  • Fergal O'brien has come out on atr and said that Champagne Well goes here - he is another who i think is well handicapped off 141. Wouldn't put anyone off at 33's

      Agreed - got outstayed by Ramses in the River Don & a good run behind Thyme Hill at Cheltenham the tim3 before - starting to turn blue - still get 37s with a boost at Hills.

        he's currently 2lbs higher than last year, Maybe willie's number 1 for this???
        ...I remember Barry Geraghty talking it up on the preview night circuit last year.

          If I remember correctly the trainer thought his chance was gone and his odds drifted because of the soft ground, so he still ran very well in spite of that.

                      Article I read in the sun (not sure how reliable they are as a source) but quote Skelton...

                      His form has just improved and improved and he’s just working brilliantly, I can’t have him any better.

                      He handles a bit of cut in the ground now too which he never used to.

                      He’ll go for the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Plate. His mark doesn’t look overly harsh.

                      He’s won two big handicaps on route so I’d have to think he’s got a massive chance.

                      • From tonight’s preview at a Castle Cary

                        Skelton: Protekorat goes Coral Cup.

                        • Didn't even know William Henry had an entry in this, good record and will wait on the declarations as price has dropped significantly after win. I know will probably be shorter by then but not wanting anymore at this stage.

                          Have Protekorat and Burrows Edge and want to go in on them again! Then keeping an eye on Mullins entries.


                          EDIT If had a 365 account would probably.tske the 25s! Nrnb

                            He was one I had shortlisted waiting to see his mark after running today.

                            Won the Coral Cup last year (tipped by moi ) off a mark of 151...

                            He was 5 lbs HIGHER, before winning today.



                            Therefore, in my opinion, he's not going to win the Coral Cup off a significantly higher mark than last year, as they'll surely pop him up at least a couple of lbs again after this win!

                              I was all over him the year before when 4th! Raging with myself didn't do it the next year!

                              • Someone’s mentioned it already, but I do think Champagne Well is a very good price for this. Has a strong chance in my book.
