I was hoping it would be Five O'Clock instead. I'm not going to knock Lord Royal as he's yet to jump a fence but his lack of race experience prevents me getting on board.

I'm not a fan of Lord Royal just yet, and he goes against a horse I do like, and have backed, in Sams Profile.

Nicky confirms shiskin likely for kempton on Monday

Below the belt Q - I'm also on Galvin at a tasty price for the NH Chase and have also backed Janidil TWAR.

wasn't meant in an arsey manner.
I've no idea if or where he'll turn up in march. Bit early to determine as I've mentioned - especially this particular horse,
hope it's where you want him.

Were there any comments on Darver Star after his last run? Saw a comment on Twitter about him going back to hurdles, but no idea if it's accurate or not. If he goes back to hurdling could be one for the Stayers? Sky & Unibet have him priced up at a pretty slim 14/1 & 16/1 respectively.

Can see the tweet here:

Update
Just found this which says he'll continue over fences and likely stick to 2 miles to avoid Envoi Allen

Elixir D’Ainay entered up at Navan on Sunday in Willies favorite starting point for a lot of his Arkle hopes

My favourite post so far this decade.


Al Boum Photo and Min..... future staying chaser Elixir D'Ainay




Footpad, Douvan, Vautour all ran in the race.



Elixir D'ainay - the next STAR.




I'm reading more in to this entry than I do race course gallops

Footpad, Min, Douvan & Vautour (who obviously went JLT) but still it’s some roll of honour. Fingers crossed for a dec on Friday!

Yeah, Vautour went JLT to be split with Un De Sceaux (who was an out and out 2 miler then) so Ruby could have a crack at both with a fav.

Bodes well anyway, I think anyone on him is on him for Arkle and Marsh.



I am looking forward to that declaration so, so much.

Surprising that he's so openly saying he'd avoid Envoi Allen!

He'll change his tune when Elixir D'ainay absolutely wallops him at some point over 2 miles and he's running scared


Fair play though for anyone who thinks he'd not be going up in trip, a bit of a contradiction in my opinion from what he's said previously.


I'm on him for the Arkle anyway, but was planning to cash out and probably still will!

Imagine him getting done by Pic D'Orhy - I will get slammed

I would appreciate any views from this forum on COKO BEACH.

Im very keen to get him onside, just don't know the route yet.

One would think he'll be going to the festival judging on the last 2 seasons. I was very impressed with his performance 1st time out narrowly losing to Pencilfulloflead (who could be very good) over 2.6m. They have an engagement over 2.4m on Friday @Gowran Park which may "let the cat out of the bag" so to speak. He's only 5 (6 come fez) so you'd think a handicap like the Brown Advisory where Novice chasers excel could be right up his sleeve. They'd need to mind him if he's going that route.

Any views most welcome. TIA.
