Owner sounded keen on ITV. I would if I were them. I've liked this horse for a long time so I'll have to back him if he runs.

Good. Means we won't get any price at all, but likeable horse!

Not seen this market mentioned as much as the Champion Hurdle version.

Non Irish Trained - 3 places 1/5 odds.


What do we think? Where is the value?

Currently 11 horses quotes, will we have more than 8? I don't think so.... maybe the 3 places now is worth taking a poke....

[Exar Essay]

Santini and Aye right the value? Only ones outside of the top 3 that have a chance of running surely?

Agreed from an ew perspective. Which bookmaker?

It's with skybet.

Kevloaf I just looked at that list and thought how embarrassing it is So much so, I struggled to fancy anything

Not very inspiring, is it !

[Kevloaf]

Haha, I have to say, Santini is the one I thought about but haven't pulled the trigger.

If that was the actual race I'd think Protektorat just HAD to be taken on...but wouldn't really fancy Chantry House or Royal Pagaille without knowing the ground....and then the one I do fancy, did actually get beaten by Santini.... albeit I'd fancy Santini to have reversed it with an extra 1f... or 2f.


Oh, I have pulled the trigger.

I have completed the 10-year Assessment of the GOLD CUP and the RPR's that the Winners and placed horses had achieved prior to their Festival runs, and compared that with this seasons crop.

Kennedy actually got a ride if Conflated is going Ryanair?

I did wonder myself after reading full article - Henry has said it is “highly likely” that Robbie will retain the ride though. I suppose it depends on whether Delta Work ends up here (which also now seems unlikely).
Just another part of the puzzle.

Would be a bit of a cruel blow for Jack if he doesn’t have another ride in the race, especially as they seemed keen to retain the partnership at the start of the season & until Gordy put his foot down.

Massive pointer to Galvin's GC hopes if they don't think Conflated can beat him. Conflated stuffed last year's winner out of sight last time. The big 'G' just wins doesn't he.
