Can anyone tell me the conditions of this race? Is there a ceiling? Mark usually needed to get in?
Looks to me as if Hughie Morrison may be teeing up secret squirrel for this with his run in the kingwell?
Olly Murphy nominated indeevar bleu as his best chance at this years festival for the coral cup. Subsequently backed in from 25’s to 12’s.
I was in the William hill office of kempton park on Boxing Day when he was stood in there with Max McNeil and the horse absolutely dotted up.
Couldn’t back anything in here with someone else’s money now personally. Think it’s a pig awful renewal.
Jipcot 2nd fav on the back of winning a Mickey Mouse race at Leicester. 50 million year old Sam Brown top weight. Most the field well beaten in lesser grades last time out now making a jump into a higher grade.
The horse racing equivalent of Tuesday afternoon in spoons. Thugs, Uggs and Drugs.Emma Lavelle in the weekender today saying Kings Threshold won’t run on soft.
I pulled the trigger in the end ante post and now it’s looking unlikely to run!
Although Ascot does drain quickly and there’s not much rain forecast Friday and Saturday I think the damage may have already been done to the ground.
Myretown is surely gonna put it all in one day. Isn’t he? He’s well handicapped. But this is last chance saloon for him now with me.
Kings Threshold looks the progressive one in the race to me so I’ll take some of the 7’s with Hills if it’s still there tomorrow.
That said, it’s a big enough field so I’m not sure of the justification for taking something ante post. Wouldn’t imagine the price of much is going to shorten much after decs.
Wouldn’t you say F2F had the harder race though?
Haiti’s biggest question mark is class, I will freely admit that. And his form is absolutely not the strongest in the line up. But he’s loads going for him at the same time. People dismissing him as having no chance are naive at best. This is a classic case of “if it was Mullins training it he would be much shorter”
That’s a fair assessment Ld73. But I think he’s got more to come. There are massive question marks over the others around him and ahead of him in the betting.
F2F not certain to run, huge question mark around whether he (and the others who ran in the race) have left their race behind in Ireland.
Jango Baie another undertook to stay.
The jukebox man looks solid if unspectacular.
Grey Dawning I think is still a live outsider but will need to improve a ton from trials day.
Haiti Colouers has the least questions around him based on that run. If maybe not the most talented in the field, we know he stays and we know he jumps.
Nonsense Ruby. The horse is probably the best jumper in the field. And has the engine to go a good gallop on any ground.From the front, those attributes are huge in a GC.
This is a serious contender for me. The way he jumps will have everyone in trouble! Putting 10l after the last between him and LHP on that kind of ground is a serious performance!
I’m with All in you as well. Backed him at 5’s ante post and have pressed up further at 7’s and in a double with Jig’s Forge in the following race.
All in you will love the ground. The concern is trying to come from last turning in to being in front of them all on the line in that ground. I’m hoping plenty will have had their eyeballs sucked from their sockets on the run to the line. It’s going to be as tough as it gets. And I couldn’t have the favourite personally. If it’s as well in as it’s claimed to be it should have won its previous race without too much trouble. Might just be one of those always flatters to deceive types!
Personally, I love nothing more than watching jumps racing taking place in conditions like we’re going to get tomorrow and Monday. Mud flying, hearts being worn on sleeves, carried out on their shields type stuff.
Love it.
No Mike it isn’t speculation. And it is true. You’re lying through your teeth and everyone else on the forum thinks you’re an utter
Mike, I don’t wish to turn this into a pile on aimed at you and I’ve told you privately I respect you for your opinions on racing and it’s clear for all to see that you are a huge fan of the sport.
But the incessant lies regarding your fantasy prices means nobody can take you seriously. You’re attempting to treat the rest of us as fools. However. Ultimately the moderators of the forum are where the buck stops for allowing you to continue to post the utter nonsense you do.
