We don't know more than trainers kev..............even if we sometimes think we do.
I’ve done some race planning for a trainer in the past and I can tell you that’s not true. Trainers can be very insular in their approach and very one dimensional.
I’d say irrespective of what you hear from a trainer, back your own judgement, and follow what they say and learn what happens afterwards if you want to read between the lines.

Very happy with the Flinteur Sacre result today. As I said, all hype and for so many reasons the perfect back to lay horse.
In the spirit of balance he’ll end up being a much better horse than we saw today, but it’ll probably take a season or two and fences for him to start showing his potential.

I hope it wasn't Mr Tizzard as some of his over these last few years have been questionable

I'm not having that Spectre. They know far more about training Horses than all of us on here put together. Don't kid yourself.
Training them yes, but that's only one part of the job Lobos. And I'm far from kidding myself.
They treat them like their own and know them inside out. Of course they are going to get it wrong plenty of times on how they think they'll perform at the track , especially with Novices, but without their input we as punters wouldn't have a clue where to start the majority of time.
I could give you multiple examples of horses running in the wrong races this weekend Lobos. Trainers too often look for the next opportunity rather than the best opportunity, and plenty have no idea how to manage a mark or a career. Sometimes that includes big name trainers.
I'll give you just one example of that this weekend. Cask Mate will run in the Royal Bond at the weekend. He's second favourite and will run like a second favourite. He currently has a mark that with UK handicapper tax would probably have him going close in the Coral Cup or the Martin Pipe, but irrespective of his race tomorrow, long before that Noel Meade will blow his mark in another egg and spoon novice hurdle, and the horse will end up in no mans land. Because of time off he's 7 rising 8 next Festival and he'll have nowhere to go.
I hope I'm proven wrong, but I won't be.

Keskonrisk another winner to go in today having been a big AP price for his potential festival target. Quickened really nicely, and can probably mark it up a bit after being a bit short of room at a point & on the back of a layoff

Very impressed there - did well to win from that position and looked to still have plenty left.
Lovely turn of foot from Keskonrisk to reel in a race fit Indigo Breeze after he'd gone 5 lengths clear, he settled & jumed nicely, very promising run with a view to the Supreme. Kudos to Jackie for pointing him out in here early doors! 50/1 looks big based on todays run.
