Cheers MOM - looks a good type for the Aintree Bowl so could be a shrewd move.

Thanks guys.
I'm struggling to see any part of his form that would even be considered Gold Cup material, so based on this I am happy to stick some pts on him for this race

COD,
Would you be worried with his form this season?Comment
-
Not at all, his seasonal debut was solid, and had he not been so far back he may well have won that day too, his second run he was staying on when fell, albeit I don't think he would have won, but it would have been a fair run given the quality of that race, and his last race you could say he was never in it but it was by no means a bad run.Originally posted by doctorwu View Post
His course form is 1-1-B-2-2 which, for me, is a big positive.Comment
-
He just doesn't look the same horse this season. I was really positive for his chances last year but not so this year. I'll probably still back him but not to the extent I did last year.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

His last run puts me off slightly but he is now only 3 lbs higher than he was at the festival last season. He'll be one I'll be watching with interest this weekend, that's for sure.Originally posted by doctorwu View PostComment

Thats the problem FM. carrying 3lbs more and not in the same form. He couldn't win the race last year, although thats a tad harsh.Comment

He probably hit the front too soon last season imo but if that is the case he's going to be a difficult horse to win with.Originally posted by doctorwu View PostComment

Road to riches 146.
Is he gone at the game. Or still got it off that mark at this level?https://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

As there appears to have been a little nibble I have added Gold Present.
If he goes I presume he has two options, this race or the Ryanair. Having gone up in trip it seems unlikely they will go back, particularly in a Grade 1. This race will almost certainly not have a big weight range and most of the improvers will be kept out by old timers having a day out. The horse is a terrific jumper and might just have enough class.Comment

On ITV yesterday they mentioned Gold Present getting a hike on the back of Frodons win yesterday is this possible I didn't think it was. They basically said Nicky should run GP before he gets reassessed.Comment

Gone at the game probably.Originally posted by Scooby91 View Post
Too elaborate as a plot horse?
Like More of That without the colours

There was no entry for Singlefarmpayment in the National today. Has anyone heard of everything was ok after he pulled up on Saturday?Comment

I don't know but I do know he has been a pretty frustrating horse for punters. I was on at 25/1 (some had taken bigger) on Saturday and at last year's Festival when he was the winner everywhere bar the line. He is only 8 but I wouldn't be in a rush to part with any more cash. They did say they were going to ride him more prominently on Saturday so what was he doing out the back in the first place? A number of people have talked Heskin up but I have my doubts about him lasting.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View PostComment

Not sure you can attach any blame on Heskin for those rides. He has been a bit of a cliff horse for me too. I was considering backing him again for this but much prefer Gold Present, whose form took a boost with Frodon winning on Saturday.Comment
