    Unlikely we’ve seen the half the field but of those that have appeared it’s Allmankind for me. Course experience crucial and he’s hosed up in all his races to date. With him, Aspire Tower and Goshen (who I couldn’t have personally - might jump into the ambulance yet alone beat it home given his wayward tendencies) there could be a ferocious pace so come the day I might look for a horse who can come off the pace...

    • Just looking at previous winners. Henderson has won 4 out of last 10. Has he got anything this year ?

          "a trip to Leopardstown for a Grade 1 might be on the cards for him next" Skelton after the Finale @ Chepstow. Nice turn of phrase btw

            We shall see.
            The standard already set, dosen't look anywhere near high enough to me. I think the current market leaders will be blown out of the water.

            There are multiple horses bought from france/ still trained in france, with prior hurdles experience that are Being held back for the business end.

            willie has a whole host of ex flat horses. With a variety of owners.

            Plus what ever else is bought. Between now and the race.

                  What's your take on Allmankind Scooby? Obviously don't rate him too highly with a statement like that!

                  Which 2-3 would you have vs. market leaders? Forgive me if you’ve mentioned them already in the thread, but I respect your opinion on the race. Gin On Lime one?

                  Whilst something could emerge from horses being held back, yet to be purchased, trained in France, owned by Willie etc etc, they are mostly a string of question marks with a price for the pleasure. We may not have seen half of them, I doubt most will make it. Hopefully Allmankind goes to the DRF and wins another G1.

                  • Fraser Island similar flat profile to Pentland Hills although higher rating. Spent a lot of time with Henrietta Knight who thought a lot of him. Won well on his debut when heavily backed. Clearly right at the top of Henderson's best juveniles so far and runs again tomorrow at Kempton. Henderson has a 40% win rate in the Triumph over the last 10 years and clearly knows what it takes to win it. Fraser Island is currently 33/1 and if he wins well tomorrow that'll look good value.

                      He has Monte Cristo to come out at the end of the month or start of next month. Not sure they are that happy with him at the moment heard a few mentions that hes a bit weak. Id expect him to run at Chelt on 25th if hes ready.

                        Thanks. Been studying the race for the last 2 hours. Have settled for Fraser Island on what we've seen so far. Very impressive at Newbury and actually has flat form with current fav Aspire Tower who he beat by nearly 20 lengths getting a few pounds. Fraser is nearly 5 X his price which I can't resist. On at 33's.

                        • Mick Pastor is 25/1 NRNB with Skybet. I know he is fav with them for the Boodles but if he runs here he wont be 25/1

                                Yep, HDB looks to have a very strong team for Cheltenham this year. His strongest ever.
