  • Equinox and Losange Blue tomorrow currently just over 6/4 for the double.

    • Losange Blue bringing the double up. Probably the last grade 1 he will win now he's stepping into open company and Jeu de Thaix looks an absolute weapon.

      July Flower would be interesting if going for the mares novice hurdle.

        Is there a form link between July flower and one of those two?

          Just came 2nd to Losange Bleu. Fillies only get 4 pounds in France instead of the 7 here.

          Losange Bleu was well beat by Gala Marceau but beat Zarak the Brave in the spring grade 1. I'd say he's somewhere around a 140ish horse so July Flower could be 135ish after 3 hurdle runs. Not far off the level required to run well in a Mares Novice.

          • Ah right, I backed July flower months back for the mares novice but then she ran poor at aintree and drifted. I have cash out with paddy so was hoping she'd win a maiden hurdle this season and get trimmed, didn't even realize she was gone back to France. I'll keep an eye for any comments about coming across for the festival.

            • Fancy taking An Tobar and Found A Fifty as roll ups towards Chelt.

              Any strong case for dangers in their respective races?

                Do we know which of An Tobar or Slade Steel is going yet? (assuming both won't)

                  A fair few. I wouldn't be confident of either winning. Slade Steel and Farren Glory will be no pushovers and Sharjah and Favori ,if he turns out quickly , will be in the thick of things.

                    Do they normally split them ? Both would seem well suited by the race.

                      Both aren't going..

                      • Lobos yea maybe need to give hurdlers a further thought, I don't think Favori will be turned out in this and Sharjah possibly one to take on.. have a bias against older horses.. fair or not. I did quite like F2F debut and have him in for turners. Will definitely be topping up with a ‘win today’ for this race as well.

                        With El Fab and Blue Lord not looking likely to head Paddy Rewards Chase - per Bromley today. Captain Guinness (will Henry go across for tingle creek? Not so sure) & Dino Blue are two I’d pick from the field.

                          I think so. I've not known Henry to run two Robcour horses against each other before (the opportunity may not have arisen of course).

                              Ive chanced both GDM and Cpt Guiness for now

                              No point Cpt G going for a tough one against Jonplod when he'd have a strong favs chance of winning a g1 their side of the water.
                              GDM a risky punt as he was meant to go Naas for the Poplar but missed, maybe just needed a bit more time not sure :/

                              Dino they said they'd find another similar race to the Barberstown, so I wonder if they wait for the Horse & jockey with her :/

                              Tough to be confident on any calls really

                                No confirmation yet.

                                Course walk today, they want it plenty soft for Tobar, but is preference.
