Yes I was pleased with that run and this race seems to be the target. Still around 20's so I'm considering topping up as, if he shows up with Ruby in the saddle - highly likely given he's WPM's only realistic hope - and the race cuts up as many expect, he'll likely go off single figures.Originally posted by Scooby91 View PostComment

I’ve put Winter Escape into a few multis this evening. Impressed by his run lto and looks a decent ew bet at 14-1, sea of blue on oddschecker for the Flogas as well.Comment

See Vinndiication is entered in both the Scilly Isles over 2m 4f and the Towton Novices Chase at Wetherby over 3 miles both on Saturday. Looking at Kim Bailey's Twitter account he name checks the Scilly Isles adding he is expecting rain later in the week. Do we think if he takes up that engagement he'd be unlikely to step him to 3 miles for the first time in the RSA if heading to the Festival?Comment

The Scilly Isles looks a good race. I hope he rolls the dice. 3 miles and left handed instead would make me fear for this race for himOriginally posted by Rhinestone_Cowboy View PostComment

Scilly Isles looks to be plan A lads & nice to see he doesn’t just see him as a soft ground horse.
Bailey said: “I am very happy with Vinndication since his last run at Ascot, he has had plenty of time to recover from it and it has always been the plan from when he went past the post to run at Sandown.
“Comparing him at home to the racecourse is a tricky one as he is a very laid back individual. He wouldn’t give you a huge amount of encouragement at home by what he does – he does it in his own way.”
All of Vinndication’s wins over jumps have been on soft ground, but Bailey is hoping to learn a little more about his preferred conditions at the weekend.
He said: “The ground is going to be the 100,000 dollar question and we will find that out this weekend. If they are putting frost covers down it will obviously make it softer or tackier.
“I have always said he is a horse that goes on soft ground but if you watch his action at home, he has got a very good ground action so I don’t know.
“I think it’s most probably a case of his previous opposition has been slowed down by soft ground where he has been able to handle it. So we will find out an awful lot on Saturday.”
Bailey explained why he did not run Vinndication in one of the novice hurdles at Cheltenham last year after his victory in the Sidney Banks Memorial Novices’ Hurdle in February.
“He was a very immature horse last year, and when he came back from his race at Huntingdon he had a touch of sore shins and you certainly can’t go to Cheltenham with sore shins or even attempt to,” he said.
“You have got to gallop downhill which puts more pressure on him and I just felt he wasn’t ready for it.”Comment

As someone in the comments section said, how does the interviewer not ask JLT or RSA?Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

I find it baffling when this happens. It’s literally the main question most people would’ve wanted asked.Originally posted by charlie View Post
I sometimes wonder if the trainer tells the interviewer beforehand not to ask that question because surely it’s the obvious thing to ask him? Surely?Comment

Let's play that game again ....He would have just said 'he's entered in both, we'll see how he gets on next time, let's take each race at a time'
