Johnny Ward's column

Elliott is nursing the high-class Sutton Place back to health after he sustained an injury earlier this year. A hugely promising sort, he has not been seen since last April.

JP McManus’ racing manager Frank Berry told The Times: “I wouldn’t like to say when he might be back but we’ve had to be patient. He’ll go novice chasing.”

Sutton Place was one of the most touted young horses in Ireland before his setback. He is as low as 12-1 for the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, this a race the Irish could dominate.

Berry added that Great Field could return in spring. The brilliant chaser has not been seen this season and is a lively candidate for the Champion Chase.

Not outpaced today like LTO, Ballymore not out the question either I'd suggest?

Couldn't rule it out buy I'd be 95% sure AB was the target. Breeding, trainer comments, the way he won over 2m5f, trhe 'competition' in the BAllymore .... .all lean towards AB




**** Open mouth, insert foot*****

My 95% is now 5%..... Hendo saying he doesn't think they'll go up to 3m again!!!!

Ballymore.
Damalisque 220.0
Sharjah 100.0
Ok corral 230.0

That should be me done with the ballymore now. Got the first 3 in the betting well covered. And if the cap fits will slot in there in time. Anything else I can see winning I have at 3 figures. So touch wood should be all set.

Politiologue 14/1 Champion Chase.

I can see the 2m at Cheltenham playing to his strength. Good run tomorrow might see him shorten. Wouldn't be disappointed with him placing tomorrow and will be better on the spring ground.

Ok corral supreme 320.0

Watched him back. To be fair I only ever watched the yorkhill race where he looked like a trip would suit but to be fair he was facing yorkhill who showed real pace so it would have been some ask to go with him tearing away in a bumper. He ran a bit green but he obviously showed huge ability. He ran simular in his bumper before that beating the pacey high bridge over 2m which is solid form. Lost his novice hurdle status over 2 against some poor opposition going clear on the bit. Knowing henderson I'd be certain he goes over 2m next. So I think poss ballymore but hes a sure fire winner over 2m next time out. If they can keep him sound which may be a big ask in itself. He's a strong contender. He wouldn't have a too dis simular profile to moon racer last year.
But after losing his novice status if they keep him sound. He's a definite contender for a Cheltenham novice race Rather than pitching him up in a champion hurdle.

484 pts staked
43 pts are now Non Runners after Finian's Oscars "performance" today.

[Faugheen_Machine]

10% of non runners isn't bad Kev, I've had years when my non runners have totaled 40%. Long way to go though

A few weeks ago I availed myself of the generous prices offers by WH in an e/w Yankee;
Politologue ChChase @ 12/1
Sceau Royal Arkle @ 25/1
Min Ryanair @ 10/1
Ballyandy JLT @ 33/1
So getting all excited after today, I know Min might go for the ChChase but has anyone heard where Ballyandy is going next?
