  • Next Destination not there, not surprised

    Comment


    • Next Destination nowhere to be seen either and see he was taken out of training in December according to the BHA.

      I know he isn't exactly a superstar, but high profile enough to expect some form of status update.

        Didn’t know he wasn’t in training. Shame, he’d have been a live outsider I’d have said.

        • Envoi not being in isn't a huge surprise but it sill feels a bit of a moment after many months fantasising over that Shishkin RAB double in particular. Farewell that particular dream, forever in our hearts.

            He’s got very close form with Galvin, would have been nice if that had been more widely publicised imo

              It did hurt changing that in my spreadsheet from "Likely NR" to "Non-Runner"

                I’m surprised they haven’t really tried him at 3miles properly to see one way or another if he stays or not. Gordon always felt he was a stayer but hdb hasn’t ever really seemed keen on exploring that route. The John durkan to me he was just poor rather than not staying.

                • Biggest surprise for me in those entries is Angels Breath. No sign of him so far this season and then he pops up here. He was really promising in his novice chases but obviously it's hard to expect much from him after such a long time off. Might chance the 66/1 NRNB though if we see an entry soon.

                    • Interesting entry for Mount Ida here which could shake up the Mares Chase a little.

                      The owners twitter account is very interesting as well

                          Scrubbing an Envoi Allen 20/1 Gold Cup/Adayar 50/1 Derby winner double voucher was one of lifes more painful experiences...

                          • Didnt realise Carefully Selected was still about either, another really random entry.

                            • ….weird if the Pertemps winner is in those GC entries.

                              • Like a lot of punters, Gordon Elliott reckons Galvin is tailor-made for the stamina-sapping test a Gold Cup presents, and also revealed why the novice Run Wild Fred has been entered along with last year's Kim Muir winner Mount Ida, the sole mare left in the race.

                                Elliott said: "It looks a wide open Gold Cup this year and you can probably pick a few holes in them all. You never know what could happen over the next few weeks so I've entered Run Wild Fred and Mount Ida, as well as Galvin, Delta Work and Conflated.

                                "We haven't even put a saddle on Galvin since he won the Savills – he's having an easy week. He goes straight for the Gold Cup and, at this stage, you would have to say he ticks an awful lot of the boxes."
