Bodhisattva for me. The Donny form has worked out well enough and looks rock solid in the extra place market
Sir Gino out for the season
Incredibly disappointing news but why Hendo again ?
Why all his 2 mile chasers ( and the odd Champion Hurdler ) ?Terresita – good form, still improving.
Her brother has just won three 3 mile chases on the bounce
Ballyburn’s jumping was perfectly fine at Leopardstown
Imagine Dancing City taking on Sir Gino over 2 miles…
I love that horse, BigS, and think Nico gave him a poor ride yesterday ( I’ve been unimpressed with several of his rides lately )
Hell probably run here but I think his best chance will be Aintree
Fact To File will run here now, surely ? A stiff 3 seems to test him so the Gold Cup would be beyond him
Unless he just waits for Aintree when GDC will be in his stable

Sir Gino
Galopin Des ChampsCheers, VTC
I’ve banged that drum for the last 20 years but it wasn’t desperate ground or conditions today and he looks potentially better than those
That effortless switch in the home straight spoke volumes for his talent and temperament
Lovely horse
I’d say that yesterday’s race pretty much guarantees that if Ballyburn runs at Cheltenham, it’ll be the Brown Advisory
He’s developing into a stayer, as his pedigree would suggest
He looked like the younger horse alongside Sir Gino yesterday
VTC – I think it’s a strange jockey booking for Nick Rockett
No chase experience under rules in one of the top three or four handicaps of the season ? Several of them have amateurs / conditionals in the saddle but Meetingofthewaters jockey has a 13% strike rateHorantzau d’Airy has Paddy O’Hanlon in the saddle and there’s no way on Earth I’m backing him over fences on what I’ve seen…so weak in a finish and tactically suspect
About 2/3 of the jockeys in this race have ridden no more than one winner at the course in the last five years
Will Do has been gambled on and his jockey is 0 from 34 at Leopardstown – how do you back that at 10-1 ?
” IEF had a pulmonary haemorrhage on his last start on the 17th November, Mark.
That is a massive setback.
May not be capable of the form he showed before.
…And if he is still capable it may well take longer to recover than just over 5 weeks.If interested in backing him I’d wait until NRNB. ” @gingertipster
I was aware of that but considering the likely defectors etc…anyway, it’s turned out alright and I can’t lose on the horse now
However, I’m also with Spillane’s Tower because I think he has the talent to become the best 2.5 – 3 mile chaser of the season
