    Yeah I was stuck between adding Champion Green or Max Mayhem who runs this weekend but ended up siding with CG as looking through his form of his last race, the 3rd that day which is also Josephs' has won his maiden hurdle beating doctor brown bear who ran 3rd today and Champion Green won well on his final flat run easily accounting for Max Mayhem.

    Went to check Josephs tour and Champion Green was mentioned but nothing regarding MM, so it's an educated risky bet.

      Early season interviews with Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden suggested that they were both very sweet on Matterhorn. Nicholls described him as a nice chaser in the making so I think they will mind him this season and not run him in a race frequently described by him as a 'cavalry charge'. Magistrato is probably their Triumph horse but IMO needs to improve to challenge the likes of Fil Dor.

      • horse in 2nd ran a very good race there I think, trained by meade so potentially another Jeff Kidder for the boodles?

        • Not as impressive as first time out, but that attitude will serve him well up the hill.

          • Good test for him and 15L to the third.

            • Not much out there to beat him as of yet but I'd be willing to oppose him all day at the price. Porticello is all I have in the book as of now.

                Will surely get too high of a rating for the Fred Winter. I think he'll be a Triumph horse tbh.

                Meade also had a juvenile out the other day that won in the same colours as Jeff Kidder that will most likely go to the FW

                • I liked that from Fil Dor, cruises along, knows how to battle, lovely jump at the last. Not sure he's the winner of this but most are on at or had chance to be on at fancy prices so if he makes it to the day itself you'll be in with a nice live chance. The first 2 were well clear of the rest and I feel like there was a decent bit left in the tank, i'd like to see him to the front earlier like his first run. Overall it was pleasing stuff.

                  • Very likeable performance from FD. Give him the hill and we'll see him at his best. Can't back the runner-up as its N.Meade.

                    • Horse in second looked very useful and had a much better run in. Fil Dor had to reposition a couple of times from 3 out. I’d be marking him up slightly for that run.

                      Interested to see what Willie has got!

                        Parmenion and Vauban, whenever they come out

                        • On a line through Lunar power makes me slightly more confident in my iberique de sueil bets, hes obviously a good horse and maybe there isnt much seperating fil dor and iberique as the betting would suggest

                          • I thought Fil Dor won that easier than the distance suggests. One reminder and he went past Lunar Power.

                            • I prefer the runner up and hope they clash again at Christmas.

                              Fil d'Or is one of the worst priced horses at the festival imo. 5/1 for the Triumph in November is horrid.

                              • I took the view that Davy Russell was at pains to teach him plenty on how to race, letting him drop in, edge out, work for the win, whilst being confident that he had the horse to be able to do that and win.
