Would have to reassess if Benie was to come here but given the way she routed a field including the current Stayers holder then Roksana at 16s looks decent to me. Skelton has said the owners aren't aren't too pushed on Cheltenham but she's a former festival winner and if continuing in the same vein as she started this season then a huge chance she come here surely?Comment

Do we know what the plans are for City Island? He interests me @ 46's. I know it all went to shit last year over fences and you can't help but think that contributed to a woeful run in this. Beating Champ at Cheltenham was incredibly impressive and if they campaign him over hurdles properly and everything goes well, then he's a horse at 33's that I could easily see drop into single digits come March. He has plenty of ability, I'm absolutely sure of that - certainly more than others languishing around that type of price at the moment.Comment

I have him down on my list to back any race, but I'd quite like an entry first, to see what plans are.Originally posted by charlie View PostComment

Yeh sounds sensible COD, I'll probably follow suitOriginally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

If they could get his rating down a few lbs (around 147/148) then I'd think the Coral Cup could well come into play, and I'd really like him for that.Originally posted by charlie View PostComment

Looked very good hurdling in 2019 and did me a big favour winning the Ballymore. Aborted chasing career last year (disappointed in 2 runs). Reverted to hurdles in March and got pulled up behind Lisnagar. Brassil not having many runners so far and Longhouse disappointed. Brassil has 4 entries this weekend.Originally posted by charlie View Post
Possibility that they may go go back novice chasing this year with City Island as still a maiden but if I saw an entry for a good class hurdle I would follow you in for StayersComment

I doubt he will go back over fences tbh - he was rubbish over themOriginally posted by Pendil View PostComment

....hopefully Lord Royal is well after yesterday’s crashing fall. I wonder if they might put him back over hurdles to restore confidence and if so he could be one to get onside in this market.Comment

No real fan of the Pipe's but that was bloody impressive. Add another contender into the mix.Comment

On that showing, off that weight and with more improvement to come maybe, yes.Originally posted by Bonjers View PostComment

Just won off 147 right? IIRC, the high 150s puts you in with a shout for the stayers so he’s not a million miles away... 25/1 currently. Seen worse bets.Comment

Yep.Originally posted by dannycraigpirates View Post
Paisley Park won same race off 147
Sam Spinner off 139
And Lisnagar Oscar was well beat off 141.
It's a good trial for the stayers and the winner was impressive, although the 7lb claim would have helped.Comment

Anything north of 150 has a chance of being in the mix realistically it's hard to crab most horses in the division to get involved in the places really. His last couple of flat runs he needed every inch of 2m so he clearly relished the 3m trip, long way to go but he deserves a shot in graded events given the current crop.Comment

Cashed out Laurina for 90% and stuck it in Main Fact @ 25/1. Stunning what that horse has done.Comment
