I must be going mad but I quite fancy… Mister Coffey. O from 15 over fences and his trainer has never won the race. However, he ran well from the front in 2023, going for home too early and fading from 2 out. He’s been consistent this season and if ridden a bit more patiently, he has a chance of making the frame. He’s best priced 80/1 with Unibet which is a bit of a concern but worth chancing.
That was just class to watch today. He finds another gear when challenged. Love the horse and hope to see him destroy them from the front next month. Undoubtedly the best since Kauto Star.
Thanks VtC, Green. Funnily enough my interest in him has cooled for the Triumph. He’s been a bit of a weak finisher in both starts despite winning. I’m sitting on a couple of lovely antepost tickets and won’t be cashing out but I’ll be hoping for some decent ground for him to see it out up the hill.

Thanks for running this, Nathan. I’ll get my entries in early for tomorrow:
Jasmin De Vaux & I Am Lorenzo (Sommesky)
Hello Neighbour NAP (Bacchanalian)
Gaoth Chuil NB (Patter Merchant)
Jeannot Lapin (Firefox)
Fact To File (Embassy Gardens)
Fascile Mode (My Mate Mozzie)
He Can’t Dance (Classical Creek)Other than me I haven’t see any fans of Hello Neighbour for this race or the Triumph. He did a lot wrong on his hurdles debut (from the little we could see) but still won. He will hopefully settle better this time. He’s the one for me.
I thought I had 2 easy subs until a routine check on my ATR tracker shows an entry for the until now missing Heart Over Head.
OUT: Legal Weapon
IN: The Long PointOUT: Milcree
IN: Our ChampVery nearly went with Sir Gerhard. I’m convinced he wins the County despite showing nothing this season.
I’ve had a couple of early each way bets here. Our Champ at 40s (backed him when 7th in this last year) and Favour And Fortune 25/1. Both are overpriced and if the ground has any ‘good’ in it on the day I’ll be hopeful both will hit the frame. I’m confident both are being aimed at this which is half the battle.
Usually the Supreme winner is pretty obvious by this stage but not this year. Salvator Mundi jumped like a seal last time but still won easily. Nothing else has done much other than The New Lion but his wins have come over further. A real head scratcher of a race

Constitution Hill, 5/6 – various (10/11 with some but smaller bookmakers who i don’t think count? Sporting Index and SpreadEx)Is Windbeneathmywings qualified to run, Rob? He’s now had 4 starts in bumpers. I thought it was 3 max?
EDIT: Just looked up the rules and he can run given one run was in a listed bumper
I’ve caved and back the two outsiders. Our Champ as mentioned in my earlier post at 33s and Tritonic who is a real Ascot lover. He hasn’t ran here over hurdles since winning this very race as a 4 year old, 3 years ago now. He’s 6lbs lower in the ratings but I’m hoping the track will bring him back to life and 40s is a fair price.
Premier two mile handicap hurdles are my most loved races and many of my favourite horses look set to line up. I won’t be having an antepost bet but if the ground is on the ‘good’ side I will have a stab at Our Champ. I have a soft spot for front runners and i think Ascot suits that type.
Heart Over Head. Aptly named for his heart shaped blaze, he’s well related and I liked his debut run in a bumper back in February. Slightly concerned I’ve not seen him entered up at all so far this season but if he’s in training, he’s one the look forward to when going jumping.
Patriotik into 12s now VtC and he’s my pick too. Lots to like about his form and if the rain arrives in time it should suit him.
