The Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle

[Eggs]

Anyone any idea if Eldorado Allen comes here?

...no, but there was money for it last week after being tipped up by Racing Post’s Ben Linfoot (along with Southfield Stone in the Close Bros).

[Birds Nest]

He’ll find it hard in this race and Albert Bart to lead and do it from front unless they can ride him effectively with a change of tactics

More of a hold up horse on the flat so might not be a problem.

Just been taking a close look at Janidil's races over the last year and he's a horse I like for this. Unlucky loser to Notebook in a maiden in January last year on his first outing for Willie Mullins and the winner of two big field two-mile handicaps this season.He races up with the pace but the further he goes the better he seems to be. Has entries in the Supreme, Ballymore and AB and also priced up for the County Hurdle. Trying to second guess Willie is tricky at the best of times but the handicap route seems most likely and I reckon this could be perfect for him. Skybet the only firm offering a price on this - 14-1 is not over-generous but if he turns up on the day I reckon he'll be single figures. Also taken Skybet's nrnb 33-1 for the Ballymore and 40-1 for the AB in case Willie has other ideas. Wherever he goes this horse wont disgrace himself and with luck Mark Walsh will again be in the saddle.

I always find it strange when somebody posts for the first time and doesn't acknowledge it

Welcome to the forum.

One to look out for when other firms are NRNB in case they price him wrongly in a handicap perhaps?

Welcome to the forum.

It bugs me a little too, not sure why, it just does.

Welcome NC

I agree.
It's like they've not knocked on the door and just walked straight into my/our house

Welcome nortonscoin
You must be old as my grandad don't bother knocking either

[Kevloaf]

That is 3 of the least sincere sounding welcomes I've ever read as well.

It's not personal Nortons Coin.

[Big Bucks]

Haha I'm probably the opposite! I can't stand the generic "Hi guys hope you don't mind me posting, been a long time admirer of the forum, first time posting, thought I would join..." then explain why they eventually joined and not continued to be a lurker!

2nd time I've been a condriticing (See you next tuesday) today, as I think that's basically what I done.

So welcome NC!

Anyone still on the pic d'orhy train? Interesting to see how he goes tomorrow with a possible view to him turning up here or the county

Thanks for the encouraging words Big Bucks/Humble Pie.
And apologies for ignoring protocol and bugging some of you guys by not announcing my arrival on the forum.
To be honest, I didn't think anyone would notice it was my first post when I finally plucked up the courage to write something after being a fan of the forum for the last couple of years.
Quevega is right, I am an old git - National Hunt racing has been my passion for 60 years. My dad says I learned to read on the racing page of the paper. I still spend months studying form to find big price winners at the Cheltenham Festival which is why I came knocking on your door - assuming you guys love unearthing the Norton Coins of this world as much as I do.
So I was rather sad to read the comments of Kevloaf, Quevega and Faugheen_Machine in response to my first post.
Anyway, sorry once again for my rudeness.
I think it's best if I just walk quietly back out through the door and leave you to it. Good luck at Cheltenham everyone.

I notice everything.

You've decided not to notice the jovial tone and the very clear point about it not being personal too


... I look forward to you walking back through the door to talk to us some more!

I tried to derail that.

You might find some mangled bodies though clutching tickets.
