    Quebecois entered at Newbury over 2 miles on Tuesday
    Might mean they’re thinking of the Jack Richards but we’ll see

    Gaelic Warrior for the Ryanair, surely

    It would be there for the taking and I’m not sure he’d stay the extra two furlongs a hotly contested Gold Cup

    Go back a few generations in the pedigree and you find Cooldine.

    He doesn’t race like an Ultima horse and is more like Cause Of Causes, who won the 4 miler, and Inothewayurthinkin, who won the Kim Muir off top weight and a similar rating.

    6-1 for the Kim Muir

    Oscars Brother put up just 3 lbs to 151.

    One of several horses who’d have run in the Golden Miller had it not been scrapped

    Guess much will depend on Final Demand and how happy they are with him in a few weeks time.

    I doubt they’ll want to take on Lulamba and Romeo Coolio ( potentially ) whilst they have Kopek ( probably ) and Kargese ( more distance dependent than KJP ) for the Arkle.

    Kaid D’Authie is JP and I doubt they want to send Kitzbuhel left handed after his Sandown fall.

    I think Ruby’s tipped / spoken favourably about Kappa Jy Pyke for the Arkle, then Pricewise must have listened to him cause he gave him a big mention

    I’ll have Gorgeous Tom each way but De Bromhead has been consistently out of sorts during the last few seasons and I’m hoping the horse has a prep lined up.

    Was the best of those to be held up in the Coral / Hennessy and is related to Cappa Bleu and, a bit further back in the pedigree, Cahervillahow..second in an Irish National, second in a Whitbread and second in the National that never was.

    The videos and close-up photos showed me someone intentionally falling off a horse

    She was 66-1 for the main event when I had my light bulb moment.

    ” I wonder if they’ve put the blinkers on Majborough ”
    i asked two weeks ago with news about Jonbon possibly going Ryanair

    Well it was the cheek pieces and haven’t they done the trick.

    Some bad runs in behind him though

    Well done HDLG 👍

    I backed him on debut at Ayr and then went against him at Cheltenham as I thought they’d be plotting a handicap but he’s proven to be a Graded level chaser

    ” it’ll kill Nicholls watching it ”

    Probably but I think Nicholls would have taken a different route. Couldn’t win a bumper in three attempts and would probably have sent him over further

    Well Chief one race at Taunton 6 weeks before beating Kicking King.

    More pertinent might be the gap between the two runs – vast majority of Arkle winners had race in the calendar year.

    Yeah, I think he’ll learn from that and with further schooling he’ll be right for Cheltenham

    Not ideal but still
