Just trying to weigh up the position with Streets of Doyen...
Seemed to transform when stepped up to 3m in Sept 2020. Then ran 4 winning races in quick succession on good ground before being packed away for the winter (no injury as far as I know) on 24th October.
Has had a few entries recently but not lined up, the latest of which is this coming Thursday at Thurles.
Watched a snippet on Twitter the other day of John McConnell with some of his horses on the nearby gallops and he name checked SOD and said he was being prepped for the Bartlett.
Was a busy horse through summer/autumn 2020, possibly needs a run before Cheltenham?, but can seemingly bounce back quickly from his races. Would like to see him out this Thurs.
In what seems a fairly open race with no standout contender, he seems an interesting candidate and has 3m form (or the neck end of) at Cheltenham in the bank.
Has run on soft ground to no great effect but was over what now looks an inadequate trip. Will he need good ground to be seen at his best (or at all)?
Be interested in whether anyone can add any detail to the above?

Stated after his run at Chelt Run they were happy to have a winter Holiday with the deteriorate ground looming. They clearly feel he needs some sort of good in the going to showcase his best. I was worried about a possible hcap tilt given his lowly mark but up against less mature horses in the Ab with his 7yo 13race profile won't be no bad thing if he does stick to the AB.

The comments on the Twitter video were encouraging with regard to his target, so hopefully heading here... Think he was given a 138 rating when entered by JM at Mussellburgh over the same weekend Gordon sussed out the UK mark for a bunch of his. Would most likely get in the Pipe (imo) but feel he will head here, subject to ground.
Am hoping that B365 go NRNB shortly so I can balance out my position if they dangle a decent enough price..
Wow, Fakiera is best priced 8/1 for this.... that is mega short isn't it?
I know he's name dropped in the stable tour, but so is Torygraph at 14/1?
I went to back Fakiera to 'top up' as I took the 33/1 special but that's a mental price isn't it?!
I suppose it's relative to Stattler being fav at 7/1?
Not sure what I expected, am I way off here?
I know form lines would have Stattler slightly ahead but races in the book he's done more than him (and I'm a big Stattler fan). Fakiera has at least won a G3, placed in a G2 and obviously finished behind Stattler (only 2 lengths) on their last start behind Gaillard Du Mesnil (G1).
I know you like GDM for the Ballymore quite a bit so surely they must be up there with some of the strongest form lines?
Were have u been? Priced around that for a while now
You mean 'where'?
Kate Nash.
So he's been that price for a while, since the DRF I assume?
As I said, it seems a mental short price to me.... and as it's that price right now, it's relevant to mention... I haven't missed a big conversation debating his merits at 8/1 have I? If I have I apologise and I'll go back and read them.... if I haven't missed it, don't know what your point is?
