Le Breuil was trying to give Black Ivory 19 lbs at Aintree and was beaten 6 lengths. BI is now rated 132 ( I think he's slightly better than this) and on those ratings alone it makes LB a well handicapped horse.

That was going to be the short line I put in, in the Wednesday yankee thread for his chances.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View PostComment

Maybe it's just me who finds plenty of holes in his form. I'll just wait for the festival now, but I'm firmly against him and think he's been talked about plenty by a lot of pundits too, that may be a disappointment come the day of the race.Comment

Le Breuil?Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View Post
IfF you watch the video I think Pauling sums it up quite well. He feels 139 is very generous, however he hasn't done it yet so maybe the handicapper is right. Time will tell.Comment

Yeah, Le Breuil.Originally posted by Kevloaf View Post
Fair enough if connections think that, but I disagree
I'll be the one on the Wednesday sitting here thinking 'I wish I'd have listened to the guys on FJ' haha!Last edited by ComplyOrDie; 20 February 2018, 08:10 PM.Comment

Felt that the three that finished behind Total Recall at Leop - were all interesting types for Cheltenham Handicaps.
Missed boat with Flawless Escape but Oscar Knight is interesting for this race, was entered for tomorrow's pertemps qualifier, but taken out.
might sneak in at bottom in Coral if entered up. 25-1 Bet365.Comment

Not going to be a 1 dart race but I've had 1 pt e/w 25/1 NRNB and that'll be part of my my "team" hahaOriginally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostYeah, Le Breuil.

Ivanovic Gorbatov 33/1 and Barters Hill 33/1 are both in too at the moment....
Plenty of time to change my mind though!Comment

I had IG noted, but for the County, You think they'll step him up in trip?Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

I think they could yeah. Triumph horses usually end up wanting further and it is a feasible way to bring out some potential improvement too?Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View Post
I've backed County NRNB too thoughComment

Surprised to see Ivanovich Gorbatov not given an entry for this. I know you were very keen Faugheen...
Looks all systems go for the County (his only entry)Comment

Hadn't seen this Jono, glad he's got his County entry though, one I've already got covered.Originally posted by jono View PostComment

I'm surprised too. I thought a step up in trip could bring out a few lbs of improvement.
I'm on for the county but this was my preference.
What do you think FM?Comment
-
I'm surprised too.
I'll back him for the County hurdle. He went off 5/1 fav last season and ran a good race in 6th. He's going to be a few lb lower this season so should run another solid race.
I'm disappointed he's not in the Coral Cup though as I thought the extra distance could bring out improvement.Comment
-
Long House Hall going for this according to Harry Skelton who thinks he’ll run a big race. Surprised he is reverting to hurdles as looked good on his last chase start after being off since the summer.Comment

Because its a prep for the national I'm inclined to ignore him now. Plenty of horses will have THIS as THE target so I'm against him nowOriginally posted by Vautour View PostComment
