Camelia de Cotte getting mark of 146,
Cannot see them running in a handicap now as she don't get the 7lb.
Effectively rated 153 which puts her right in the mix in the novice races.
If she's fit I reckon she goes JLT.
I know that Band Of Outlaws got a lump in the FW but otherwise not a bad day for Joseph? Tower Bridge in the Close Bros? Thermistocles in the Pertemps final? And perhaps they may rethink Kontikho for the Fred now?
Joseph has said so.
Price don't reflect it's definite.
Mark will be tempting.
JP got other horses going for Bartlett
So we'll see.
NRNB B365 20-1 coral cup if you need to cover a bartlett bet and you like the horse.
From RP:
Predicted ratings for bottom weights in the festival handicaps from the BHA handicapping team: Martin Pipe 134, County Hurdle 133, Grand Annual 137/138, Pertemps 135, Kim Muir low 130s, Plate 137, Fred Winter 130, Coral Cup 135/136, Close Brothers 137 and Ultima 137.
156 is still 5lbs less than his chasing mark which is what he’s achieved in graded races which I take more seriously than Marks achieved in handicaps.
Fingers crossed it’s in with a shout
Could have been better, could have been worse. Whisper won the Coral off 153 a few years back so not impossible. Like you say still rated below his chase form so has a chance. Hes been lumping round 11-10 most of season against some very good horses and not been out of place. I would say he has the other top weighted horses covered on ratings/form. My only doubt would something lurking down the bottom of the handicap carrying a feather being well in. (no idea which horse yet as not looked).
By the way don't we have a Coral Cup thread? I couldn't find it.
Gordon told me (i asked the question on mic) that he will run in the Ryanair and not over hurdles due to the mark he got today. Full writeup in preview thread
Davy Russell "The Storyteller getting 14Ibs is f**king scandalous"
He's either stupid, drunk or taking the p*** (and he isn't stupid).
This was flagged up as a plot on here months ago. Weeks ago, it was also flagged up as a flawed plot, on account of the UK handicapping rules being different from Ireland. I thought that he would get 150 to 155 and I daresay that they added a few on for cheek. He's won and been placed in G1 chases fercrissakes.
