    A few of my NH horses for this year are out in the space of 3 weeks by the looks of things. Checked oddschecker an hour ago and saw this race pop up and there he was. Fine Rightly to win @ 16’s

    I thought he ran well against Douvan a ccouple of runs back but last time he was never put in the race in the slightest to my eyes.It was a very good race but hopefully that’s not all he has to offer this year. :heart:

    Oh God, there is not a Million Pound bonus or something is there ?

    I have backed jaleo here, pleased to see it jocked up as I was a bit worried it had only run on left handed courses so that may have been a problem? seen it run a few times and it looked fairly straightforward

    138 was the lowest mark to get in the county last year if memory serves me.. a comfy win could easily get him 9-10 lbs and then a couple for luck from the british assessor please :good: he is also priced up fairly low for the coral dup, what are your thoughts on this VTC?? I thought the win at galway shouted stay at 2 miles over hurdles

    A horse I like for this race is one nicky Henderson brought to the race track on boxing day and it’s called Charli Parcs won with any amount in hand liked the good ground jumped well and really picked up after the last!

    Just a bit worried about which race he will go for currently available to back at 16s for the supreme but might be a Neptune target?.thoughts on the horse and what race will they aim the horse at?.

    the horse is 2nd fav for the triumph as it is a juvenile mate..

    Far more bothered about the American Tom ride.

    Yet again he just allowed it drop away without making any visible effort. If it is injured pull it up, but if not, this sort of ride which appears to becoming commonplace for Walsh should be totally unacceptable. Had the Navan Steward’s nailed the Battleford ride it might have been a different story but it appears Walsh has his own set of Rules.

    My guess is Augusta Kate would have done well to have run the winner to three lengths. He has powered away from the last.

    got to agree here stilvi, death duty ran to the line like a strong stayer.. no surprise they have felt the albert bartlett may be the correct route

    for someone who rides so quietly and stylishly it was surprising and looked amateurish!! I had no bet on the race

    cause of causes British rating will be more than his Irish rating meaning the Kim Muir is highly unlikely indeed. He has been my saving grace the last 2 years and I have tipped him up at our small preview night for both wins. The druids nephew for me here though, back to a winning mark and run well at Sandown in the Whitbread. A previous winner off 146 in this race he finished down the field on his Ascot comeback effort off of 148,hopefully meaning a drop of a couple of pounds. Would be happy to see either an improved display in a chase before the Ultima or a nice hurdles run to prepare :good: 33-1 is huge
