Haymount backers may not feel quite the same way about him!

I'm not sure where the signs that Haymount is a 4 miler come from? Best form is 2 and a half... not too far behind Bellshill and his only chase win. Got slammed stepped up in trip last time. Wouldn't fancy him at all personally. (Obviously see how tomorrow goes!)Comment

So , it was jono that started that off !, I saw earlier today that Edwulf was getting a few blue squares up on odds checker,
So thought i'd better grab some of the 20-1 that betfred still had .To do with jockey bookings and running sun i s'pose.Comment

not sure what to make of FFs run today. Jumped well and tired towards the finish. In need of the race???
Discuss......Comment

Yeah an odd run. Looked the winner for much of the race but a disappointing finish into 3rd. if you looked at this race in isolation you'd question whether he stays the trip but we know it shouldn't be a problem on previous form. He was giving weight to both...Originally posted by doctorwu View PostComment

Decent race I thought considering his time off and the fact this would not have been the target. Staying should not be an issue based on his Punchestown handicap win.Originally posted by doctorwu View PostComment

FF was giving 3lbs to BigBadJohn and 7lbs to Flintham and not beaten far.
I wouldn't be too worried if I had any slips for the 4-Miler. (If he runs)
Should come on for the runComment

Ideal prep for the race from what I saw, very encouraging!Comment

i agree, off level weights possibly the winner. very nicely pushed out for this as well. bit over reaction.Originally posted by Mon Brav View PostComment

just watched a re-run of the reynoldstown. There was a lot to like about the winner even if he was really novicey throughout the earlier part of the race. FF produced a solid professional performance, good jumping off a decent pace. he flattened between the 2nd last and last, but ran to the line. Quite happy with that. My only worry is that this race could be by-passed for the IN. Come on Fry show some balls, Curtis wont be dodging the challenge.Comment

On second watch though I still would have ideally liked to have seen a bit more at the end there Fletchers Flyer didn't tire as much as I thought when watching it live. Hopefully it was the weight taking it's toll along with if the Irish National and 4 miler have been the aims since last season, i'm sure they've held a bit back with the horse with those races in mind.
Fry has come out this morning saying American will likely go down the RSA route so that could make it more likely FF runs in thisComment

I personally could not side with any horse in a 4 mile race that has had a hard race just 3 weeks before the festivalComment

It's been a positive trend in recent years Liam, winners having prep in late Feb...Originally posted by Liammet View PostComment

Didn't do any harm last year Liam as jono pointed out with todays race in Ireland:
"It's worth noting that Sunday's race at Navan last year had:
1 - Measureofmydreams
2 - Noble Endeavour
3 - Pleasant Company
4 - Sub Lieutenant
PU - Shantou Flyer
F - Black Hercules"
Have to admit though, without looking in to this (or reading it after someone else has looked in to it) I would have definitely been avoiding them too....
Would be interesting to know who will come on for the run most. On face value there wouldn't be any reason to back FF over BBJ yesterday?Comment

They did look to have hard races on heavy ground thoughLast edited by Liammet; 20 February 2017, 07:03 AM.Comment
