Mitchouka looking FW bound CNC according to Gordon earlier.
Couldn’t agree anymore regarding the ground, think the quicker it is the more chance there is for Shakira to get turned over.
I’m dizzy just reading how many times Ginge has run around in circles.
Steeple, Many Clouds had superior stamina. His threshold was higher than that of his opponents, it’s that simple as Voleur has been stating for the past 3-4 pages in my opinion.
The term ‘class’ or ‘classy’ I see as a horse that can perform to the same level regardless of trip, so basically a horse that can ADAPT his speed & stamina to suit the distance being run. Kauto Star being a perfect example.
Hope after all this that Supasundae wins the Stayers
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Indian Castle looks a decent bet at the prices.
Supasundae also didn’t appear to like the front running dolly work he had to do (wondered a little bit) and ground would’ve been a little softer than ideal. Thought it was a massive run personally.
I’m not saying he’ll win but he’s got a solid e/w chance. Will enjoy the pace, course & ground.
Could argue 7s is short, especially if Finians/Bacardys/Yanworth turn up who are unexposed at the trip.
Thanks for running this VTC.
Champion Hurdle – Defi De Seuil 20/1 Lads/Corals 1pt e/w
Stayers Hurdle – Supasundae 7/1 Various 1pt e/w
Gold Cup – Our Duke 11/1 Lads/Corals 1pt e/w
Not had a proper look at this race yet but the Dr. Newland hoss that’s running for the first time since arriving from France has been well backed it seems.
Confidence probably all over the shop aswell, was only 2 weeks between Sandown & Ascot. Thought he should’ve been give 3-4 at least to get over the trouncing at Sandown before running again.
Staying hurdles may make the man of him but not sure myself now. Love the horse but think Tizzards campaign may have ruined him for this season at least.
That’s why I’ve been playing with Hills’ market as they still have reasonable prices with an added insurance.
Generally mug punters that get excited over NRNB coming into force so early (Not you MOM
)PP NRNB now also on the lot.
Hills’ offer has quite a few value prices if you are able to identify horses that are very likely to only turn up in one race or not at all. Our Duke GC one for example I like the price of.
A lot of horses don’t realise until late on in their first run back after a WS that they can breathe so a lot of the time the second run is better than first one back.
Pure opinion at the moment, but I’ve heard it discussed quite a few times before.
I’ll take on 99% of the short priced fav’s at the fez probably as that’s just the way I bet. The only horses I think are rock solid and hard to oppose –
Buveur D’air
Apple’s Jade
SamcroRest all have doubts, big and small and will happily take them all on.
Added cracking smartfor this @10/1, i think over further he would reverse the form with ND over this trip
Also had a point e/w on him earlier. Money today for him was telling and he ran really well staying on strongly.
ND looks a good hoss but not sure he’d want a stiff 3 miles just yet. Mullins mentioning the Supreme in one of his interviews was telling.
I had a little e/w on him earlier now the WH offer is in place. Hobbs said he scoped badly, which would ring true with the stables form and if he goes to the fez surely it’s this race or nothing.
Can’t see him beating Buveur D’air but he’s a good e/w shout at the price.
Thought the winner done it well but in the end took advantage of those in behind hating the ground or not being up to expectations.
Kalashnikov stayed on well despite the ground (thought he might’ve struggled slightly with it but not that badly) and with good ground and a decent pace he could run well in the Ballymore. I would look at the Martin Pipe myself however (depending on the mark he gets) as the Ballymore looks a hot race this year.
Based on Amy’s twitter she seems in the mindset that Cheltenham is happening, and she mentioned Ballymore after the race.

Some ride from Aspell on the winner and an underrated training performance from Longsdon to get PTF primed so well again.
Gamble on Houblon looked big near the off, a few burnt bigtime there.
Racing Post trying to stir up a Veterans race move to the fez earlier I thought was crazy. Perfect as it is at the moment.
