  • Easy win for Fusil and clipped to 16s. Good performance

      The other 3 jumped poorly so I think FR was slightly flattered. That said, he did it nicely enough.

      • He looks good.

        Nice to see at the track as well.

        Shishkin has a stable rival

          I agree(and I've backed him any race for the festival). Wonder how many still think Getaway Trump is an Arkle horse

          • Can we realistically see NH letting FR run against Shishkin ? I'm assuming before long we might see FR stepoing up in trip, so could the Marsh Chase for FR be the way to go here ?

            • I thought I'd backed Fusil Raffles and I haven't.

              I think he looked decent enough, I'm not gonna back him at the current prices but he's alright isn't he.

                What else do the double green have?

                If The Cap Fits? He could be RSA.


                They'll look for a ride for Daryl in every race won't they? Regardless of the stables?

                I've never looked in to it though, DJ is average at absolute best.

                  Probably not but who knows. He said in the preview the plan re FR was to go over 2m5f but then went over 2m at Cheltenham. It's a long season. If something happens to Shishkin then there's every chance he goes Arkle as NH number 1

                    NH number 1 doesn't mean anything though really does it?

                    Brain Power was the NH number 1, one year.



                    If Shishkin gets injured it doesn't mean Fusil Raffles becomes any better...and he won't even get the jockey upgrade.

                    • Can see Fusil Raffle's being this seasons Mister Fisher, where a call on whether he runs in the arkle or marsh will be made at very last minute and it needn't matter as he won't be good enough for either!

                        Na doesn't mean anything I just mean he could end up there as his best hope - could well do so and still go off double figures

                        I can't bring myself to back Shishkin at the prices. I've had my fun with Shishkin

                          I'm half hoping Shishkin flops.

                          Klassical Dream and Elixir D'ainay are the two I like the most (price obviously a factor).... just absolutely no rush at all to do anything with Shishkin yet.

                          • Had to record Galvin race, and just managed to watch it back. Fetching performance, for me it shows it has plenty of stamina and always a good sign that after a few middling jumps in the early stages it did all it best work in the latter stages and jumped better towards the end, plenty left in the tank. Good work Lobos.

                            • Fusil was decent there i thought reminds me of Top Notch, but that might just be the colours and connections lol. Perhaps he'll head to the Marsh and if so, he's obviously got a tough task vs Envoi. Wins a good few on his way there though for me.

                                Inferior horse to If The Cap Fits for me... although ITCF I have down as more likely in the RSA.

                                SAme connections have anything else to try and slot in?
