Nice writeup TOTG! Interesting that you think Classic Getaway will stick to bumpers next season.

Thanks! Yes I think I’m in the minority on that one

I'm hopeful he'll go that route. If he doesn't then I'd be pretty confident that Cheveley Park would want one of theirs going to the Bumper to keep the run going and in memory of DT.

Great write up BTW. Bang on every race as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks Lobos! Yes and they would surely send their best down that route too. Who knows, it’s August and I’m already getting involved in Mullins bingo

Yeah, wish he was a bit more punter friendly like Henry. That'll never happen though.

Min out until at least Christmas after a surgery on his hind leg:

Observation/Question....

Willie's Novice maiden Hurdler Tax For Max runs in the Ebor on Saturday. If he were to run well in that race, would we expect him to continue over hurdles and if so where do we think he could end up at Cheltenham?

Apologies if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but Santini moves from Henderson to Polly Gundry

Basically sounds like the horsey equivalent of working 2 days a week before pressing the retirement button.

Hunter Chase it is then !

[Cheltenham Novice Chase]

Clerk of the course Simon ‘get my watering can out’ Claisse is being replaced by Jon Pullin who previously clerked at Doncaster, Uttoxeter, Southwell and Wolverhampton. The transition will happen mid season but Pullin will be in charge for the Festival.

There's quite an apt nautical theme in the last two topics.

HMS Santini followed by Simon Claisse.

Not sure who put up Tshimanga to be top scorer in the conference but good start today. He got one in the first game

….I notice a Sky RaB; Appreciate It/Shishkin/Bob O to win a/r, Envoi & Se Mo Laoch to place a/r.

Had to look Se Mo Laoch up. I wonder what made somebody request this horse amongst such illustrious company given it will be an 11 year old at the next Festival and has never run at Cheltenham before. Runs over a distance, often amateur ridden perhaps somebody is aware of a target.

Apparently it was a cracker, beating 3 defenders according to a Tweet from Chesterfield FC.

I didnt think I would be following Chesterfield on Twitter, but I hope he scores enough times for me to Follow them for the whole season.
