After all the huff and puff with regards to Tom Segal and Frankel, he’s still only willing to play EW against him.
I thought Carronhills was impressive considering this was his first run back after a long break.
Jumped left, Maguire was very kind to him in the straight I thought. Off 130 he’ll win a good handicap – Will Hill Chase?Star Neuville entered @ Newbury tomorrow.
Looks a cracker of a race, be interesting to see how he fares.7 goto post

NolandBacked both Ogee & Chief Dan George eway when decs made @ 40s 1-2-3, still think WAF & RT are beatable for differing reasons.
He’s about 30lbs short of Gold Cup class I can just imagine Ruby and Sam or AP clambering to ask if they can get off Kauto and Denman to ride What A Friend.
If ratings are anything to go by Riverside Theatre 165 should be giving weight to What A Friend 159 but the way it works out What A Friend has to give him 4lbs so he’s 10lbs wrong.
I suppose it depends on whether you believe his second to Long Run in the King George is better form than What A Friend’s defeat of Money Trix in the Lexus.
Money Trix is certainly not Gold Cup class but Long Run certainly seems to be.
It’s not often I pay any attention to ratings but that 10lbs is a lot to ignore and surely cant be that far off the mark?
Ratings are only one mans opinion.
One mans 164 could be anothers 146.
A TRF podcast would be a good idea.
Either Football Ramble/Football Extra (Guardian) as the template.Fair enough. Riverside has won 3 times fresh and four times not. He’s also won twice at Newbury from 3 starts and came second the other. If that’s enough to rule him best fresh and RH then so be it but he’s good enough for me.
3?
His wins have been after the following break:
Debut / 217 / 59 / 54 / 212 / 31 / 193Defeats
35 / 27/ 13 / 25 / 79 / 37 / 75His best runs in defeat were after 79 days – Late rattle in the Arkle and 75 days – 2nd to Long Run
He’s best fresh – NAP
Totally disagree with the above posts.
I can’t find a more glorified woofer than What A Friend.
His win at Aintree last season has more holes than my mothers colander. Carruthers, a well placed and likeable sort, nothing special. Nacarat wasn’t the same horse we’ve seen this season, and Tom George was having a shocker last season.
He dogged it behind Denman in Hennessy last season and his head carriage is woeful.
How the hell did this horse win two Gr1s, oh he beat a still maturing Joncol on ground that was too quick for him, and Money Trix, the supposed great horse of Nicky Richards which we never see over here.Riverside Theatre, best fresh and RH?
This leaves it wide open for a skinner to win this imo.
One on a RH track, one LH
One over 2m1/2f, one over 2m
One carries different penalty structuresTwo totally different races when you end up reviewing the form.

The Tother OneI’d be surprised if Monets turns up now that Geraghty is on Poquelin.
Them two had a great partnership last season.
