  • I'd say it's highly likely Queens Brook goes Mares if she wins, otherwise she'll be Coral Cup bound

      Burning Victory, Gauloise & Dysart Dymond in for WPM, interestingly Queens Brook is entered up for Elliott!
      ...and Heaven Help Up is in there.

        • Gauloise, Dysart Dymond, Queens Brook & Burning Victory are all declared for the Quevega on Wednesday, whether racing goes ahead is another story.

              Given the swing at the weights I’d be very concerned if Paul isn’t onboard BV. She’d want to be winning Wednesday with a little bit in hand to justify being a real good shout for the Mares for me which I think she is.

              • If burning victory can't win that she has no chance off levels at Cheltenham

                Queens Brook is the one that interests me, a win or a close second to burning victory giving the weight puts her right in contention

                • Pleased to see Queens Brook declared. A nice run to bring her on for Tues 15th March would be lovely. Hopefully not too hard a race on nasty ground if racing is on.

                    Agreed splinter. Every chance she will drift a little if she gets beat too and could be a nice time to top up.

                      I mean, it looks unlikely if she doesn't win here.

                      But then, Black Tears looked unlikely to turnaround the form with Concertista on their xmas run. Getting weight and was smashed.

                        I will be disappointed if Burning Victory doesn't win, and if I'm being completely honest, doesn't win well.

                        What interests you about Queens Brook? She seems popular on podcasts and I feel like I'm missing something so genuinely curious to know so I can add her if need be.

                        Her bumper run was obviously very good and she's unexposed which are good positives, but when I look through what she's actually achieved I'm left a little underwhelmed.

                        • Dysart diamond - Cooper.
                          Gauloise - Blackmore.
                          Burning Victory - Townend.

                            Id be interested in her bumper run and that she's very unexposed

                            its a weak race and open to an improver, her current price looks a little slim so il wait to see what happens. Gordon says she is tough to get fit so if she runs well on Wednesday i may add her if she gets pushed out as improvement in March will be highly likely.

                            I still have huge reservations about burning victorys jumping personally and think she'd be much better suited by the new course

                            She jumped a bit better last time but she had a clear sight at her hurdles due to the very strange way the race was run which she likely won't get in the mares hurdle

                            But since the triumph she's not got near winning a race over hurdles and wouldve been beaten half the track in that had goshen not been so unfortunate

                            I like her on the flat, backed her both times she ran in France and got a great run for my money in the Cesarewitch. But the jury is very much still out over hurdles for me.

                            Fascinating race to watch on Wednesday, hopefully its not a complete bog.

                            • Think Gauloise worth NRNB play at 25s

                              Has poss most potential of these and Rachael riding as much about ownership than anything i guess

                              If she wins/runs well then likely to shorten a lot.....and if runs as poorly as last time, then won't go

                              Feels like a bet with much more upside than risk

                                Her bumper run and being unexposed is not enough to make her interesting for this at 12/1 is it? Agree maybe see what happens before going in.

                                Is this a weak race? It feels more open than weak. I can see 3 maybe 4 previous festival winners likely to line up, with a number of others who have run to a much higher level than QB.

                                Agree that Burning Victory's Achilles heel has always been her jumping. I saw enough last day to give me encouragement but you make a good point re clear sight of her hurdles.

                                Glad HHU isnt running
