  • Not giving up on GDM until we see his next run, presumably over further. Capodanno stayed on really well to win after his mistake 2 out but GDM was also doing all his best work late on to be beaten a couple of lengths. My view is let's see what he can do over 3 miles with a run under his belt before going for any hasty cashouts!

      Absolutely. I’ll happily wave the white flag if he disappoints next time out.

        They both came back at Henry's horse after the last, because he made a mistake at it, then appeared to tire in the last furlong (possibly due to that error).

        Capo and GDM finishing well was boosted visually, by the runner-ups error IMHO.

        I'm not sure in the aftermath of the race that anyone was talking about Embrun Mitja (on his 2nd run back after 900+ days off) - and maybe they should have been, as Henry has entered him in the 2M1F Christmas Grade 1 Novice chase.

          Agree with the point about the runner up SW but Capo & Gaillard also pulled well away from the others after the last. Not saying that Delvino is a star but he does provide another reference point for the stronger finishers (even if Rosey's Hollow was a more questionable reference point!)

            …really good point re Embrun M, must be very fragile & not seen any trainer quotes re target.

              I liked all three, in differing ways, I wasnt seeking to knock Capo and GDM, more highlight the forgotten horse (from a big stable) in second.

                I love races where there's so much going on, they need a few rewinds!

                  …and from what I see, isn’t in the Novice Chase markets for March. I doubt this race would be the option.

                    a real lurker for one of them maybe

                      ….i suppose it’s difficult being a ‘lurker’ if not in the markets.

                        It's perfect for a lurker to not be in the markets

                        Off the radar.

                        Hiding in full sight, after that race, yet ignored.

                        • I'm not sure he'll be a Festival horse, but if he did end up with a mark they like he could be one for The Plate off ten stone something. He wouldn't particularly want a trip on breeding, and that race should have suited him getting weight against a couple of future stayers.
                          Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

                            Im not sure either.

                            He was being rather left out of the post-race discussion, though, and its a brilliant training feat to be in amongst the Mullins quality pair in that race.

                            His next run will be as interesting a watch as Capo's and GDM's, to see if he goes on or levels off.

                              • Think they mentioned weather permitting he'll run and it looks pretty dry down there so not sure ahoy will take his chance. Really hope he does those as it will be a cracker.
