      • I Like Ziggy has a touch of class, but think 3 miles is his optimum trip, and think he’s not crying out for any further.

        Haven’t backed anything for NHC yet, but Nick Rockett would be my main fancy at the moment​

          Jockey did hint at this the run before last which is why I wanted him covered for the BANC.

          • A heads up to all - I'm sure most of you won't have backed her for the Mares Hurdle but Marie's Rock will definitely be campaigned over 3 miles this year.

            I've spoke to M Park this morning and will be putting a tweet up later this morning. Wanted to give FJ the heads up first in case you need to cash.

              • Sir Gino/S.Mundi form being tested today at Auteuil at 4:00. 3rd that day Kador De Ciergues is out for the first time since. Looks a competitive enough race.

                Another good race 1:33. Jigme up against the much improved Light Wave.

                  I like Ziggy but can't fathom him as a serious BANC contender. Had one go in a grade 1 hurdle and was pulled up. Had 4 chases already and will have put up a mid 150s RPR, which is decent but not outstanding and leaves him short. Ideally I'm wanting 160+ - 5 of the last 6 winners did, Gerri hit it on his 3rd chase start and The Real Whacker did so on his 2nd. I can't think of many summer campaigns for grade 1 chasers and can't help but feel that backing him for the BANC is a waste of chips

                    Agree with all of this. And surely when we see Ziggy at Cheltenham in October it will all but confirm NHC is the plan

                      According to Josh on LTR who does have contact with the yard that he is following the Galvin and Chemical Energy route.

                          This was Jack's quote after winning on Ziggy the time before last.....

                          "He has a bit of class about him, isn't a slow horse and is effective anywhere from 2m4f up to three-miles."
