      Easy Game OR 160
      Samcro OR 160
      Notebook OR 158

        Henry always put Sizing Europe in a 2M4F race each year, and ended up in the Champion Chase in March.

        He said in his Stable Tour in the Racing Post yesterday that Notebook could start in the Down Royal mid-trip race or a 2-Mile race a week or so after.

        He was keen to say that he would take in the 2M races after his seasonal debut.

          That just highlights why I don't use OR's in graded races




          I backed Easy Game for the RSA and Marsh, I do like him a lot.... I think he's a great little horse, but he's not as good as Samcro, that's just stupid.


          If they were both 33/1 for the Ryanair, you'd be absolutely bananananananannans to take Easy Game over him.
          Equally if they were both 10/1.


          Therefore Samcro should be favourite whenever they meet?

            I do think that Samcro will be favourite on Saturday.
            He isn’t invincible though, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Notebook and/or Easy Game are on top form that he may have to run on top form to win (Which he could do of course).

            • Something has to be up if Samcro isn't odds on there.

                Yep, maybe Notebook being aimed at Ryanair and A Plus Tard going GC.

                  Incredibly unlikely Henry De Bromhead starts splitting his horses that are in those ownerships based on just that?

                    Think he's already flirted with the idea of going up in trip with APT. Interesting thought.

                      Yeah that's fine.... I'm just saying Notebook won't have anything to do with where A Plus Tard runs...

                        Yep, agree but I am surprised to see him starting off upped in distance. If he pissed up against decent opposition then it'll be hard to drop him back.

                          10/11 Easy Game
                          2/1 Samcro
                          5/1 Notebook
                          8/1 Sizing Pottsie
                          9/1 Zero Ten
                          10/1 Battleoverdoyen
                          One thing not mentioned for this Grade 2 race is that Samcro and Notebook would be carrying a Group 1 penalty, and Easy Game wouldnt.

                            But even so. The thought of Easy Game being odds on against Samcro is the stuff of fiction

                            • Envoi Allen being odds on against Samcro is a push at this stage, never mind Easy Game

                              • The Marsh form may not be that good. IMO - especially in relation to races in the build up to Cheltenham again.
                                The front three hardly had faultless build ups.
                                It was probably their combined liking for Cheltenham that showed up, and the back class they've shown coming to the fore on the day.
                                Melon and Samcro may well have disappointing build ups again, only to be competitive come March.
                                Kind of what I expect to happen anyway. And will bet accordingly.
