of the race, but I believe he has the class.

Yeah but he would definitly want it softish. Class won him a poor enough stayers on ground not ideal but I would be surprised if some two miler steping up couldnt beat him in this.

Alan King said that My Way de Solzen would most likely run in the 3-mile hurdle on Thursday. He would only take on Hardy Eustace et al if it came up heavy. Given that the forecast for Monday onwards is for cold northerly winds with little or no rain, this seems unlikely.
Rule out Good thyne Jack at your peril but did he look to all of ye as if he was trying at cheltenham…How could ya say the Handicapper caught up with him the way he was ridden
Yeah, the Coral Cup at cheltenham is an excellent place for schooling horses for aintree.

I fancy Turko for the 4yo hurdle on Thursday. I don’t see this track suiting Detroit City.
I think Turko is just a vulnerable as Detroit City around Aintree. He’s ecrtainly suggested he’ll stay beyond 2m and seemed to outpaced as much as anything at Cheltenham. Though I think Detroit City is going for the two and a half mile novice. Aintree will surely play into the hands od Fair Along. Though the Triumph did cut up badly this year and it wouldn’t surprise me (this is without seeing the entries) if something won at Aintree that didn’t contest the Triumph at Cheltenham.
