        I don't think it's an official agreement between Power and Robcour - but I could be wrong.
        It is- he has an agreement with Robcour and rides for them. Would hope Blackmore might keep the ride on BO as it just makes sense.

          Is Tizzard likely to have a runner in this as that would tie up Robbie Power.

            I'm not sure what way that would work..presumably he'd ride the one he chooses, i dunno.

            Blackmore might well keep BO anyway as she's been riding. She should.

            • The top 3 in the market here, were beaten first time out over 2m....


              I did the research on this and it's VERY RARE they actually go on to win.


              Is this a market where we need to be looking at horses not in the mix yet?

              I know Bob Olinger is a forum horse, but let's put that aside..... are the front 3 really that unbeatable?

                I think this is where the loss of post Cheltenham NH season last year has affected plans for this year, I love a trend but I’m prepared to ignore a few for this season on the strength of that...

                  Is the general trend that they start off over further or that they win over 2m? Or a bit of both?

                    Without checking, plenty didn't run at 2m.... the angle was definitely "beaten at 2m FTO is bad"... but literally all 3 fall to it....


                    Might be worth looking for bigger priced horses though, I can see the logic.

                    • Can't see beyond the top 3. They all look really solid. Could be a belter of a race between them. Probably one of the best of the week?

                      • Boothill and Cape Gentleman are two I've wanted to see again, especially the former. I thought he looked to have a massive engine, and I'm not overly taken by any of the front three. I'd definitely be more willing to forgive BO losing to FH than the others losing on debut, I doubt too many of the horses in that particular trend went up against the Supreme fav over 2m and pushed him all the way to the line!

                        • Bob olinger reminds me a bit of battleoverdoyen

                          Still looks like a big baby and is definitely one for next season

                          I'm on him and think he's the likeliest winner but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he wasn't streetwise enough to win

                          Gaillard du mesnil has beaten absolutely nothing and got walloped by holymacapony so hes far from bombproof and imo should be a much bigger price (16/1-18/1)

                          Bravesmansgame you know full well Nicholls is thinking of next year and chasing and the British horses don't look a vintage bunch

                          They are definitely beatable

                          If he was switched back here from the supreme appreciate it would be a confident selection

                          • On the trends front it's only fair to add that the Ballymore has been just about the strongest festival race for the market leaders.
                            Irascible and My Drogo are two that could still come to the fore if aimed at the race. I think Irascible could be a live one in the Supreme too.

                                Goes for the Supreme I think
