You can't love him that much then

LOL fair one.

I see Hills are offering Supasundae @5/2 or @3.5 to be in the first 4 places. Tempted.

Ok with this.
much prefer the class horse angle in this race, not the scruffy handicappers.
Just watching Epatante's price and will add more if it drifts, might not drift at all as I'm sure it's looking more and more obvious.
Might go off shorter than 2-1

[Unexposed]

Coming round to Pentland Hills for this, the old course will suit him better, with Cornerstone Lad, Petit Mouchoir and perhaps Supasundae you'd think the pace will be strong enabling him to settle better. He didn't settle great last year and won despite that.

I'd forgive his forst two runs this season, which were ran on soft and heavy ground meaning a slower pace and meaning he hasnt't settled. In both races he looked the winner 2f out. The pace is the key here and if there's good to soft in description that will only improve his chance

Added Supasundae E/W before the decs so I’m going to war with three.

Petit Mouchoir - 89.0 & 28/1 E/W
Not So Sleepy - 100/1 E/W
Supasundae - 12/1 E/W


What a strange year for this race.

I finally added Epatante today. If she wins this and went unbacked I'd be fuming having seen the cases made on here and with it being so obvious, so let's go!

[Kevloaf]

Haha, a late forum charge on Epatante

[mayo]

Tom Lee just said that we should back Fusil Raffles because he was joint fav in the Xmas hurdle.

A proper WTF.

For me, he is so difficult to listen to and remain calm.

I think there is actually a case due Call me lord but this ...

[Altior]

Mentioned it before, I'll give up the game if Fusil Raffles wins, hell I'll give it up if he finishes second. Piglet of a horse.

Haven’t been as sure of anything since Dodging Bullets champion chase #Iwaswrong

[Brooksie]

Nothing wrong with Fusil, wouldn't be strange to see him put that disapointing run behind him.

Looked brutal at Winny as well, lucky to come home first.

Official Ratings (with mares allowance included)

167 - Epatante
163 - Sharjah
160 - Supasundae
159 - Cilaos Emery & Cornerstone Lad


Funnily enough, they're the 5 I've backed

Isn't it crazy how easily people dismiss Cornerstone Lad compared to the likes of Cilaos Emery - rated the exact same, yet ones with Mullins and supplemented and was all the rage(ish), the other is a Grade 1 winner in this sphere and largely ignored! If any other horse had beaten Buveur D'air I reckon thay'd get some credit too He also comes out a better horse at the weights after his clash with Pentland Hills when they met.
