I've just taken this 0.5pts EW @ 75/1. He's a massive winner for me anyway, but I just can't resist and for 5 places I think that's fair, even though he's disappointed recently. -
This genius smashed up the 25/1 paying 3 places last Spring/Summer....Originally posted by Bluefox21 View PostComment

Timeform 1-2-3- Honeysuckle ★★★★★
- Epatante (FR) ★★★★
- Goshen (FR) ★★★
HONEYSUCKLE looked better than ever when easily landing the Irish Champion last month and is taken to get the better of last year's winner Epatante and extend her unbeaten record to 11. Goshen put himself firmly back in the mix for this with his impressive Kingwell success and looks best of the remainder.

I'm concerned for Nicky Henderson this week.
Lacks any fire power in the novices.
His best horses haven't performed or have had interrupted prep (Champ over 2 miles, Altior out now after missing plan events). Shishkin appears to be the only one that has a real chance
I'm worried about Epatante now. Brilliant at Newcastle but she had it all her own way. Kempton, she was crazy mad, and just didnt run here race, and worried at her age that she yet to go head to head with a horse and fight it to the line.
She'll need to be 110% tomorrow to beat the likes of these, and struggling to see it given the form that Henderson has been in this season
I'm already committed on Epatante, having backed her at the start of the season. Yeah, she still has a chance and especially if she turns up looking relaxed and ready to go. However, I'm struggling to see how this race will suit her. She wont have much chance to settle into this race.
Going into the festival, into one of the hottest races of the week, with questions marks on her health and current state, is becoming a significant worry for me nowComment

I have felt the same for some time but he has, believe it or not, had 6 winners from his last 23 runners and another 6 were placed 2nd/3rd, this would suggest the yard form is good.Originally posted by opatcho View Post
I know many of his horses scoped dirty in January and the general perception is he's struggled but the recent numbers don't bear that out...Comment

Concerned, worried, struggling and significant worry all in the same post.Originally posted by opatcho View Post
having read your post about the 3 day festival in general chat too, I think you need to relax a little my friend.
Just be thankful its going ahead and as lovers of the national hunt game we get to spend 4 wonderful and hopefully profitable days taking it all in.Comment

So looking forward to this race. Been adamant Honeysuckle would win since DRF but the drying ground has made me sway towards Epatante who I feel has been forgotten about a little bit. Or maybe that's just me getting nervy since Honeysuckle has ended up my best result in this race.
Then you have Goshen out for redemption and the likes of Aspire Tower, Silver Streak, Abacadabras and Sharjah who have a decent enough chance. If that's not enough James Du Berlais is fascinating and could do anything here.
Just can't wait!

Been contorting for weeks thinking about Aspire Tower, but boosted 17/1 with 5 places with Hills seems too good to resistComment
